Reference List
These are books that we most frequently consult when writing posts and that we find useful in gardening and magical work. If you wish to buy any of these books, please ask your local independent bookstore to order them for you. If you prefer to order books online, rather than supporting the mega-corporations please consider ordering through Bookshop.org (https://bookshop.org), where your purchases support independent bookshops. For a selection of both new and used copies, please visit Powell’s Books (https://www.powells.com), the world’s largest independent bookstore (three stories, occupying an entire city block), where we occasionally go on pilgrimage. These are not affiliate links.
