In All the Way, Willow uses Lethe’s Bramble to perform a forgetting spell on Tara (and herself and her friends, by accident, in Tabula Rasa). Tara discovered what Willow had done in Once More, With Feeling when she researched Lethe’s Bramble in a book at the Magic Box. It said: “Lethe’s Bramble: Used for augmenting spells of forgetting and mind control”. |

Interesting side note - Lethe is the “River of Forgetfulness in Hades’s plane.” It is said that to drink of the water means to forget everything. I can’t yet find any references to an actual plant called “Lethe’s Bramble” even in my Wicca books, however.

in joss whedon’s commetary, he mentioned that “lethe’s bramble” was created, based on something in “Hamlet” and what “SourGirl1986″ said. It’s not found in any book because it isn’t a real plant. where does one get Wicca books?

Most book stores carry a (vastly expanding) selection of pagan and wicca books, as well as many on the workings of magicks. I usually go to Barnes and Noble.

They actually have “Wicca for Idiots” books!

There is something a humerously alarming (within a Buffyverse context) about someone self-described as an “idiot” studying Wicca. Any number of calamities prefaced by the word “Oops!” spring to mind.
