It is here in the waste places, the disturbed soils, and the tall grasses at the edge of things that we find allies that have long been, overlooked and undervalued, if not outright vilified, much as the witch has been. These plants known as "unwanted and dangerous" are all powerfully medical and greatly magical, waiting for us to see them as kin. The Tameless Path sheds light on these under-appreciated allies and makes the introduction between weeds and witches. From the resurrective and divinatory properties of Acacia and the chaotic strength of Ivy to the soothing remedies Velvetweed offers, Kamden Cornell invites you to build a new relationship with the Land itself. A stunning compendium of recipes, rituals, and folkloric and ecological knowledge, this book is the gateway to creating resilient communities between ourselves and our fellow misfits on the fringe, forging a better understanding and healing care for the environments and spirits around us. An apothecarist and wortcunner, Kamden S. Cornell has an avid love for plants of all kinds. A bioregional animist and folk witch, they specialize in using the plants around them for their herbal and magical craft.

As a non-binary, gay, queer, the outsider perspective is important to them and they are deeply drawn to invasive species, which have been much maligned and persecuted. That working relationship spurred the creation of The Tameless Path: Unleashing the Power of Invasive Plants in Witchcraft.
