"I am so excited to see Devin share his vast knowledge of the energy and magic of houseplants. His experience working with plants that tend to hail from different areas of the world is respectful, inclusive, and inspiring. This is an essential read for green witches looking to fine-tune their interactions with plants usually seen as indoor and ornamental, from caring for them magically to exploring the lessons the growth cycle and botanical names can teach us. His extensive section on houseplant energies, care, and suggested correspondences is rich....Don't wait to buy this. You need it right now."
—Arin Murphy-Hiscock, author of The Green Witch
"Devin's unique approach to green witchery is the houseplant bible every witch didn't know they needed. The marriage of occultism and houseplants would've been brilliant as is, but Devin went so much deeper, developing a rich and rewarding practice that has completely shifted the way I care for the plants in my own home."
—Lorriane Anderson, best-selling author of The Witch's Apothecary and Seasons of the Witch oracle decks
