In Blood and Blackberry Thorns, the veil between sweetness and suffering tears open. Drawing from authentic hedge magick and haunted English folklore, Matthew Petchinsky invites readers into a living labyrinth of thorns, bramble spirits, and rituals that whisper beneath moonlight. Within these pages, blackberries become vessels of both curse and cure-their juice used to bind, protect, and summon.
Part horror, part grimoire, this book teaches the forbidden craft of the bramble: creating living sigils, summoning hedge guardians, and weaving bloodless offerings that awaken ancient powers. Each chapter bleeds with ritual instructions, folklore, and atmosphere so vivid it feels alive beneath your fingertips.
Perfect for practitioners of real magick, gothic mystics, and seekers of autumnal ritual, Blood and Blackberry Thorns is not fiction-it is a working text, a spellbook that breathes. Once read, the bramble remembers you.
