Great intro to the magick of herbs, and great reference

Created: 08/07/07
Cunningham does it again! This book is written in a way that's easy to understand, and very practically laid-out. Information is given on each herb in alphabetical order, along with a drawing of it. Information includes: folk name(s), gender, planetary ruler, elemental ruler, powers, magickal uses, and how to use them. Tables at the end include indices organizing the herbs by gender, planetary and elemental rulers, magical intentions, and cross-reference with folk names. I'd reccommend it for anyone starting out in magickal herbology or kitchen witchery, as well as for anyone looking for a quick reference guide that's easy to flip through.

Absolutely ALL You Need in a Herbal Encyclopedia.

Created: 11/06/08
Mr. Cunningham revived herbal magick for the masses, that alone should indicate this book is very useful. Although this book was published in 1985, as an expanded/revised version, it is to this day (in my opinion) the best. It not only includes a fully functional reference of herbs, plants, flowers etc... but also provides its reader with a brief history of basic magick, appendices chockfull of information from a quick reference of herbal uses to essential oil uses and much more! The Herbal Magick (including enchanting herbs, attunement, creating sachets, etc...) are only touched upon briefly in this book, as it is an encyclopedia. If you wish to learn more about the subject of Magickal Herbalism check out: "Magical Herbalism: The Secret Craft of the Wise" also by Scott Cunningham. * Which I have also written a review*

My first herb book... good choice!

Created: 06/09/08
The book lists tons of herbs, most of them with brief descriptions. But that's all you really need when you're first starting out. Some herbs have a page or two. It tells you the herb name, the scientific name, gender, health warnings, folk names (with a cross reference),planet, powers, magical uses, Deities, element, and more. Several tables in the back of the book: masculine herbs, femanine herbs, planetary rulers, elemental rulers, and so on. The front of the book gives you a little background info. Timing, tools, altar, etc. And my favorite section "Spells and Procedures". Most books just give you herb definitions. This book goes one step further to tell you what to do with it! Poppets, incense, oils, bath, ointment... There is a wealth of information in this book. But what do you expect? Its written by Scott Cunningham. Hope this helps!

Look no further for an herb book!! Has PICTURES!!

Created: 21/09/10
I am constantly referring to this book, and it never lets me down. Pictures on the sides of most herb descriptions and uses. Alphabetical order, also arranged by magickal use, and has other common/folk names for the same herb. This book is so great, I wouldn't have minded paying more for it...luckily, it's a great price at full price!

You won't be disappointed!
