Plant Witchery: Discover the Sacred Language, Wisdom, and Magic of 200 Plants

Juliet Diaz

Now in paperback! Following the category-dominating success of Witchery, indigenous medicine woman and seer Juliet Diaz initiates readers following the current witchy trends of herbal medicine and magic into a deeper, wilder connection with the ancient healing power of over 200 plants.
All it will take is for you to slow down and pay attention to the world around you and, I promise, you will find the world within you.

Indigenous seer, gifted plant whisperer, and Witchery author Juliet Diaz invites you to walk the path of the Plant Witch. Journey far beyond the basic medicinal and magical properties of plants, deep into Mother Earth's drumming heart. Drawn from ancestral practices passed down by generations of teachers, the lessons in this book will awaken your intimate connection with nature, your ancestors, your guides, and to your true self through the powerful magic of plants.

Within these pages, you will learn:

• Essential, magical, and medicinal properties of 200 herbs, flowers, trees, and fruits.
• Rituals for abundance, cleansing, and connecting with spirits.
• Spells to ward against evil, find answers, and protect against self-sabotage.
• Potions to open your third eye, bring luck, and promote creativity.
• Communication techniques for speaking and listening to plants.
• The optimal moon phases and seasons to work with different plants.

Even as humans forget our place in nature's rhythm and cause harm to our Earth Mother, the spirits of plants still call out to us, appear in our dreams, and inspire us as they push through cracks in cement—resilient and determined to thrive. From abre camino and acacia to yucca and ZZ plant, each has a unique personality and wisdom to share if we are only willing to listen.

Nothing beats the post-market euphoria of a successful pop-up weekend.
This weekend I popped up at Magic Market in LA for the first time. A cool witchy event held at Heritage Square Museum. Amongst the wonderfully preserved Victorian homes, a small town center is erected selling food, art, vintage finds, and magic.
I had heard about the event previously, but hadn't been able to attend much less participate as a vendor. The nervous anticipation of the last month was all worth it in the end because I had an amazing weekend.
From a business perspective, it was a profitable weekend. From a book lover's perspective, it was one of the best weekends I've ever had. Easily in my top 2 moments since opening my business last June.
I met so many smart and fun book lovers. I had never attended an event where I spent just as much time learning about the books I sell as I did educating readers. A testament, I suppose, to really finding my coven of like-minded readers.
I was so happy to see everyone enjoying what I had to offer.

Here's what the best sellers were for the weekend:

• Hekate: The Witch by Nikita Gill
  A poetic reimagining of the goddess Hekate, this collection explores feminine power, transformation, and the sacred darkness within. Gill blends myth with modern womanhood, inviting readers to reclaim their inner witch and walk unapologetically in their truth.

• We Do This 'Til We Free Us by Mariame Kaba
  This powerful collection of essays centers abolition, collective care, and the ongoing work of building a more just world. Kaba challenges readers to rethink harm, accountability, and what true safety could look like beyond systems of punishment.

• Woman Who Glows in the Dark by Elena Avila
  Part memoir, part spiritual guide, this book follows Avila’s journey into curanderismo, a traditional Mexican healing practice. It’s a deeply personal exploration of intuition, ancestral wisdom, and reclaiming spiritual identity.

• Witchery: Embrace the Witch Within by Juliet Diaz
  A modern guide to living a magickal life, Witchery blends practical rituals with empowering reflections on intuition, self-trust, and personal power. Diaz encourages readers to see witchcraft as a way of being—rooted in authenticity and connection.

Honorable Mentions:

• Wordslut by Amanda Montell
  A sharp, witty deep dive into how language shapes gender and power, Wordslut unpacks the biases baked into the words we use every day. Montell blends research and humor to challenge the status quo and reimagine more inclusive language.

• Legendborn by Tracey Deonn
  After the death of her mother, Bree Matthews uncovers a secret society tied to King Arthur’s legacy—and realizes she may be more connected to it than she ever imagined. This richly layered fantasy explores grief, identity, and the hidden magic woven into history.

That last one might have been mostly due to my own enthusiasm since after a year of recommending the book I finally started reading it myself. Spoiler alert: It's amazing and I'm definitely hooked. I might even be rushing to finish this post so I can read another chapter before it's daycare pick-up time.
