4.5 stars

Book of magickal herbs and plants - the subtitle tells all. And although my purpose is different (I want to plan and plant a garden is such a way that it magickally protects the house and enhances lives of its inhabitants), which this book did not entirely fulfil, it is informative and covers a lot in its not so large format. It covers some basics of planting, fertilizing etc in section on herb gardening, lists and describes properties of magickal herbs, has a section on plants associated with fairies / elementals, section onn green healing, mind altering plants, dangerous plants, herb omens and supersticions, divinatory herbs and a very useful glossary. I agree with one of previous reviewers that good info is somehow lost in the rest. Good book thou, happy to have it

An Excellent Herbal for Witches!

I HIGHLY recommend this well-written and informative book to all Witches and anyone looking for information on the folklore and magickal application of herbs. The author, a practicing Witch, includes many areas of herbalism that many other books don't (such as mind-expanding plants, herbal poisons, and other such "taboo" subjects) and there is an excellent section devoted to the mandrake, "the most magickal of all plants and herbs." Gardening, healing, and divination are also covered in this modern Witch's book of enchanted herbs and plants, and a helpful glossary of herbalism terms is included at the back of the book.

Highly Informative!

This is by far one of the best herb books written from a Pagan point of view. There is a wealth of information within it and the author (one of my personal favorites) is obviously very knowledgable on the subject of herbalism. I would like to personally thank her for sharing her Wiccan wisdom and wonderful writings with the world. Blessed Be!

A Favorite Resourse

I am an herb enthusiast. I was happy to find the practical and magical applications of both common and not so common herbs in this book. I especially enjoyed the enchanting chapters devoted to fairie lore. I will value this text as I continue to explore the realm of spiritual vegetation. -The humble opinion of a new witch with an old soul.

Informative and enjoyable

I would recommend this book for anyone who has an interest in herbs/flowers/trees and their magical uses. This book is a fabulous guide to the world of nature spirits who can heal and delight us!
