Taimnejalg (translated as "Plantfoot" or "Herbfoot") is the first English-language compendium devoted entirely to the rich tapestry of Estonian folklore, witchcraft, and magical practices. Drawing on archival research, hands-on fieldwork, and centuries of oral lore, it gathers together a living body of knowledge that has long remained fragmented and difficult to access. It serves simultaneously as a practical companion for the modern practitioner and a respectful homage to Estonia's ancestral traditions.
Through nature worship, herb craft, spirit communication, magical spells, and seasonal rites, this book invites you into a world where the mundane and the magical are inseparable. It offers a critical overview of Estonian folk magical traditions along with a practical, hands-on grimoire of magical work and examines how these practices have evolved, adapted, and survived throughout the last several hundred years.
