Enciclopedia de Las Hierbas Mágicas = Cunningham's Encyclopedia of Magical Herbs by Scott Cunningham

While I enjoy Scott Cunninghams' works very much, this one is not my favorite.
I prefer my herbal reference books to be predominately focused on medicines and simples, not so much on the magical uses.
However, as a student of folklore, I appreciate that many of the alternative names for plants as well as their historical purposes and secondary meanings are well documented here.
Still, it's a book that lives on my reference shelf. Even if it is not often used, it makes itself useful just often enough to keep it there.

Good reference book, but I recommend other books in companion to this.

I loved this book so much but apparently Cunningham steals from closed practices and acts as if they’re his own, so no rating.

Such a great reference book. I’m very new to Green Witchcraft and reading more about it, and this book is a tremendous help to get started.

will be extremely useful in my coming ventures into root work and herbal spirituality! recommended by juan, of course.
