Each chapter begins by discussing the etymology, meanings, mythology, divination, correspondences, and magick of a particular rune and culminates with profiles of several herbs and plants that possess similar magickal energies. Each plant profile delves into the magickal, metaphysical, traditional, and medicinal applications as well as how to work with these incredible plant allies. For example, the author connects Fehu, the rune of wealth and value, with the practice of altar-building, making offerings, and with alfalfa, cedar, dandelion, and other plants traditionally used in abundance and prosperity magick. In the chapter on Kenaz, the rune of heat and illumination, the nature connection is nurtured through the element of fire and a step-by-step bindrune candle ritual. The plants connected with Kenaz are those that embody the characteristics of fire--such as passion, ferocity, and sexuality-- and include clove, damiana, and kava kava. Guiding the green witch through the benefits and strengths of synergistic magick, this book helps eclectic magickal practitioners advance their craft through folk magick and medicine, rituals, meditations, spells, and the soulful process of rewilding and connecting with Mother Nature.

💎 Expert review

💎
Esoterica Books editorial team
Occult literature desk
Miele presents a cohesive and inspiring manual that successfully merges runic mysticism with herbalism, offering clear pathways for protection and healing. The integration of external systems like tarot and astrology adds depth, appealing to those who favor syncretic approaches. However, this book is not suited for readers seeking strict historical accuracy regarding pre-Christian Norse mythology or those who prefer purely academic studies over practical application. It may also disappoint practitioners who dislike the blending of disparate magical traditions, as it prioritizes functional synergy over doctrinal purity. Ultimately, it serves best as a practical grimoire for active witches rather than a theoretical text for historians.
