Summary: Pretty, but lacking
Review: The title of this book can lead a person astray, it does have basic herbal history and folklore, though not in great detail but the magical elements... where are they! This is a bit of an at-home basic kitchen herbalist guide, not a guide for using herbs in magick- it includes charms to keep away witches and demons...! Hardly one and the same! This isn't really for modern witches or neo-pagans, nor is it a guide to magick. It's pretty little reference book with a few home remedies and recipes included, along with superstitions and wives-tales. Not too bad if that's all you're after!

Summary: A Magical Book!
Review: This IS a magical, beautiful book in every way! It is a delight to the eyes with its lush, haunting photographs of herbs and clever drawings that enhance the text. And what a wealth of intriguing information is found between its violet covers! Its pages are filled with the interesting histories, the mythology, folklore, old wives tales and symbolism associated with them. There are recipes for magic and protective charms, as well as for more usual culinary and medicinal uses. Even the dust cover is magical. Enhanced by a beautiful photograph of borage on the front and chive blossoms on the back, its paper has a buttery soft, wonderfully tactile feeling. The only way this volume could be improved is if by some magic the aroma of the herbs could waft from its pages as they are turned.

Summary: A Neat Guide
Review: While by no means a complete guide to herbs and their magickal properties, this book gives scads of information on over 25 hers that you'll most likely recognize by name. Broken into categories such as "Sacred Protection", "Love and "Death" and "Healing and Comfort" under each herb, there are reecipes and ideas for how to use each herb for the designated purpose. I really enjoyed reading this, and it's absolutely beautiful. If you're looking for comprehensive information, however, another book might be a better choice.
