A guide to plant spirit ritual and witchcraft, with practical instruction on the use of botanicals especially associated with the beloved goddess Hekate and her daughters Circe and Medea.



Bringing pharmakeia (the practice of plant spirit witchcraft) into contemporary times, Entering Hekate's Garden merges historical knowledge with modern techniques. In it, author Cyndi Brannen offers her extensive insight into Hekatean ritual and witchcraft and especially its application to the Green World. The book features detailed monographs dedicated to 39 plants ranging from the esoteric such as aconite, American mandrake, and damiana to the accessible including bay laurel, dandelion, fennel, garlic, juniper, and lavender.



This book blends traditional methods with the author's personal approach, emphasizing her understanding of plant spirits as allies in the witch's journey. It includes a new taxonomy for interpreting plant energies, methods for creating new correspondences, the importance of layering, using botanicals in spells, rituals, altars, and more, as well as ways to develop meaningful relationships with the pharmakoi (master plant spirits). Poetry, petitions, and musings about pharmakeia are woven throughout. Entering Hekate's Garden takes listeners deep into the mystical world of botanical witchery in a way no other book has before.

This is a tough one to review. I really wanted to like this book. But well, I didn't, not really. I'll try to keep it nice and short.

There are some nice ideas, spells and recipes. The "magickal" parts are nice and sometimes inspiring. But more often than not I do not resonate with Cyndi Brannens approach on the topics mentioned/discussed.

The historical and medical parts aren't well researched and this is one of my personal pet peeves. There is lots of misinformation. This could have been done better.
I would only recommand this book if you're willing to double check the information on the plants with other (more trustworthy) sources.

If you're interessted in Hekate, there are better books on her out there. For example the books by Sorita d'Este, Courtney Weber or Tara Sanchez.
If you're interessted in healing with plants, well I would recommand books with a more scientific approach.

A word on the narrator: Leslie Howard has a likeable voice, but I don't like her melodramatic tone. It's to much.

Not my cup of tea
