A grimoire of green magic, The Folklore of Plants explores the traditional beliefs and magical associations tied to flowers, herbs, and trees across many centuries and cultures.

Whether used to ward off spirits, attract love, or divine the future, each plant carries generations of lore and wisdom. Drawing from ancient texts, rural customs, and oral history, T. F. Thiselton Dyer reveals how plants have been traditionally used not only for nourishment but also for spells, charms, and in worship. Examining the magical beliefs that have been passed down through centuries, The Folklore of Plants reveals the divinatory uses, powers of protection, and the age-old herbal lore of the natural world.

A charming and comprehensive guide to the folkloric history of plants, this magical book was first published in 1889 and has been preserved in this new edition for the modern reader.
