The Wicca Herbal: A Guide to Healing Body and Spirit with Magickal Herbs

"The Wicca Herbal is an informative guide to useful herbs. Exploring the qualities and uses of these herbs, it provides information on how to grow them successfully and how to use them in cooking, healing, ritual and decoration.

About 100 different herbs are covered, including milk thistle, lavender, chamomile, sage and mint, plus some important but lesser known ones. It is comforting to know that there is a herbal cure for every problem and situation, according to the wisdom of Wicca.

This booked is rooted in the Wiccan tradition and serves as more than a simple herbal guide as it also imparts interesting information on aromatherapy, organic gardening and various aspects of holistic healing and it contains a chapter on medieval herbalism. The beautiful black and white illustrations contribute to the pleasant and informative reading experience.

For those more interested in the gardening side, I also recommend Ellen Dugan's excellent Garden Witchery: Magick from the Ground Up, a book that tells you everything about creating your own magick garden and that perfectly complements The Wicca Herbal."
