- Book Synopsis
- Madame Volare, apothecarist and witch extraordinaire invites you to be her apprentice and learn about the world's most magical plants. For thousands of years, plants have been used to heal and soothe. Discover the amazing power within a humble leaf, seed, petal and stem, and how our ancestors feared or revered flowers and herbs. From the mandrake that bestows luck to the calming St John's wort, take a fascinating walk through a witch's garden, exploring the uses, folklore and history of over fifty common plants. Respect and marvel at the pure magic of the natural world and how you can harness its power for your own health and happiness.
