A review by nkmustdie
Cunningham's Encyclopedia of Magical Herbs by Scott Cunningham

4.0

A very good basic introduction. Though, its dated terminology about the "opposite sex" and "if a WOMAN seeks a MAN" and vis versa is extremely annoying. It only focuses on maybe 5 or 6 magical intentions, mostly love, fertility, protection, healing, money, and psychic powers which was disappointing and very narrow. If this book was printed in color, it would greatly benefit the reader or macigal practioner as many of the botanical renderings are gritty and don't print well or make it difficult to tell the difference between potentially very dangerous plants and safe ones. Those grievances aside, I learned a lot about plants and their magical applications which is what I was looking for, I just need to keep looking.
