The Witch of the Forest's Guide to Folklore Magick

Format: PDF/eBook, received as a review copy via NetGalley
Genre/Topics: witchcraft, herbalism, reference, guide

Fundamentally, this is a reference or guide book for those who are interested in herbalism, as the primary function of the book is to teach the medicinal and magickal properties of a vast selection of herbs and flowers. In addition, the author gives snippets of history and folklore about each plant, which I absolutely adored!

For the avid folklore lover, this isn't the selection for you. For the beginner witch, this might be a good addition to your shelf if you're looking for an excellent resource on herbs and flowers.

Beyond the contents of the writing, I adored the included art, though I worry how it'll turn out in print as the quality seemed lackluster and as if the images were blown up and lack clarity.

As for the description of this book, I feel it lacks depth when explaining “what folklore is, and how it connects to the practice of witchcraft.” I felt it was missing something deeper. A longer foreword about this would have been beneficial to the overall tone and depth of the book.
