The Wicca Garden: A Modern Witch's Book of Magickal and Enchanted Herbs and Plants

by Gerina Dunwich

THE WICCA GARDENA Modern Witch’s Book of Magickal and Enchanted Herbs and Plants  Witches were among the first to discover the healing power of plants. The use of potions, poultices, and charm bags filled with special roots, flowers, and magickal herbs has been associated with the healing power of Wicca practitioners from time immemorial. Now modern witches can grow their own fresh herbs and plan and cultivate their gardens in accordance with the Wiccan calendar and astrological charts. This complete study of herbs and their Wiccan significance, as well as a gardener’s guide to growing magickal herbs, includes chapters on Herbs of the Enchanted World; Sabbat Herbs; Mind-Altering Plants; Green Healing; Dangerous Plants; and a guide to herb gardening. A Wiccan Glossary of Herbalism Terms rounds out this comprehesive and essential resource for today’s home Wiccan library.

A great resource for any Wiccan or magick-oriented person looking into the uses for plants and herbs. This book is very precise and consistent, and it provides a good list. It's biggest downside is that there are no pictures of the plants. Still, it contains a very organized reference.

This is my Bible.

Meh.
I really expected more information about gardening. It was more like just a giant list of plants and basic historical magical uses (not even how to use them but just what they were used for). There was a chapter for dangerous plants, a chapter for the mandrake, and a lot of lists of deities and their associated plants. But not like… ideas for your actual garden. It was okay.

A fairly broad overview of many different types of ways plants are used in magical traditions that Wicca draws on, but one that is fairly casual how it references different cultures and the level of detailed information about specific plants varies dramatically.

this book is okay. it is extensive in its information, but set out in a very boring and uninteresting way to read. could have also done with some pictures
