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.
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
