Description:Under the Witching
Tree; is the first in a trilogy of books by Corinne Boyer; a
folk-herbalist known for her work exploring the traditional medicinal,
and magical applications of plants and trees as well as their folklore.
This is a trilogy that guides us into the realms of plant lore, folk
magic and folk medicine. The first book, Under the Witching Tree,
focuses on the rustic magical traditions surrounding trees from western
and northern Europe and north America. Corinne's work, backed up by
nearly twenty years of experience in the field, is full of information
that is today little known, particularly within modern herbalism. This
is a book which presents the reader with a wealth of home-spun and very
hands-on practices exploring tales, charms, spells, recipes and rites
focusing on twenty different trees.
