I've been seeing lots of fascinating animals in nearby forests lately, so I'm doing some evening reading on local fauna 🦋

"As for admiration, it was always very welcome when it came, but she did not depend on it."

Jane Austen

Northanger Abbey

Practical Magic, Alice Hoffman

I'm the bride of a dead monstrous king, i'm a living cursed doll, i'm the ghost of a wounded girl; cursed to roam the earth for an eternity. I'm an eldritch God who once awakened will bring only chaos, i'm a void which takes form of either your lost love or your worst nightmare.

Book Review: “The Big Bad Book Of Botany” by Michael Largo

I absolutely LOVE this book. I’ve read so many different botany books and plant books, but it seems like they’re always divided into two types of books: Plant folklore, or scientific plant info.

This book is groundbreaking on multiple levels, but the main reason is that it’s an excellent resource for both botanical folklore, AND the science of the plant. It includes full black and white illustrations of each and every plant it mentions, as well as context of historical uses in different cultures, and medicinal uses, and lore. “The Big Bad Book Of Botany” is written with witty observations and is (in my opinion) a surprisingly great resource for Green Witchcraft. It’s not written for witchcraft purposes and yet is very applicable to occult practices. Better than Scott Cunningham’s Encyclopedia of Magical Herbs (in my humble opinion). And this is coming from someone who loves Cunningham’s other book on crystals and metals! I found “The Big Bad Book If Botany” at the library, and immediately realized what a gem it was. It is not on my 22nd Birthday list.
