Entering Hekate’s Garden | Botanical Witchcraft & Plant Spirit Magic by Cyndi Brannen

Entering Hekate’s Garden brings the ancient practice of pharmakeia—plant spirit witchcraft—into the modern era. Author Cyndi Brannen blends historical knowledge with contemporary magical techniques to offer a profound exploration of botanical witchcraft, Hekatean ritual, and plant spirit devotion.

The book features detailed monographs dedicated to 39 magical plants, ranging from esoteric allies such as aconite and American mandrake to more familiar botanicals like bay laurel, dandelion, fennel, and lavender. Each profile highlights the plant’s energetic nature, correspondences, magical uses, and connections to Hekate’s influence and the Green World.

Brannen combines practical guidance with personal experiences, poetry, rituals, and petitions, creating a deeply immersive journey into plant magic. New frameworks and taxonomies for understanding plant spirits help readers interpret energies, select botanicals for spellwork, and build meaningful relationships with herbal allies.

With its blend of scholarship, ritual, and personal gnosis, Entering Hekate’s Garden offers a transformative look into the mystical world of botanical witchery like no book before it.
