Synopsis: Nature has provided a veritable magical pantry in the plants which grow all over our planet. Since ancient times these plants have been used in magic- the practice of causing change by natural (albeit little-understood) 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 their magic still lies in the shadow of secrecy. Our ancestors knew that plants had mysterious, magical powers. Although the magic in herbs has been forgotten by many, it has never disappeared. Return to the days when nature spirits dwelled in sacred groves and fairies danced in flower gardens. Inside this book you'll find magical uses for hundreds of plants: String a garland of marigolds above your door to keep evil from entering your home. Bury vervain around your house and in your house plants-wealth will flow and the plants will thrive. Carry a bag of orris root to attract love. Drink rosebud tea before bed to induce prophetic dreams. - Cunningham's Encyclopedia of Magical Herbs is a treasury of herb wisdom and lore from the Old and New Worlds. This comprehensive guidebook has all the information you need to practice magical herbalism. Tap into the power of plants and watch your magic blossom!
