The Treadwell’s Book of Plant Magic
by Christina Oakley Huntington
A rare compendium of the traditional use of herbs and plants in magic and spell work, with practical updates for our modern world. In The Treadwell's Book of Plant Magic, author Christina Oakley Harrington - founder of the renowned Treadwell's Books in London - focuses exclusively on the magical powers attributed to the plants. She has sifted through hundreds of traditional sources to create a rare compendium of the 'old ways' in which plants have been used to achieve love, win competitions, become invisible, gain good luck, achieve success, receive protection, and more.
The book also offers practical updates to the old uses, which the modern reader will find easy to carry out. The Problems and Solutions section suggests the appropriate plant or plants for almost any circumstance one could face in life. Each spell is carefully cited to its traditional source to aid the reader in further study.

"The Treadwell’s Book of Plant Magic is an excellent introductory guide for those interested in working with plants and folk magic. I would recommend it also as a general or quick reference, superior to Cunningham’s, for those who want to look up the folk magic associations of a herb with the reassurance of knowing the listings are based on historical sources and can be followed up via the end notes.”
