The Herbal Arts: A Handbook of Gardening, Recipes, Healing, Crafts, and Spirituality

Rating:
Summary: A nice quick reference
Review: This is a good, concise herbal book containing history, folklore, recipes & cooking tips, and more. There is also a decent appendix at the back, listing herbs and their corresponding planets, spirits/deities, magical correspondence (or use), and element. You might be able to find some of the information in this book in others, but it can fill out your library nicely, and contains information not regularly found.

Summary: A slightly different herbal
Review: When I first saw this book, I was a little leery of buying it. What do I need with another herb book? They all have the same info, just rehashed. Well, this one was different. Her section (like an encyclopedia) of herbs is not as extensive as other books and deals mostly with the common herbs. However she has many recipes and ideas for the herbs. Not just teas and potpourri, but lotions, soaps, soda pop, toothpaste, etc. My only complaint is the inclusion of the word "spirituality" in the title of the book. There is very little. But one can find numerous books on herbal magick elsewhere.
