Witches' Forbidden Herbs: A Practical Guide to Infamous Plants for Magic and Medicine, by the Seed Sistas, is a richly illustrated grimoire exploring some of the most notorious plants in herbal history, including henbane, datura, and belladonna, long associated with witchcraft, poison, and taboo.
The authors make the case for reclaiming these misunderstood "forbidden" herbs as part of contemporary herbal medicine and modern magical practice, covering their history, folklore, and traditional uses alongside guidance for working with them today.
With a foreword by musician Neneh Cherry, the book is presented as a hopeful call to reconnect with plant knowledge that has often been dismissed or suppressed.
