Devas are the radiant light of the Universal Divine that permeates all things. Since the earliest times, people were aware that all of Nature is divine. Great and wondrous myths were told that explained the presence of divine energy as it exists in thunder, in trees, and in sunlight. Some of this lore was the foundation of religions.
But the simpler stories, such as those of a plant's energy, explored day-to-day matters like health and love. This understanding of the world has been preserved in folklore through poems, chants, ditties, and spells. From researching the history of folklore from cultures around the world, patterns emerge that enable us to approach the true nature of plants' devas.
This compendium presents the lore and the corresponding usage for 330 magickal herbes. Great care was taken only to include folklore that was documented as authentic.
You will meet many new herbes in this text and explore fascinating magickal and religi uses, but most of all, you will come to respect the divine that surrounds your everyday life.

Become a wiccan now! Wicca is referred to by many as the 'Old Religion.'
Much of modern television and books draw inspiration from the Witch Trials of the 13th century, but in truth, the Wiccan religion is not really that old. Although it is believed that the rituals and practices were hidden from the Christian Church during the dark ages, in which the life of a Pagan would most certainly end in death, it was safe enough to surface in more modern times. This belief is what originally drew most to the religion and practices of Wicca.
To become a Wiccan, one must be able to put themselves in the boots of those before them. To truly understand the laws, beliefs and traditions that come with the life of a Wiccan, you must have the knowledge of all of its origins. The most important thing in a Wiccan's pursuit for a deeper connection and better understanding of Nature – and all its divine mystery – is the willingness to learn about the history behind that need. The Wiccan Religion is truly the only one of its kind.
It is magical in its own way as it allows each of its followers the freedom to seek out the natural magic of the earth and the magic within themselves in their own way. Here is what you'll learn from this book: What wicca is: History, Origin, The Philosophy Secret Wiccan Rituals How to creat your altar Everything about Herbs How To have Successful Spellcasting and much much more!
The Green Witchcraft SeriesBy Ann MouraThis is a series of three books based on the practices of Ann Moura, a hereditary witch who incorporates many Wiccan concepts into her writing. Green Witchcraft I, is basically plant magick blended into a Wicca 101 book. She explains a lot of foundational practices and natural magick.
These books are a great place to start for anyone beginning their study in natural-plant-based practices. Green Witchcraft II Balancing Light and Shadow introduces the concept of working with darker power herbs, Otherworld travel, and balancing the powers of darkness and light. This is one of the first books in which I came across working with plants of a darker nature for protection, prophecy and healing. Green Witchcraft III: The Manual is a great beginner grimoire for learning to craft magical tools, build and altar and start casting circles. It incorporates a lot of the material of the first two books into a working devotional book based that is Wicca-centric, and based on the eight sabbats. Moura has also written Grimoire for the Green Witch, Mansions of the Moon for the Green Witch and the Tarot of the Green Witch. While I don’t abide by everything in these books this is a great place to start if you are looking for a cohesive look at green witchcraft in its entirety.
Grimoire of the Thorn-blooded WitchBy Raven GrimassiLike all of the books by the late Raven Grimassi, Grimoire of the Thorn-blooded Witch is an amazing work. It is a great introduction to traditional herb magick, and historical herb lore.
This is a book of Old World Witchcraft, using the imagery of the three thorns, Grimassi introduces the reader to the categories of magick worked by the green witch. He incorporates the lore found in traditional witchcraft circles and creates his own unique system of working based on the mastery of five magickal arts. The reader is introduced to the concept of plant spirit powers through the sacred plants of Old World Witchcraft. Grimassi gives these ancient spirits form and provides the reader with a means of contacting them.
This book lead me to the practice of the Poison Path, introducing me to these powerful spirit allies. This work was truly inspirational in my own practice, and I recommend it to anyone interested in working with plant spirit familiars. By Christopher PenczakPenczak, in The Plant Spirit Familiar, has created a book that is original and unique in its content. He elaborates on the three categories of plant spirits, Balms, Banes and Tree teachers. In each category the readers learns what each group can teach us, and what individual plants can be found within each group. The book contains rituals and formulas for working with specific plant spirits, and building a magickal practice around such work.
It culminates in a ritual to contact the Green Devil, the wild spirit of nature as a kind of initiatory working to take the practitioner deeper into the mysteries of the green and wild. Penczak does a great job explaining in depth some of the complexities of working with plant spirit familiars in his down to earth teaching style.Mastering Herbalism.

Folkard discusses the planetary correspondences of plants, the language of flowers, and folklore from both Christian and Pagan sources.
