Encyclopedia of Magical Herbs By Scott Cunningham
Price: $14.95 Celtic Connection Price $13.95 Do you work magic with herbs? Do you use them in spells, for talismans or simply
use their innate powers? If you don't have Cunningham's Encyclopedia of
Magical Herbs, you need to get it right away. This book has become a classic
in its field. Paul Beyerl, a respected author on herbs calls it "...an essential
reference book by students of herbalism and magick alike ... Scott's personable
charm touches every page... I highly recommend this book." And Jeanne Rose,
famous author of books on herbs and developer of an herbal course says "I love
books like this ... It is accessible, easy to read, and with its encompassing
index (all too often neglected), simple to use as well." Over 200,000 people
already have this book and use it frequently. In this edition of the book
(it's expanded and revised on the 15th anniversary of original publication) you
will find the magical properties and folklore of over 400 herbs! You'll also
find lists of herbs based on their magical powers, their genders, their
planetary rulers, and more. Perhaps the most important list is the folk name
cross-reference. With that information, when a recipe calls for "bramble, "
you'll know it needs blackberry. Or if the magic calls for "enebro," you'll know
you that is juniper. The main part of this book is the listings of the herbs.
Each one includes names, associations, and magical attributions. Violets can be
used for protection, luck, love, and more. Primrose is for protection and love.
Garlic is for protection, healing, exorcism, lust, and prevention of
theft. In this book, you will find information on both obscure plants
from distant places, and familiar ones. For example, you will find that the lime
is masculine and related to the sun and the element of fire. It can be used for
healing, love, and protection. The avocado is feminine, associated with Venus
and water and can be used in spells of love, lust, and beauty. Milk thistle is
masculine and associated with Mars and the element of fire. Use it to enrage
snakes. Tansy is feminine, associated with Venus and water, and is used for
health and longevity. One of the difficulties many people have in doing herb
magic is that there are numerous folk names for the same plant. For example, if
you had a spell that called for "bairnwort," would you know that it was simply
calling for daisies? Or did you know that a spell requiring "incense" is
actually calling for frankincense, but a spell asking for "incensier" is asking
for rosemary? Scott gives hundreds of listings of this kind of information in
the cross-referenced folk name index included in this book. You don't have to
go through herb after herb to find one that meets your magical needs. Scott has
included a listing of magical intentions. Simply look up the magical purpose you
desire and you'll find the herbs you can use to enhance your spells or rituals.
Do you need to halt gossip? Try clove or slippery elm. Do you want to use magic
to prevent theft? You can use aspen, caraway, cumin, garlic, juniper or
vetivert. If you do any sort of magic involving herbs, this book is a
requirement for your magical practices. That's why over 200,000 people already
have this book! If you have ever been to an occult shop where they sell herbs,
chances are you will see a dog-eared copy of this book on their shelf, attesting
to the fact that this is one of the most commonly used books for people
practicing natural magic. You should have this book, too.
