Discover the secret language and magickal properties of the trees and flowers, herbs and plants found growing around you, and learn how to create your own witch's garden. Written with down-to-earth humor by a master gardener who is also a practicing witch, this creative and encouraging guide will inspire gardeners of all ages and experience levels. It includes a journal section that makes it easy to keep track of your progress, practical gardening advice, personal stories, and garden witchery lore and magick. Inside, you'll get the dirt on: - Flower folklore - Moon gardening and astrological timing - Faerie magick - Beginning to advanced witchcraft - Floral and herbal spells - Sabbat celebrations - Witch crafts (sachets, wreaths, charm bags) - Creating sacred space - Shade, moonlight, and sun gardens - Enchanted houseplant and container gardens - Magickal herbal correspondences - Garden blessings Review: When I recieved my copy of Ellen Dugans Garden Witchery, I was impressed because it was so beautiful, as I thumbed through it, I couldn`t put it on the shelf. After reading it, I can tell you not only is this a lovely book, but this little gem is just full of lots of information on plants, flowers, magickal correspondences, and specialty gardens for the magickal practitioner. She inspires the reader to create a sacred space close to nature and commune with the spirits of magickal plants. This is getting back to why many people practice nature religions like Wicca and other forms of Paganism, reverence for the earth and nature! This book was a very refreshing escape from all the 101 books out there, although, I could see it being enjoyed by Witches and non Witches alike. All that is required is a love of nature, and an open mind. It seamlessly combines practical gardening informtion with magickal advice on when to plant, gardening with the cycles of the earth and moon, how to invite blessings into the garden, and more. Ellen Dugans warm and friendly writing style makes this book a joy to read and I even found myself snickering out loud at points. Mrs. Dugan even shares with us information about the language of flowers that she unearthed in a book from 1845! It is a treasure trove of Natural Magick, including practical spells, and Garden Witch crafts like dream pillows and charm bags. I would recommend this book to anyone who loves Magick or gardening. I am now planning new additions to my gardens for the spring based on suggestions in Garden Witchery.
