Múdre ženy, ľudoví liečitelia, čarodejnice, bylinkári – akokoľvek ich nazvete, už tisíce rokov pestujú rastliny pre ich bájne mystické a liečivé účinky.Kniha Magické rastliny približuje viac ako päťdesiat najmocnejších magických rastlín na svete a ich použitie, tak mýtické, ako aj dokázané. Dejiny týchto ezoterických druhov od vrieskajúcej mandragory po upokojujúci ľubovník sú často rovnako temné a neuchopiteľné ako samotné umenie bylinkárstva. V knihe nechýbajú príbehy, ako si pomôcť pri všetkom možnom od nepriaznivého počasia či zlomeného srdca až po to, ako sa chrániť pred zlom a privolať si nesmrteľnosť. Text dopĺňajú nádherné botanické ilustrácie, fascinujúce exempláre z archívov botanickej záhrady Royal Botanic Gardens v Kew a archívne vyobrazenia okultistických praktík, ktoré oživujú mágiu týchto tajomných rastlín.
