Blackthorn's Book of Sacred Plant Magic
Renowned herbalist Amy Blackthorn invites readers to deepen their spiritual practice by connecting with plant spirits through therapeutic access, subconscious learning, and divination skills. Her latest work, Blackthorn’s Book of Sacred Plant Magic, dives even deeper into the enchanting world of scent, revealing how it influences our experiences, often without our conscious awareness.
In this book, Blackthorn explores how scents evoke powerful memories—like the nostalgic aroma of childhood summers spent with friends, biking and swimming, or the fresh, soapy scent that transports us back to our second-grade teacher. Scents are more than just fleeting moments; they are intertwined with our past experiences, shaping how we perceive the present.
Harnessing the power of scent allows us to infuse the sacred into our everyday lives. Blackthorn’s Book of Sacred Plant Magic serves as a comprehensive guide, blending reference materials, recipes, and ritual journeys. It offers readers a profound understanding of the vital connection between scents and magical practices.

- Connecting with the Spirits of Plants, Places, and People
- Expanding Your Scent Vocabulary: Beyond Just “Floral”
