Plant Allies
By:
Post # 1

Hi.

I was wondering if anyone here has any resources on working with plants as allies? I mean not in Carlos Castaneda way, but in the way of working with the energy of plants, like one would work with a guide?

I am wondering if there are books written on this subject.

All I currently have available is the way in which I work with plants and herbs already, learning to identify them, their uses and lore.

All help appreciated.

Off-hand I don't, but if you're looking for insight from the spirit of the plants, then it might be something found with animism or similar, whether you'd approach the spirit of that specific plant or leaf of the plant, or a general spirit of the type of plant if that makes any sense.

In a way, I'd imagine the spirit associated with a plant would embody the metaphysical qualities of that plant with its personality and actions.

Thank you.

Regards animism I'll have to look into a few more paths. However I do not want to stray too far from general folk magic. Essentially despite having a little MiqMak in heritage, I do not want to misinform anyone in my practice, I suppose. A lot of original practice of such things has not been written, and I've no one to educate and set straight some of those practices.

From personal experience working with plants it has been interesting, I find there are some herbs I am very fond of, and I find it difficult to explain that fondness at times, in terms other than the plant's medicinal values or associations of lore, properties, so this makes sense to me.

Thank you very much for your response.
