Wild Witchcraft: Folk Herbalism, Garden Magic, and Foraging for Spells, Rituals, and Remedies

My witch loved it.

Brilliant book so far 😊

It’s such a beautiful book with so much information in it! Love it

I admit I bought this book because it looked beautiful and mysterious. I ought to know better to be honest but whoever did the cover design and the layout deserves five stars.I haven't finished reading it and perhaps won't, because I keep finding absurd and erroneous uses of words( referring to the author of "A Modern Herbal" as the INFAMOUS Mrs Grieve; that words doesn't mean what I think the author thinks it means) and of strange examples of ignorance (like not seeming to know that cystitis IS a UTI, for example). The funniest of these was a section mentioning Joseph of Arimathea and Glastonbury but being completely clueless about what kind of tree sprang from his legendary staff, seeming to suggest it may have been an apple tree. I imagine Avalon (which is connected with apples) got muddled up. These examples are just a few of the blips that have irritated me (and I imagine many people) and it surprises me that they all got through the editing process (there MUST have been an editing process?), not to mention the rather juvenile use of exclamation marks.It's a shame because there is some useful information in there, and some that other reviewers have had concerns might prove to be dangerous, and as I said at the start, it's a beautiful book.

The author clearly knows nothing about British folklore and legends. It was a thorn - the Glastonbury thorn - that supposedly sprung from Joseph of Arimithea's staff! She's getting this apple tree thing from Avalon also being known as the Isle of Apples.The there's the anti-white comments. Nice try, but racist is still racist. Good cover though. 5 stars for the cover, pet.
