Advance Praise
“An eye-opening look into the world of ‘invasive plants,’ The Tameless Path brings much needed focus on plants that are typically regarded as unwanted and noxious “weeds.” Cornell takes the time to get to know each of these resilient, powerful and healing allies on an individual basis sharing a trove of information regarding each plant’s medicinal and magical properties. Incorporating green witchcraft, alchemy, and plant spirit work, this book provides the reader with tools for working with these plants—providing medicinal, culinary and occult formulas instilling in the reader that no plant is “bad” or “harmful” and that even the forgotten plants of the wayside have their own unique magic to share with us.”
-----Coby Michael, author of The Poison Path
“The Tameless Path by Kamden Cornell is a heartfelt and intentional approach to magical herbalism when encountering invasive plants. This book is a great resource for those who are interested in invasive plants for food, medicine and magic. I really enjoyed the unique recipes,they were given with detailed instructions for use. The author focuses on not only magical applications, but wild foraging recipes for food and also helpful recommendations for medicinal purposes.
There is a significant section on astrological and planetary magic that is somewhat surprising,but adds to the plant work in some respects. The medicine making section is simple and easy to follow, setting the stage for working with the plants. Though not all plants may be in one’s bioregion, the ideas and the approach to the applications, along with some of the ingredients, can be inspiration for other magical methods.
All in all, this is a unique book that is sure to bring practical help when ‘getting ones hands dirty’, which is such an important aspect of working with plants. For the harvesting, the processing and the utilizing of herbs and trees help us to remember the old ways in our day today lives.”
