Leechcraft by David Ward

Leechcraft is a sharing of wisdom and healing, dreams and desires, rooted in myth and ancient folklore. Transformations and dark murmurings, warnings and incantations, rough-woven charms and travellers' tales - an intoxicating brew to be spoken, chanted, whispered and sung. These are poems that will stay with you - gather them carefully and guard them safe as potent spells.
