Wicked Roots Synopsis

Step into enchanted forests, ancient groves, and wildflower meadows to uncover the magical power of plants that have guided us through the depths of human experience.

Wicked Roots delves into the sacred relationship between humans and the natural world, exploring plant magic, folklore, and myth from around the globe. From rituals of death and rebirth to dreams and mystical encounters, this book reveals the hidden wisdom of trees, flowers, and fungi that have shaped our stories for centuries.

Featuring plant profiles with stunning illustrations, discover the lore behind:

  • Mandrake - screaming root of love and fertility
  • Yew - graveyard guardian of both healing and poison
  • Fly Agaric - visionary fungi of sacred journeys
  • Hawthorn - tree of the Otherworld and fairy realms
  • And many more enchanted plants!

Blending lyrical storytelling with careful research, Wicked Roots gathers plant lore, classical myth, and magical traditions from legend and history. Perfect for lovers of folklore, mythology, herbalism, and nature writing, this beautifully illustrated book invites you to reconnect with the living world and rediscover the ancient dialogue between humans and the enchanted earth.
