"""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, including varieties of a genus and their differences. Don't wait to buy this. You need it right now."" --Arin Murphy-Hiscock, author of The Green Witch ""Hunter teaches us to reassess what it means to be magickal and how to see the verdant world in all its potency.

My 106-year-old Great Mama in spirit is smiling on Devin today and you will too!"" --Michelle Welch, author of Spirits Unveiled ""I assumed I didn't have the green touch and should stick to the plastic variety of plants. Houseplant Hortocculture has changed my thinking....This practical guide to growing, tending, and maintaining houseplants for magical purposes is inspiring me to get on my broom and head straight to the greenhouse."" --Theresa Reed, author of The Cards You're Dealt ""An indispensable guide to the often daunting task of growing plants indoors!
