Cunningham's Encyclopedia of Magical Herbs (Llewellyn's Sourcebook Series)by Scott Cunningham Paperback - 325 pages 1 Ed edition (May 1985) Llewellyn Publications ISBN: 0875421229 Check price @ amazon.com , amazon.ca , amazon.co.uk Spotlight Reviews Reviewer: hannah12 from Arlington, Virginia USA This is a fun book. I don't know if the spells work because I haven't tried any yet, but I told my husband if he crossed my path I was going to turn him into a frog, to which he replied "Ribbet." Okay, okay, Mr. Cunningham doesn't recommend using magic in that way, but I can see from reading the various concoctions and spells that many of these things work because they work. And, just in case, I do have prophylactic holly trees and bushes planted around my house, and I swear the catnip I planted for my cat has helped us form a psychic bond, and "The Scarlet Pimpernel" well that's a whole story unto itself. If you write or read magical realism, want to learn more about magical practices, or are just curious, you will enjoy this book. Cunningham's entries are illustrated with very accurate pen drawings of the herbs. The book includes an annotated bibliography which is relatively comprehensive. Many works by respected social scientists are included. I disagree with Cunningham's assessment of Robert Groves' "White Goddess" or his take on Sir James Frazier's "Golden Bough" but I agree that a good way to learn about the old ways is to read material written by churchmen who pointed out in great detail the nefarious ways of sin. The best book on Cunningham's list for this purpose is Phillip Schmidt's "Superstition and Magic." Schmidt was a Jesuit who attemted to show the horrors of the occult and included much detail on herbal lore in his book. Reviewer: Cheree from Virginia, United States I love this book. It is mostly a big dictionary with the magickal properties of different plants, but in addition to this, the first 22 pages is an introduction to the art. It talks about what a magickal herbalist is, The use of timing (if you choose), tools, visualization, an altar, ect. It also has "spells and procedures" which includes enchanting the herbs, making satchets, infusions, baths, teas, ect. I was over all very impressed with the entire book. Also included is the folk names of many herbs, (adder's fork, wool of bat, ect.) It was all very interesting and put into an easy to read format. Reviewer: Josh Harkema from Okotokes, AB Canada This book is probably the most useful thing any type of harbalist could come across, it's indexes are so compleate that it is impossible to NOT find something. There is a life time or two worth of herbal knowledge trapped within the covers of this book. If you have any inclination towards herbs in any way definitly buy this book.
