This review is from: Gardenspells: An Enchanting Collection of Victorian Wisdom (Hardcover)

"GardenSpells" is a whimsically illustrated little tome who's over 30 charms and spells were gleaned from the journals of the author's great-grandmother, a Victorian "wisewoman".

In this book you will find omens as foretold by "garden creatures", and lists of Zodiac or Angel related plants for growing in your magickal garden.
There are also spells which utilize garden plants such as this (abridged) one for an "Ivy Lovespell":

"Ivy, ivy I love you,
"In my bosom I put you.
"The first young man who speaks to me
"My future husband he shall be."

Written in a clear and concise style, with each of it's 88 pages chock-full of magickal spells and charms, this is THE book for the garden witch in all of us.
