Wonderful resource and guide

This is one of those "keeper" books everyone interested in herbs should have. Every page details the herb giving the reader a closer look at the properties. This one is staying on my shelf!

Really excellent overview

Greer takes mega reams of information from ancient herbals and alchemical manuals- mostly given in antiquated, verbose, difficult to understand formats, when it can be found at all- and simplifies it for those of us who are not Rhodes scholars. Covers only the very basics, and that lightly; but you can't find a better book for beginners or those looking for a refresher. Bonus: not only is the material accurate, it's also fun to read. Enjoy!

Great encyclopedia

This is defenitly a companion to Scott Cunninghams encyclodida of magical herbs. John Michael Greer not only describes the power of herbs he also goes into other things like the elements, precious stons, crystals, and animals. Remember this is just an encyclopedia but its a really good one.

Natural Magic

I thought this was a really good book. It explained a lot of things that I had not understood from previous books that I had read. It tells you how to make certain infusions, candles, among other natural magic spells. It offered really good tables, although they are not complete. He offers an excellent bibliography for you to pursue more info to fill in the gaps that he admits leaving. I got a little lost in the last chapter on alchemy. I felt that he could have explained that a little better (I admit that I don't know very much about it). A very good book on the subject.

Encyclopeadia of magical materials

It's a lovely encyclopeadia that contains archain knowledge of herbs, crystals and other materials atc... Excellent for begginers.
