The Witch of the Forest's Guide to Folklore Magick by Lindsay Squire is a beautifully illustrated introduction to the world of plants, flowers, and trees within witchcraft. The book is visually stunning, with charming artwork and layouts that make the information easy to absorb. I especially loved the visual summaries of magical properties—perfect for quick reference. I imagine the physical copy would be even more gorgeous to flip through!

This is definitely a beginner-friendly guide, laying out the basics of using nature in your practice. While it covers a lot of ground, it’s not the most detailed or exhaustive selection of herbs and folklore, which is something to keep in mind. However, it’s a fantastic starting point for anyone curious about green magick and its roots in folklore.

If you're looking for an accessible and enchanting book to spark your interest in plant-based magick, this is a wonderful pick. Perfect for beginners or anyone who loves a beautifully designed guide to connect with nature’s wisdom. Highly recommend for your magical library!

I really enjoyed this. It starts out with a section to learn about the differences between tinctures and salves and teas, etc. This is followed by an alphabetical listing of herbs, plants, flowers, and trees with each including a little bit of folklore and the plant's magical and medicinal uses.

The art is very pretty and I think it will look even better in a physical copy.
