This is a great book to keep around if you work with a lot of herbs like I do. This is a great reference book and one I would not get rid of for the world.

Scott Cunningham a leading name in the Pagan religion authors. This is the foremost Herb book and a staple in all Pagan libraries. Especially Kitchen Witches.

An excellent compendium of herbs and their magical properties. My only complaint would be the lack of information on the herb Henna. While it is mentioned there is very little information about it in the book.

A classic for a reason.
