This is a comprehensive collection of the magical and historical uses of herbs and plants. Draco provides instructions on how to prepare a variety of recipes for things such as infusions, poultices, decoctions, etc. I intend to use this book as a reference for my work as a green witch!

So I love the information in this book and what I can create with these herbs. My only disappointment is that there aren't any images against some of the more obscure herbs to help you recognize what they look like. That was a lot of back and forth of reading and going to google to look at what these look like to learn and identify them more clearly. I loved how each section has the scientific name, common name, simple recipe, do not use's, magical use, superstition/folklore and the authors own personal note for each herb.

Really enjoyed this book and it was super informative.

Wow. I really like this book. It not only covers simples, but also provides the Latin names, Common names, Magical uses, and folklore information as well. I’m a history geek, so all of this extra information and the Latin names make this not only an insightful read, but an enjoyable one too. I highly recommend this book!
