Whispers of Objects and Secrets of Plants – The Roots of Our Stories

By The White Witch | October 19, 2025 | 8 min | Back to Blog

What if an old piece of furniture or a simple dried flower whispered its story to you? At White Witch Publishing, we listen to these echoes of past lives. In this post, we explore how objects and plants become full-fledged characters in our mystical tales.

Objects, Guardians of Memories

In our novels, an ancient mirror is not just a reflection: it is a portal to forgotten memories. Imagine Lazare, our wandering alchemist, discovering in a dusty attic a chest engraved with runic symbols. This chest is not mere decoration; it is the catalyst for a quest, laden with tales of vanished ancestors.

Why objects? Because they anchor the fantastical in the tangible. An inherited necklace, a book with yellowed pages – these relics become confidants, guides, curses. In "The Orphans of the Adventure", a malfunctioning hourglass no longer measures time: it bends it, forcing the heroes to relive fateful choices.

Plants, Living Alchemy

Plants, on the other hand, are the green veins of our worlds. Not mere floral decorations: they breathe, whisper, act. The belladonna in "Secrets of Samhain" is not toxic by chance; it is the guardian of doors between worlds, its poison an initiatory threshold.

In our open esoteric workshops, we explore the magic of plants: lavender to soothe spirits, sage to purify haunted places. These natural allies inspire our authors to weave plots where an herb harvested under the moonlight reveals a family secret.

The Roots of Our Stories

Objects and plants are the roots of our narratives: they bind the past to the present, the visible to the invisible. At the White Witch, every story is an enchanted garden, where a cracked vase tells of a betrayal, a wilted rose of a lost love. These elements do not decorate; they breathe, influence, transform.
