About the author

Lisa dispels all the common misconceptions about this diverse religion, giving her readers the perfect foundations for taking their first steps on their Wiccan journey.

Unlike other Wicca guides, Lisa's books provide information that's found across many Wiccan traditions, rather than coming from just one person's perspective. In fact, she writes the kinds of books she wishes had been available when she was just starting out in the Craft all those years ago.

When not writing or experimenting with spellwork, Lisa loves to read, play piano, and spend time surrounded by nature.

I love herb magic!

This book had lots of good info in it and easy to follow spells. A great book for beginners or a great refresher.

[Dorian Jandreau · Rating 5 out of 5]

As an old Wiccan I read this book to "refresh my knowledge". This book was very easy to read. It included descriptions of 13 herbs/plants, some spells, some recipes of oils and baths, and some rituals. Half of the book includes history and basic knowledge of spiritual and physical characteristics of plants.

Definitely recomending for all Wiccans, no matter if you are just a beginner or an "old wolf" like me.

This is a starter guide for herbal work. It begins with a small history of herbal use in the past. Then, it provides short discussions on 13 herbs and how they have been used in the past and can be used currently. Next is a discussion on how to create your own magical garden and several tea recipes and spells.

This is a nice little booklet. What I liked about it is that the authour always reminds us that this is just a guide, not a binding instruction; and it definitely has enough information to get you started. What I liked a bit less were a couple of typos and a total absence of any information about the authour, or references to any research by other authours that she might have used for this work.

[Molly · Rating 4 out of 5]

I found this very informative and a good place to start when beginning your practice. I definitely plan on continuing to read Lisa Chamberlain's other books. This was an easy and quick read, and one I was able to finish in one sitting. It keeps the information concise and brief with, what I would assume the most important information concerning the herbs, and it even includes a few rituals and spells at the end that incorporate the herbs mentioned in the book.

I love Lisa Chamberlains series of books. They are simplistic for beginners but give you enough information to start out on your journey. This book was no different! I recommend if you want to start getting into herbs, but want a simple guide to start off with!

Perfect for a baby witch

I have really enjoyed this book. It may not have all the herbs but in the beginning a million different herbs and resins and oils and all the info is just too much. It's a great starter's guide on the basic herbs you should have and wonderful spells to use those herbs. It touches the surface of herbs and that's perfect. I enjoyed it gives its medical and magical properties. I would recommend this to any baby witch.

[Kristi Lloyd · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book may be my favorite from this author to date! It was filled with fascinating information, including facts like rosemary's use during embalming rituals in Ancient Egypt. I always knew that nutmeg is a strong herb, and a little can go a long way. However, I never knew too much of it could cause hallucinations. Great piece of information!

Good

A good introduction for the novice. I enjoy Lisa's style. She is a good place to start when trying to understand Wicca as she explains things simply and emphasizes the fact that there is so much to learn and no one person should be taken as "the expert". Very enlightened.

[Sheona · Rating 3 out of 5]

Great starter book.

I choose this book in order to research and begin to understand Wicca herbal magic. This has helped me to begin my garden and start some simple spells.

[Ahtmos Fear · Rating 5 out of 5]

Although I am not a beginner, this book certainly helped me simplify some ideas. I read it and told my friend about it. I think he purchased his own copy, even after reading mine. I keep it on my virtual bookshelf as one of those books you can refer back to often. I will definitely return to it on occasions when I need inspiration or just want to see what else I can conjure :)

I know the date says that I started this book in 2015. That's the date I purchased and downloaded it. However, I finished reading it a long time ago, but I recently reread majority of it.

Educational

I'm a new gardener so I came to the pros when it comes to herbs. The old ways are the correct ways. This book is very informative and helpful for beginners in gardening. I give it 5 stars!

[Shelia Vaughn · Rating 4 out of 5]

Lots ofo info

Loads of cross magical herb recipes from fresh, dried herbs & meaning to incense, oils, prepared baths so this book is great beginners reference. Did not give a 5 star because I would have liked a wider variety of herbs discussed.

[Igy The Book Hermit · Rating 5 out of 5]

I am not Wiccan, my rating is based on how well the book was for me to understand. I felt that the author did a great job on describing many herbs and how to use them. I was impressed with the fact that the author also gave warning to health risks. I plan to read other books by this author.
