The Nine Plants Spell: Nigon Wyrta Galdor

Animistic and hypnotic, Nigon Wyrta Galdor—the Nine Herbs Charm—is an Old English healing galdor (OE healing chant) that invokes nine personified plants. Joseph S. Hopkins’s new translation of this work offers a rare glimpse into a lost time, filled with mysticism and life.

Introduced by Danielle Cudmore, it features illustrations by Rim Baudey and Anneke Wilder.
