Herbarium is the lovechild of folklorist Fez Inkwright's love for botanical mythology and the TTRPG community. Not only does it introduce foraging mechanics and over 60 real-life plants for the nature-minded DM and player, but it also includes a guide on creating your own fictional plants with their own 5e mechanics; thematic adventure hooks and encounters; folklore-inspired new subclasses and character backgrounds; monstrous creatures from the dark side of traditional folk horror; over 100 craftable potions, items, and poisons; and more.

Whether you're a DM or a player, if you've got green fingers or a love for the dark and magically twisted, Herbarium is full of content for you!

All projects start off small, but we dream big. Herbarium, at its base funding goal, will feature over 100 pages of content, including a foraging system; tools on how to create your own fictional plants; real-life plants and their legends and magical properties; adventure seeds with custom-written stories to weave into your campaigns; new subclasses and Warlock patrons; character backgrounds, to embrace a world of growing plants, bottling potions, and making magical charms; NPCs with quests and side-stories; creatures inspired by folkloric spirits and deities; unique craftable items (and some less craftable, but more legendary items); and much more!

Every plant in this book exists in our real world, and each encounter and property has been inspired by real-life mythology and folklore. Each potion is inspired by practical uses, each item influenced by local witchcraft, and each creature an existing spook or spectre from the rural depths of the world.

The plants of Herbarium play a pivotal role in the book. Each section includes the plant's rarity, the type of environment you'll find it in, its related items, a description, and in some cases an Adventure Seed (see what we did there?) to further indulge your players. The magical abilities of these plants are fully inspired by their depiction in folk tales, and rewritten for 5e mechanics. You'll even find sections elaborating on seasonal changes, biomes and climates, and how to present the natural world to your players.

Each item is inspired by the plant that it's connected to. Some of them are even real, historical items that were believed to have magical properties - and now in your campaign they actually do! The items come in several categories; components, craftable items, craftable potions, craftable poisons (who doesn't love a good poisoning), and legendary items - which come with their full stories attached, ready for incorporating into your campaign.

Herbarium doesn't just embrace individual plants, but also the rich, scattered lands that they grow in. From stormy scrublands to tropical forests and blighted coasts, these wild lands come with their own hosts of spirits, deities, and wicked monsters... and we can't wait to introduce you to them.

From the mischievous Germanic Feldgeister, to the horrific (and summonable) Lieschi, all stunningly illustrated by our talented artists, the creatures of Herbarium have been written with player-challenging 5e mechanics inspired by their real-life origins.

Discover the Filipino guardian spirit Tikbalang, Corsican Mazzeri dream-hunters, the Germanic Nachtkrapp, the Amazonian Patasola, and more - all rewritten to fit into a Forgotten Realms or homebrew setting.

Herbarium is about providing new narrative options for players as much as it is for the DM. And with a ton of new crafting options, items, and creatures out there, we couldn't forget about the player characters! At its base funding goal, Herbarium features four new subclasses (the 'Deep Roots' Sorcerous Origin; the 'Poisoner' Rogue; and two new Warlock Patrons, the Flower Bride and the Winter Queen), and three character backgrounds - the Forager, the Wise One, and the Apothecary.

Book Review: Folk Magic and Healing, An Unusual History of Everyday Plants

This is: Folk Magic and Healing : An Unusual History of Everyday Plants by: Fez Inkwright! Rating: 8/10 Pros: ILLUSTRATIONS!!! I can't begin to say how stunning this book really is. It's clearly zeroed in on UK plantlife, but the sheer amount of folklore and old 'healing' usages mentioned in this book is well worth grabbing it up! It begins with a great breakdown of plantlife and how they were crucial to people before common medicine was the way of the world. Cons: Hm, I'd say the references used might be a bit of a con, the author does include references and sources however I feel for the sheer amount of information in this book it doesn't have nearly as wide a variety of sources cited. But considering the author's a folklorist in her own right I'm mildly okay with that. I also didn't go into this book expecting most of it to be encyclopedia like, but I'm also okay with that! Buy? If you're interested in Britain's usage of herbalism and how it ties into their naming and folk tales? Do so! As someone who's interested in herbalism as a whole and folklore as a whole it was a refreshing read! A lot of those plants have been transferred over to the US so it's helpful here but maybe not as much as some others.

Snape Preference ~ Books He Recommends

Severus Snape Masterlist

Context You ask him for something good to read and he gives you a pile of books he thinks you'll enjoy. (This is excluding the obvious amount of potions and herbology books he probably has)

The Secret History by Donna Harett Under the influence of a charismatic classics professor, a group of clever, eccentric misfits at a New England college discover a way of thought and life a world away from their banal contemporaries. But their search for the transcendent leads them down a dangerous path, beyond human constructs of morality.

The Resurrectionist: The Lost Work of Dr. Spencer Black by E. B. Hudspeth

Philadelphia, the late 1870s. A city of gas lamps, cobblestone streets, and horse-drawn carriages—and home to the controversial surgeon Dr. Spencer Black. The son of a grave robber, young Dr. Black studies at Philadelphia's esteemed Academy of Medicine, where he develops an unconventional hypothesis: that the mythological beasts of legend and lore—including mermaids, minotaurs, and satyrs—were in fact humanity's evolutionary ancestors. And beyond that, he wonders: what if there was a way for humanity to reach the fuller potential these ancestors implied?

Masters Of Death by Olivie Blake

There is a game that the immortals play. There is only one rule: Don't lose.

The Maidens by Alex Michalides Edward Fosca is a murderer. Of this Mariana is certain. But Fosca is untouchable. A handsome and charismatic Greek tragedy professor at Cambridge University, Fosca is adored by staff and students alike—particularly by the members of a secret society of female students known as The Maidens.

What Moves The Dead by T. Kingfisher When Alex Easton, a retired soldier, receives word that their childhood friend Madeline Usher is dying, they race to the ancestral home of the Ushers in the remote countryside of Ruritania.

What they find there is a nightmare of fungal growths and possessed wildlife, surrounding a dark, pulsing lake. Madeline sleepwalks and speaks in strange voices at night, and her brother Roderick is consumed with a mysterious malady of the nerves.

Murder Your Employer by Rupert Holmes Who hasn't wondered for a split second what the world would be like if a person who is the object of your affliction ceased to exist? But then you've probably never heard of The McMasters Conservatory, dedicated to the consummate execution of the homicidal arts. To gain admission, a student must have an ethical reason for erasing someone who deeply deserves a fate no worse (nor better) than death. The campus of this "Poison Ivy League" college—its location unknown to even those who study there—is where you might find yourself the practice target of a classmate...and where one's mandatory graduation thesis is getting away with the perfect murder of someone whose death will make the world a much better place to live.

Botanical Curses & Poisons: The Shadow-Lives of Plants By Liz Inkwright In both history and fiction, some of the most dramatic, notorious deaths have been through poisonings. Concealed and deliberate, it's a crime that requires advance planning and that for many centuries could go virtually undetected. And yet there is a fine line between healing and killing: the difference lies only in the dosage! In Botanical Curses and Poisons, Fez Inkwright returns to folkloric and historical archives to reveal the fascinating, untold stories behind a variety of lethal plants, witching herbs, and fungi. 

Dracula by Bram Stoker Irish author Bram Stoker introduced the character of Count Dracula and provided the basis of modern vampire fiction in his 1897 novel entitled Dracula. Written as a series of letters, newspaper clippings, diary entries, and ships' logs, the story begins with lawyer Jonathan Harker journeying to meet Dracula at his remote castle to complete a real estate transaction. Harker soon discovers that he is being held prisoner, and that Dracula has a rather disquieting nocturnal life. Touching on themes such as Victorian culture, immigration, and colonialism, among others, this timeless classic is sure to keep readers on the edge of their seats! Now available as part of the Word Cloud Classics series, Dracula is a must-have addition to the libraries of all classic literature lovers.

A Deadly Education by Naomi Novik I decided that Orion Lake needed to die after the second time he saved my life.

Everyone loves Orion Lake. Everyone else, that is. Far as I'm concerned, he can keep his flashy combat magic to himself. I'm not joining his pack of adoring fans. I don't need help surviving the Scholomance, even if they do. Forget the hordes of monsters and cursed artifacts, I'm probably the most dangerous thing in the place. Just give me a chance and I'll level mountains and kill untold millions, make myself the dark queen of the world.

Hope you enjoyed this quick idea I had. Also, all of these books are amazing and I 100% recommend all of them!

It was supposed by the Celts [(which Celts??)] that the Spirits who lived in Willow Trees had the ability to grant wishes. A person merely had to ask permission of the willow and, whilst tying a loose knot in one of the shoots, speak their wish. When the wish is fulfilled, the same person should return and untie the knot. It was also advised, however, not to speak any secrets near a willow or it would be repeated to someone else.

Willows have ties to music both in Irish culture (where Harps are typically made from Willow wood, which is believed to inspire uncontrollable dancing) - and in Jewish culture (where Psalms 137 states that captive Jewish Harpists hanging their harps on the Willows along the River Babylon created the Weeping Willow).

In Yorkshire, England, it plays a role in marriage divination on Easter and New Years, when young women would throw their shoes into the branches, hoping to get them to stick within 9 attempts (symbolizing they shall be married that year)- and they can symbolize spurned or lost love, too, as in the same region any young man who was rejected wore a wreath of willow as a symbol of their lost love. 

In Asia, however, it’s symbolic of the dead- being used in China to sweep the tombs and to ward off the Spirits of the Dead during the festival of Qingming; in Japan, Willows are associated with areas where Ghosts are commonly believed to appear.

Medicinally Willow is best known for its painkilling properties due to the prevalence of Salicin in its bark- typically used to make Aspirin. Boiled in a tea, it can produce similar effects, as well as being a remedy for rheumatism and fevers.

Folklore & The History of Plants🌱

Green Witchcraft & Plant Magic:

Green witchcraft and plant magic are two huge topics in the witchcraft community. If utilizing plants is not one of your interests then you may hard pressed to find information that doesn't directly involve plants in some way, shape or form. Green witchcraft was actually one of the first forms of magic I ever did research on and although I don't practice green witchcraft, I depend on plants for a lot of different things in my practice.

According to Arin Murphy-Hiscock (from her book The Green Witch), "a green witch is someone who lives the green path and is aware of how the energy of nature flows through her life and environment...". The most fundamental part of green witchcraft is "the individual's interaction with his or her natural environment". Green witches focus primarily on nature and utilize plant magic in their practice. Plant magic is not reserved for those that walk the green path, anyone who practices can do plant magic. Physical magic (ie. magic with ingredients) uses plants as main components in spell work. Some people grow a plant from seed before incorporating it into their workings. By growing a plant yourself, you are adding your own energy to it. This makes your personal connection to the plant much stronger than someone who bought it already dried (both are valid but if you have the time then give it a try).

Animism & Witchcraft:

Animism is defined as "the attribution of a soul to plants, inanimate objects, and natural phenomena" (source: google). Many cultures/religions believe in animism, including indigenous cultures. The belief that plants posses a spirit and that one can work with that spirit is also common amongst many practitioners as well. Many green witches will become animists throughout their journey and will form close bonds with the spirits of specific plants. For example, I know of a witch who cannot kill basil, even if she forgets to water it, it always stays healthy and it is because basil is one of her spirit allies. It is up to you if you choose to take up this belief and not everyone will feel called to but it is often the case that witches are animists.

The Historical Uses of Plants:

Folklore and superstition can be incorporated into witchcraft just as easily as magical correspondences. Even if an association no longer holds true today, the association can still be used. For example, historically apples have been associated with death but now their magical uses include love, immortality, friendship and healing. Both sets of correspondences can still be used today in witchcraft and spell work. One of my favourite examples of the historical uses of plants is the Victorian language of flowers. People, especially girls, used to communicate how they felt (to boys and friends) using flowers. Many of those associations can be incorporated into spells or can be the spell itself. For example, if you are doing a money spell, then you would grow a buttercup because it stands for wealth.

Incorporating a plant's historical uses into your practice can take a bit of research and will vary depending on the region and culture but they can make for very powerful associations. I have included some sources below if you are interested in looking more into plant folklore. However, I recommend picking up a field guide and identifying some of the local plants in your area and then researching into their historical and medicinal uses. You may be surprised how many plants in your neighbourhood can be used in your practice and what you can learn from them. Check out my post on foraging for more information.
