Witches' Forbidden Herbs: A Practical Guide to Infamous Plants for Magic and Medicine

“The Seed Sistas are hopeful and brimming with the belief that we can create a more naturally connected world. I fully believe the sentiment and foundations of their work is much needed in the world right now.” ―from the Foreword by Neneh Cherry

Gorgeously illustrated grimoire of the witching herbs (including henbane, datura, and belladonna) that calls for these to be re incorporated into modern herbal medicine and contemporary magic.
