Summary: If there is one book to have on herbalism...
Comment: If there is one book to have on herbalism, this is the book to have. Not only is the book one that is destined to stay off your shelf and on your altar, but it is the absolute best herbal reference out there. Scott Cunningham does a beautiful job with popular and folk lore on hundreds of herbs, going past "traditional" one or two word associations and really getting into herbal lore within his descriptions. The herbal cross reference toward the end is extremely useful for anyone who is using spells and recipies from outer sources... you never realise how many folk names exist for a single herb! The book is well organized, in depth, and easy to follow. A MUST HAVE for any aspiring herbalist.

Summary: The MAGICK of Herbs
Comment: AS with everything, whhen Cunningham wrote, he always put magick into the work. Everything of his I read gives me a sense of the magick in the topic, and also his care and love for (the) magick. This book is no exception. Cunningham details in an easy-to-read (but not overly-simplistic) way, the magickal and mundane uses for every herb (and also common things like grapes and cactii, etc). He give the folk-names, both with the herbs and in a table in the back. He gives tables and tables of correspodence charts. And with most of the herbs he gives a picture of the plant, so that if you decide to gather it on your own (or are simply curious or whathaveyou,) then you have a good reference. And he even includes a bibliography in the back of the book which shows where he got some/all of his information, which adds even more integrity to the work. In all, this is a perfect reference for anyone interested in Wicca/Witchcraft/magick/whatever. It is simple enough for a beginner to use and understand, and detailed enough for the advanced practitioner. I heartily recommend this book!

Summary: A Must Have For Your "Magic Kitchen"
Comment: I use this book for labeling my jars of herbs. I find the definitions, comparable names, history, legend, all facts stories pertaining to each herb to be interesting, informative and fun to read. This book really helped me get started in herb collection and storage. You don't have to be into wicca to appreciate and enjoy this book. There is plenty of information for anyone interested in herbalism, magic or otherwise. Also, before you begin creating tea recipes or brews, it is recommended to read a book of this nature before you begin. There are references for safety and physcial conditions which are essential to know before ingesting or combining herb mixtures. It is always good to have at least a few reference books and this is definitely one of them.
