Review: Cunningham's Encyclopedia of Magical Herbs

Cunningham's Encyclopedia of Magical Herbs by Scott Cunningham
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have found myself creating a special shelf for books like this one, ones that I am always picking up, reading bits, using for research AMD so forth. When ever you see witchcraft books looking at magical herbalism, this one will be found near the top of the authors bibliography.

Scott started off writing a small book on magical herbalism and he ended up with so much information he had to write a bigger book! Scott had taken great pains to research and read everything he could find on her lore and how our ancestors used them for such things as protection and healing. He managed to gain access to some ancient manuscript's and dusty old books. And all that hard work was well worth it.

If you are wanting, as a witch or even a pagan, and you want to create pouches, incense etc, then this book is a big big must. Not only does it tell you about the herbs, but also whether or not it is poisonous my ingesting, inhaling etc

But if you do decide to purchase this book, make sure it is a recent addition as the medical/poisonous information has been updated in the last 10 years or so!

Review: The Folklore of Plants

The Folklore of Plants by Margaret Baker
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is a wonderful book filled to the brim with folklore, much of which corresponds with witchcraft's own plant correspondences.

It looks at how various plants were used as recently as the 1960s in areas where such lore's still prevailed. It looks at how plants were used in healing, finding your true love and protecting the home.

This is a must for any which whose interested in such things and wishes to make good use of such valuable information
