Real Magic
What is Plant Witchery?

I feel I have a responsibility to bring to light what Magic really is, how it really 1works, and where it actually comes from. As a little girl, I didn’t have much of anything at all. My parents were immigrants from Cuba and everything we owned for quite a few years were secondhand, thrift store finds, or hand-me-downs from the community. So how did my mother, a true Witch, practice? She used whatever she had available. She would send me outdoors to pick flowers, sticks, pinecones, mushrooms, grass, plants, branches, as well as stones from a river, resin off trees, and herbs from her garden. I would forage for what she needed. This opened my eyes to see that nature is all around us, and nature is all we need to make Magic.

Plant Witchery helps you access that truth, that delightful interplay between nature and Magic. There are so many different ways to practice as Plant Witchery—and I hope you will explore them all—but the simplest and most direct method is to work with individual plants. This book will introduce you to 200 of my most beloved plant friends and guides, explaining the medicinal and Magical properties of each of them. You will learn how to connect with them, incorporate them into your spellwork, and make them a part of your daily life. As you learn, your Magic will evolve, expand, and become an integral force in your life—but only if you accept yourself and your part as a piece of a greater whole.

Come back to yourself, to your true home. To your natural religion, Earth.
