Flowers have been part of magic traditions around the world, from ancient Egypt, China, and India to the traditions of the Norse and Native Americans.

Hughes discusses the most suitable flowers and forms of flower magic for specific enchantments and rituals related to love and sex magic, well-being and good fortune, and protection.

The book covers the magical use of fresh flowers and provides detailed instructions for every stage of the harvesting, crafting, and practical use of flower magic potions. It also includes a comprehensive herbarium of all the flowers that may be used.

Examining the complex relationship between flowers and bees, the author explores the physical and spiritual gifts of bees, such as honey, propolis, and beeswax. He highlights the importance of bee culture in Druidic flower magic, covering traditions like the honeymoon, the significance of the hexagon, and medieval beekeeper lore.

Inviting you into the gentle yet powerful realm of Druidic flower magic, Jon G. Hughes also details how to plan, plant, and care for your own magical flower garden with all the botanicals you will need to pursue the path of flower magic.
