Houseplant HortOCCULTure: Green Magic for Indoor Spaces
Description
“Respectful, inclusive, and inspiring. An essential read for green witches looking to fine-tune their interactions with plants usually seen as indoor and ornamental.” Arin Murphy-Hiscock, author of The Green Witch
The title is a pun and not a typo: HortOCCULTure, with the occult sitting inside the horticulture. Worth saying, because half the people who see it assume somebody spelled it wrong.
No plant is ever just a houseplant. Whether you are a green witch or merely horti-curious, you can learn to grow potted plants, connect with their energies and partner with them for magic. Devin Hunter gives practical guidance on substrates, pests, watering and the rest of plant care, and then shows how to fold magic into each step: sigils on your grow lights, energy pushed into the soil, crystals in the watering can.
From begonias to bromeliads, the book covers easy to grow, easy to find plants and their occult correspondences. Astral travel with English ivy, cutting through obstacles with mother-in-law's tongue, manifesting with pothos. Foreword by Juliet Diaz, illustrations by Siolo Thompson.
Why We Carry It
The practical horticulture is real horticulture. Most green witchcraft books assume the plant survives; this one tells you about substrate and pests first, then gives you something to do with a plant that is actually alive.
Who It Is For
Anybody with a windowsill and a graveyard of dead pothos.
