A good introduction to the use of herbs both medicinally and for the purpose of magick. My only quibbles would be that you the information is not as concisely laid out as I would like. Most of the recipe use information is held within the information provided before the recipe is shown. This means the reader must go back and reread what was written or use the appendix provided. Good for taking notes to build your own book of recipes but not a go to. I would have liked more magical purposes provided besides how teens in the past used particular herbs via divination to find husbands.

This is such a great book of using herbs for many different things. Everything from health (there is a warning of things to watch for) as I know some that get so excited about using plants and herbs that they forget to check with their doctors and be safe while using them. This book discusses use of herbs for health and beauty. The many different ways of making herbs into salves, teas, washes, and tinctures among others are discussed. Which form would be best? Such as using a rinse for your hair as opposed to putting ointment on it. This book is very in-depth and that it is obvious that the author has done her research. I can't wait to try some of the face masks. Using herbs for cooking and also, for rituals are parts of the use and need of them. Just reading this book excites me. I want one on my shelf as a reference so I can reach for it when I need it. I have friends that will be getting copies of this book as soon as it hits the shelves. 5+ recommendation from me. I received this book from Net Galley and Llewellyn Publishing for a honest review. The opinions expressed are my own..
