This book has probably been the most used book in my personal practice. While it’s more popular among Wiccans, any witch can find it useful, especially beginners! I was given a copy years ago and bought this one to give to my friend who’s recently started practicing. The first thing I like about this book is how it’s quite comprehensive, despite being beginner friendly. It has a lot of different plants and their coorespondences both in magical and mundane applications, and the glossary in the back is perfect if you just need a little something without looking through the whole book. If someone told me they were getting into witchcraft, this would be the first book I recommend. I use it just as much now as I did when I only had it.

Delivered quickly with no creases on cover corners or in binding. The lowest price on books I’ve found anywhere! 🖤

Needed this book for my collection and herbal knowledge! It’s great

I personally practice Hoodoo, therefore if I had known that this book was Wicca/Pagan based I definitely would not have bought it. I only bought it because of the many good reviews & recommendations people have given me for it. However I do still like the book & I still chose not to return it since it does have uses for certain ingredients that are not technically used in Hoodoo, therefore if I happen to come across something in my backyard that I might want to use I can always double check this book to see if there is a way to utilize it somehow whether it's traditionally used in my practice or not. I like the book, I definitely don't hate it & I think that if you are Wiccan or Pagan this is definitely a good resource to have on hand. I do like the fact that it has Feminine & Masculine labels of the herbs, I like that it has the Planetary labels of the herbs & even though again I do not practice Wicca or Paganism I can still appreciate the way that the book is written; I even think it's cool that the author mentions what Deity's are associated with certain herbs. All in all, I'd recommend it. Even if you're not a part of the practice it's based in I'd still get it to use for general herb & root purposes.

I purchased this encyclopedia to deepen my understanding of herbs and their various uses, and I was honestly surprised by just how many species are covered. The layout is incredibly user-friendly, with everything listed alphabetically. Each entry is surprisingly detailed, providing not just the common name, but also folk names, gender associations, ruling planets, elements, and associated deities. What makes this a "must-have" for me are the specific sections on the powers and magical uses for each plant, paired with intricate illustrations that help with identification. The back of the book is just as valuable as the front; the tables and appendices provide a quick reference to certain topics, such as herbs used to maintain health or the alternative names an herb might go by in ancient folklore. It even includes a list of resources for ordering supplies, which is so helpful for homesteaders and practitioners alike. This is a classic for a reason and truly belongs on everyone's reference shelf.

It is as I imagined. It will be good as an encyclopedia.

I was bit skepticle regarding the order after reading the seller's review. But the seller Atlantic Publishers and Distributions Pvt. Ltd. did quite a nice job. They sends the original book. It took 15 days to reach but the service was good. About the book it is a great addition in any herbalist's library. You will get many informations regarding herbs, seeds and plants.

Recieved the book in excellent condition. This book is a must have.

Every witch/shaman/rootworker need this. Many herbs described.

Great book, has herbs that are more common in US and Europe region (I think? Something to consider if you're from another part of the world). Nothing too in depth and good book to start your journey!
