Cunningham's Encyclopedia of Magical Herbs
by Scott Cunningham, John Goodier (Illustrator)
This Encyclopedia belongs on the bookshelf of anyone with an interest in Paganism, magic, or symbolism. Cunningham catalogs a huge selection of herbs, showing planetary correspondences,
folklore, magical uses, and mythological references. A priceless book that is on my bookshelf!
Earth Magic : A Wisewoman's Guide to Herbal, Astrological and Other Folk Wisdom
by Claire Nahmad
Both charming and colloquial, Earth Magic reads like a recipe book of a 17th or 18th century witch or wisewoman. This is both a virtue and a stumbling-block. While the volume is crammed full of spells, instructions, charts, and folklore, it is difficult to read in large doses. The material conforms to no particular tradition or belief system, except perhaps that of Elizabethan hearthwitches, stillroom keepers, and herb grannies. Angelic and astrological correspondences rub shoulders with goddess lore, and references to both the Goddess and Jesus Christ are common.
The Green Witch Herbal : Restoring Nature's Magic in Home, Health & Beauty Care
by Barbara Griggs
Barbara Griggs has done a fantastic job with this book: an herbal primer for home use. It has four main sections (herbs in the home, in the kitchen, beauty care, and health concern remedies). The book does a great job introducing the reader to different herbs and their effects.
