This enchanting guide connects you to the wisdom of witches past, to expand and enrich your witchcraft practice. The myths, legends, and superstitions of the past offer a window into how common people made sense of their world. Because they were excluded from the halls of academia and the seats of power, they had no choice but to get on with day-to-day life, healing, birthing, and persisting as best they could. Often, it would be the village medicine woman who held the handed-down knowledge of those who had gone before, and generation by generation, they would build on this to develop a profound understanding of the healing and magickal properties of nature. It is from this deep well of folkloric knowledge that modern-day witch Lindsay Squires draws this inclusive and accessible beginner's guide. Add enchantment to your life by learning:

• What folklore is, and how it connects to the practice of witchcraft
• The magickal legends and superstitions attached to plants and trees
