Trillium or wake robin was once used to infuse into the handles of a Y shaped stick for the purpose of creating a wand for finding treasure.
This plant is one of my personal favorites and synchronicity has it that as a child my grandmother who's association with the plant was christ and the holy trinity would give us a dime for every one we found (not picked). For us as children the finding of Wake Robin was itself a treasure and today the memories of such a treasures themselves.
What family plant traditions do you keep?

One of the most amazing texts on western plant mag

One of the most amazing texts on western plant magic, the Grimoire sympathia. We have attempted to get this book in broader publication with various publishers but sadly it hasn't been possible. The grimoire sympathia is an extremely important book covering the subject of working with plants by magical means as spirits themselves. An animism combined with western esoteric methodologies and philosophy from the late 1800s.
The western occultism and esotericism is so frequently portrayed as evil and frightening in the media and in popular fiction. Movies and TV shows popularly portray it this way, in the fun house mirror that the church and society has viewed it for centuries. This view point has caused many people seeking wisdom in the west to seek it outside of their own cultural history, culturally strip mining the Amazon jungle in ayahuasca tourism when the relationships they seek to forge with plant spirits were written about by an old welshman in the late 1800s.
The book is obscure and it seems some wish to keep it that way, but it is available online and can be found with a simple google search.
An excellent introduction to the non frightening and unspooky world of western esotericism.
