Book Description

31 Oct 1985 Llewellyn's Sourcebook Series (Book 1)
Do you work magic with herbs? Do you use them in spells, for talismans or simply use their innate powers? If you don't have "Cunningham's Encyclopedia of Magical Herbs, "you need to get it right away. This book has become a classic in its field. Paul Beyerl, a respected author on herbs calls it ..".an essential reference book by students of herbalism and magick alike ... Scott's personable charm touches every page... I highly recommend this book." And Jeanne Rose, famous author of books on herbs and developer of an herbal course says "I love books like this ... It is accessible, easy to read, and with its encompassing index (all too often neglected), simple to use as well." Over 200,000 people already have this book and use it frequently.
In this edition of the book (it's expanded and revised on the 15th anniversary of original publication) you will find the magical properties and folklore of over 400 herbs! You'll also find lists of herbs based on their magical powers, their genders, their planetary rulers, and more. Perhaps the most important list is the folk name cross-reference. With that information, when a recipe calls for "bramble, " you'll know it needs blackberry. Or if the magic calls for "enebro," you'll know you that is juniper.
The main part of this book is the listings of the herbs. Each one includes names, associations, and magical attributions. Violets can be used for protection, luck, love, and more. Primrose is for protection and love. Garlic is for protection, healing, exorcism, lust, and prevention of theft.
This book is considered a classic. It is probably consulted more than any other book on this subject. If you want to learn the secrets of magical herbs, this book is a must!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent 25 May 2001
Format:Paperback
This book is concise and simple. While it doesn't have every possible tidbit concerning each herb, it comes as close as I've seen. I really love this book. The plants are listed alphabetically, there are several crossreference guides in the back, namely; sex, elements, planets, intentions and also a folk name cross reference. There is also an extensive bibliography in the back of the book. Its incredibly handy.

5.0 out of 5 stars chockfull of knowledge 24 May 1999
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
This is the most carefully researched compendium of pagan herbal lore I've ever found. He has everything in here from the botanicals themselves to astrological correspondences to powers attributed to the plants and their parts. And to his credit, he has appendices in this book to cross-reference all of the information contained in the encyclopedic body of the book. His bibliography is also very valuable as he gives astute advice and observations on some of these resources, such as the Golden Bough ("Take with a large grain of salt"). I still refer to this book regularly and I've had it 10 yrs now. Excellent scholarship and of interest whether you are pagan or not, whether you are Wicca or Witch (and thank you, Scott, for giving us the difference between Wiccans and Witches in your glossary). Mr. Cunningham left us a wonderful legacy of practical pagan resources in his books.

5.0 out of 5 stars A very good buy 13 Feb 2003
By joanne
Format:Paperback
when reading books on witchcraft you usually only find a small herb index at the back of the book. So I was well chuffed when I found a whole book on the subject. With it being the only one i had seen so far I had some misgivings about the quality of the work, but these were washed away the second I opend the book and was flooded with coherent information on how to use herbs to their best effect as well as the encyclopedia itself. This book is a must for anyone who plans to use herbs in thier work.
