Synopsis "Plant Lore, Legends & Lyrics"
Along with Fraser's Golden Bough and the studies of Wilhelm Mannhardt, W.R.S. Ralston and Charles Godfrey Leland, Richard Folkard's Plant Lore, Legends & Lyrics ranks among the most important European classics on folklore. First published in 1884 and personally presented by the author to Queen Victoria, it has not been matched since. VAMzzz Publishing presents this carefully revised, illustrated edition, complete with the three special indexes as present in the original version - which are usually missing from later publications, but offer an important extra to the reader. The scope of this detailed study is vast. It ranges from plant symbolism to the World Tree theme to the practical use of herbs in witchcraft for flying ointments and spells. Much of the book deals with the spirits of trees and plants, including various types of fairies, fauns, satyrs, dryads and hamadryads. Sacred plants and ceremonies are described, as well as the symbolism of plants in funeral customs and plants attributed to the Devil and the Black Arts. Tables are included and a special - nearly 200 pages - Plant Encyclopedia fills the second part of the book. This book is a must read whether you are a plant lover, folklorists, herbalist, wiccan or occultist. Preview on vamzzz.com
