In an attempt to further my experience in using herbs, I purchased "Cunningham's Encyclopedia of Magical Herbs" which led me to purchase "Magical Herbalism: The Secret Craft of the Wise". "Magical Herbalism..." is the perfect beginning to anyone's study of herbs used for magick workings because Cunningham's colloquial language and vigor toward the subject makes it difficult not to approach Magickal Herbalism with the same passion. I finally decided to purchase this particular book on the subject because Scott Cunningham is credited with bringing herbal remedies into a modern magickal world--which is reason enough to buy this book!
The book is a really great example of Scott Cunningham's work. Lots of great information and ideas. I can honestly say i dislike paperbacks.I would so much prefer hardcovers, but most of the books of this like are paperback so i dont hold it against the book. I decided to buy this book for several reasons. The first reason is that buy every book i can get my hands on about herbs or herbalism. Secondly i bought this book because it was by Scott Cunningham. I have several of his books, and i find that each of them was easily worth the money. This book covers everything from the standard tools used by an herbalist to how to cultivate, harvest, and dry herb. And of course there are lots of recipes and concoctions for you to try. They even go as far as giving you a list of standard start up herbs that are used in most recipes. I could go on and on, but all i can say is if you are the least bit interested in herbs or herbalism for any reason, this is a wonderful reference book that is a must in your library.Read full review
