Sussex Plant Magic is a rediscovery of the plant folklore and magic of Southeast England. Though now seemingly tamed, Sussex remains alive with magical burial mounds, hill forts, dragons, dungeons, and ancient yew groves. Its plants are filled with mystery, appearing in tales of saints, monsters, Vikings, and more. From the ancient yews of Kingly Vale in the West, to the lily of the valley said to have sprung from the blood of St. Leonard, Sussex boasts a host of potent magical plants rooted in the magical landscape. This book seeks to blow the dust from the old tomes that once spoke of them and return their secrets to the forefront of practice. Discover how centaury was burned to repel ill spirits, how white bryony was once called the English mandrake, and how viper’s bugloss makes a steadfast protective ally. Uncover charms of gathering and prayers of protection once spoken with these plants, and learn how they can again be used as charms for many ends.
Deep in the ancient forests of the Weald and high on the chalk hills of the South Downs, these plants still wait for us, ready to be stirred once more by the witches of today. Sussex Plant Magic offers both new witches and experienced practitioners a handbook to rediscover the plants of England’s Southeast and beyond. With over 150 magical plants explored and mapped to their landscapes, this book invites us to call them into use again. Working within an animistic framework that places plants at the centre of practice, and building on the traditions of Agrippa, Culpeper, and Paracelsus, these plants once more reveal their power in witchcraft, alchemy, and holistic medicine.
