Witch's Forest: Trees in Magic, Folklore, and Traditional Remedies

by Sandra Lawrence Author and ROYAL BOTANIC GARDENS KEW Author

It’s easy to not grasp an idea of how much folklore, mythology, and stories of magic around the world involve trees to some degree —  compared to other living things. This is a compilation of witchy stories, an illustrated journey through the forest — places of sanctuary and also places that cache a certain wisdom and mystery of the world. This touches on different kinds of magic hidden within the trees, different uses and roles trees play in paganism from the sacred olive to the the Tree of Life.
