Cunningham’s Encyclopedia of Magical Herbs

Description

Cunningham's Encyclopedia of Magical Herbs contains the folklore and magical properties of over 400 herbs. It is known that our ancestors lived in harmony with the earth. They knew which plants could heal and which plants can kill. They also knew that plants contained magical powers. They knew these forces could be harnessed and directed to fulfilling a need, anything from protecting a house to finding true love. Magical herbalism is the use of these powers to create positive changes.

The magical properties of onions, cashews, apples, rice, lettuce as well as dill, basil, fennel, garlic and parsley are described. Extensive tables, a cross-reference of folk names, glossary and annotated bibliography make this a comprehensive and valuable guide to the practice of magical herbalism.
