Magical Herbalism: The Secret Craft of the Wise (Llewellyn's Practical Magick Series)

It is so nice to have the old knowledge close by and within easy reach. I love plants of all kinds and love using them for so many things. Do you love magick and the old ways? Get this book and enter a lovely space you can bring into the mundane and make beautiful!

This is the most awesome book in my rather large occult collection. I bought this book in 1989 and I still use it all the time. Scott Cunningham's books are a great source for those interested in Magickal pursuits. This books give you step by step insturctions, list of things you will need to start doing magick (everything from how to set up you altar to what kind of mind-set you need to have), and tons of resources where you can get all your magickal tools. My copy is out-of-date, but hopefully they have updated the lists. It is also beautifully illustrated. The only problem I had was that it is not spiral-bound so it is hard to keep the book open while you are trying out new spells or setting up your altar. If you want a book to start you off, this is it.

This is a really good book, especially for people who are just starting their pursuit of herbalism for magick. It's clear, concise, and informative. Scott Cunningham is a gifted author and I'm sorry that he's gone. (He died in 1993). Definitely worth your money.

This is one of, if not, thee best magical herb book I have. It teaches you how to prepare the herbs, make oils and incenses, making infusions, how to get the herbs and many other useful objects. It teaches you how to make equipment for the type of magic you want ot perform. This is a great book for begining herbalist to herbalist as experienced as Scott was. Get this book it will help you dearly.

Scott Cunningham weaves a spell with Magical Herbalism that is as extraordinary as the man himself. A long-time practitioner of the Metaphysical Arts, Scott's writing makes you feel as if you're talking to a caring and wise friend. He gives a plethora of good, solid information as well as tiny journeys beyond words and into imagination. This book has it all, including a table of correspondences for colors and the hours of the night. Cunningham entertains as he educates, bringing the best in magic to his readers with lightness and joy. Magical Herbalism is no different. Both novice and veteran will find something of interest within its covers with extensive information in an easy-to-read format.
