Cunningham's Encyclopedia of Magical Herbs

Cunningham’s Encyclopedia of Magical Herbs, which presents over 400 herbs and plants from around the world, along with their magical uses, planetary/elemental correspondences, and folklore. If you practice natural magic, herbal witchcraft, or simply want a solid reference for the magical uses of plants (and by extension substances), this encyclopedia is a valuable addition to your library.

📚 Key Features

• Alphabetical format: enables you to look up an herb or plant by name and find its magical associations quickly. 

• Each entry typically gives: common name, Latin or alternate names, element or planetary rulership, gender (in magical sense), magical uses (purpose such as protection, love, banishing), and sometimes how to use it (incense, sachet, oil, etc).

• For example: A review noted the book provides “the proper name, and magical intentions” among other data.

• It is geared for magical/ritual use rather than medicinal or botanical detail. A quote explains: “This is very much a magical reference text … If you are trying to figure out which herb to use for spellwork, this may be the book for you.” 

• Part of a larger series, including titles like Cunningham’s Encyclopedia of Crystal, Gem & Metal Magic, Cunningham’s Encyclopedia of Wicca in the Kitchen, and more.
