Synopsis

“Guided by fairy folk and Ventura’s own botanical wisdom, this book is an enchanting walk on the path of green magic and folklore.” —Coby Michael, author of The Poison Path Herbal   From fairy tales to your garden, Enchanted Plants is an illustrated treasure trove of the lore and magic in the kingdom of plants.   Take a walk through mystical, magical, and folkloric gardens and discover the plants and flowers that have captured our hearts and minds for centuries. Will you dare to pick a golden apple or seize the perfect rose? Will you sneak through the gilded gates of the poison garden where plants both alluring and life-saving intertwine?  From the baneful bog to the garden gate, plant lover and lover of the bizarre Varla Ventura brings together forgotten lore of plants for the ultimate romp through a botanical wonderland, including excerpts from fairy tales and a lively discussion of each plant’s legendary magical and medicinal properties. Don’t forget your scissors.  Enchanted Plants is arranged by general environment:  cultivated plants and edibles;  toxic plants;  meadowlands;  the woods;  marshes and swamps; and  tropical plants.  Each chapter contains a cultivated selection of plants, arranged alphabetically by popular common name, with additional information including botanical name, common names, folklore, ethnobotanical properties, magical and occult properties, and modern usage if applicable.

    Revelation Space by Alastair Reynolds follows the crew of the Lachrimosa as they investigate a derelict ship and a mysterious structure on a remote planet. Driven by greed, Captain R.r.s.t. seeks to profit from any discoveries, while the others, especially Nidra and Lenka, grapple with their own motivations and loyalties. They encounter a terrifying entity in the cave, forcing them to face their fears and the consequences of their actions. The story delves into themes of self-preservation, cosmic horror, and the cyclical nature of civilizations. It also explores the complex relationship between the crew, particularly the growing bond between Nidra and Lenka, and Nidra’s disillusionment with Rrst. Ultimately, they must decide how to confront the entity and their own destinies.
