Scott Cunningham From the editor:
Nature has provided a veritable magical pantry in the plants, which cover our planet. For untold ages these plants have been utilized in magic-the practice of causing change by natural powers.
In ancient times plants were Gods and Goddesses; spirits and magicians lived within gnarled oaks and whispered from flowers. Our ancestors discovered the forces present in plants and harnessed them to improve their lives.
Today the weeds and wildflowers that grace our cities and wildernesses, the ornamental and food plants in our gardens, even common house plants still possess incredible powers. Magical herbalism is the use of these powers.
Though the medicinal properties of plants are fairly well known-many of the most widely-prescribed drugs are synthesized versions of substances originally derived from plants-their occult powers are less accessible. Much of magic still lies in the shadow of secrecy.
This book is an attempt to continue the work done in MAGICAL HERBALISM- to bring to light the occult properties of plants. Over 400 herbs are discussed, with exact magical procedures for using them.
Far from concentrating on esoteric, unobtainable plants, many of those mentioned within are old friends. Onions, cashews, apples, rice, lettuce-as well as dill, basil, fennel, garlic and parsley are surveyed, and hundreds of others. Extensive tables, a cross-reference of folk names, a listing of herb suppliers, glossary, annotated bibliography and hundreds of illustrations make this an infinitely practical book.
