Cunningham’s Encyclopedia of Magical Herbs is a comprehensive guide to the folklore, traditional associations, and magical uses of more than 400 herbs and plants.
Scott Cunningham presents magical herbalism as the practice of working with the traditional properties of plants to encourage positive change. The book includes herbs associated with love, prosperity, protection, healing, psychic development, and many other spiritual purposes.
Rather than focusing only on rare or difficult-to-find ingredients, the book also explores the magical properties of familiar plants and foods such as onions, apples, rice, lettuce, basil, fennel, garlic, parsley, and cloves.
Extensive tables, cross-references, folk names, a glossary, and an annotated bibliography make this an especially useful reference for both beginners and experienced practitioners.
A practical and approachable guide for anyone interested in herbs, plant folklore, and magical herbalism.
