Earth’s climate and seasons are at the heart of this book. Magic is tied to the seasons, with each witch’s power coming to full strength during their birth season and diminishing throughout the rest of the year. Spring, summer, autumn, and winter witches have unique types of magic and are able to harness different elements of nature. Climate change, however, is threatening all of that. Erratic weather patterns, such as heat waves in the winter, are necessitating the use of off-season magic, which in turn, is causing those off-season witches to deplete their magic and die. Only Clara, an Everwitch whose magic is not tied to a single season, can fight back against the tolls of climate change, but to do so, she needs the help of not only other witches but also humans. This overarching theme of climate change and messaging around the need for togetherness in finding a way forward are this book’s greatest attributes. They make the story relevant to the present day, bringing our own climate crisis to mind while simultaneously providing us with the hope that we, like the characters in this book, can find a way to work together and prevent further climate degradation.

Review: The Nature of Witches by Rachel Griffin
Climate change is upsetting nature’s balance and threatening witches’ hold on the natural world. Witches are dying of depletion as they attempt to control unseasonal weather with their ill-suited seasonal magic. Only one witch, Clara Densmore, has the power to prevent further death and deterioration of the environment. As an Everwitch, her power is not tied to any given season; she retains her full power throughout the year. Her power, however, comes at a steep cost – her Everwitch magic will seek out and kill anyone whom she loves. It is a curse that has already taken the lives of both of her parents, as well as her best friend. As a result of these losses, she has become wary of her magic and is hesitant to practice using it, but at the behest of her teachers, she agrees to study alongside Sang, a recent graduate and visiting researcher at her school. Clara soon begins to develop feelings for Sang, but she knows that no relationship can ever form between the two of them…unless she is willing to strip herself of her magic. Without her magic, she would no longer be a risk to Sang, but the loss of her power would be a fatal blow to the witches’ fight against climate change. A choice must be made: her happiness or her magic.
It is a gentle reminder to never lose sight of our connection to the earth and to always honor and protect the precious resources it provides. So, if you are a witch who loves nature, this book is a must-read. **Let it be your companion as you embark on a journey of self-discovery and magic**. Let it be a testament to your love and reverence for the earth. The only question left is, are you ready to embrace the rich tapestry of nature's wonders and unlock the limitless potential that lies within?.
Reviews for "The Secret Language of Plants: A Witch's Guide"
- Laura - 2 stars - I was really disappointed with this book. I was expecting a guide or a manual with practical tips on how to connect with nature as a witch, but instead, it felt more like a collection of random facts about different plant and animal species. There were a few spells and rituals scattered throughout the book, but they were so basic and repetitive that I didn't find them helpful at all. Overall, I felt like this book lacked substance and depth, and it didn't provide the guidance I was hoping for.
- Mark - 1 star - I don't know what I was expecting when I bought this book, but it certainly wasn't this. The author seemed more interested in showing off their knowledge about various natural elements than actually providing practical advice for witches who love nature. The content felt scattered and disjointed, with no clear structure or purpose. I barely learned anything new, and the few spells and rituals included were so generic and uninspiring that I didn't bother trying them. Save your money and look for a better book on the subject.
- Sarah - 2 stars - I'm sorry, but this book just didn't resonate with me. The writing style was dry and lacked any kind of emotional connection. I felt like I was reading a scientific textbook instead of a book for nature-loving witches. The information provided was basic and lacked depth, leaving me wanting more substance. The spells and rituals felt like an afterthought and didn't provide any real guidance. I was hoping for a book that would inspire me to deepen my connection with nature, but unfortunately, this wasn't it.
