Review: Thanks,Scott. Your book is a wonderful companion for those getting into hebalism as well as Celtic magick. It has become an essential guide for my ecclectic group as well as myself. Keep 'em coming!

Summary: Oi!
Review: This book has a wealth of knowledge of herbs, including folk names, magickal uses, and other information. Hundreds of herbs are listed in complete detail, many descriptions seen along side a picture. The book has more about herbs and their magickal uses than has any other book I have seen so far. For an excellent guide, buy Cunninghams's Guide. Blessed Be, Serval-Lilyth Eumagi

Summary: Researchers! Here there be gold!
Review: I'm writing this review after ordering my 5th copy of the book. Why the 5th copy? Do I give them away? No, I use an edition until it -- literally -- falls apart in my hands! This is by far THE BEST reference for herbs to be found since it addresses brief magical, practical and medicinal uses, provides drawings and also folk names in a logical, readable order. Writers who want to get it right in their work, if you can only afford one book, buy this one (twice!). I heartily recommend it for people of the craft, writers and gardeners.

Summary: BUY IT!
Review: This is THE best herbal book for magickal purposes. My friend had gotten it a little while ago and I HAD TO GET ONE! It has everything in it you need. I'm starting a small wiccan shop online and I needed it for selling herbs and making candles and such. YOU WON'T BE SORRY WHEN YOU BUY THIS BOOK! Blessed be

Rating:
Summary: Extremely limited ......Not for beginners in herbalism
Review: This book is only for the magical uses of herbs and is limited even on that level. It only gives uses/names for fresh herbs, nothing else. It is helpful if you wish to know the magical uses of fresh herbs but not much else. Learn more about the herbs themselves before you buy this book, otherwise it is a waste of money!

Summary: Comprehensive & Essential
Review: It does seem that one don't normally need to review the priceless works of the late sage, Scott Cunningham. His knowledge and gift to the Wiccan community is legendary. This book, like one of our learned reviewer mentioned, "is a BILBLE reference". It contains almost all imaginable herbs and their corresponding influences to assist in a successful magickal working. I have read many herbal books that claim to be complete and must have..blah blah...but nothing really comes close to this one. It's not that one has to pay alot of money in order to obtain knowledge but these days on the book front, you start to wonder if the writers and publishers of some expensive books on herbal lore should read up more before flooding the market with dubious contributions. You can tell when you have picked up a great book. With Scott Cunningham, he's never short on sharing everything useful he knows and my my, this man really really knows alot. Go get it!

Summary: A vast array of knowledge on the subject of herbs
Review: This book was an excelent work and fits the title of encyclopedia very well. It's jam packed with herb after herb for 201 pages( out of 318), however it lacks actual application, save for old folk lore on usage. It also has a great cross-referance section.

Summary: Excellent Reference
Review: This is a must for anyone with an interest in herbs. Excellent for the beginer and the advanced and all points in between....get this book, it's well worth it

Rating:
Summary: Highly Recommended!!!!
Review: This Book is the best book on herbs I have found in a magickal sense. It explains the powers, and magickal uses as well as the herbs gender, ruling planets, and the deities, the herbs correspond too. This book is a must for anyone in the occult, and it will help you learn to create your own magickal spells, and help aide in all parts of your life.
