books on herbalism? :)
By:
Post # 1
I'd like to have a good book on herbalism but i cant quite find what i want..

it should contain,
• name of the species - (latin name) of the herbs
• magical/mythological/medicinal use
• recipes or spells/rituals (not necessarily on all herbs)

if you know of any I'd really appreciate it if you'd share it :)

I recommend those by Scott Cunningham;
'Encyclopedia of Magical Herbs' & 'Magical Herbalism'
Hope this helped :)

Ok, so I have not actually found a book yet with all this information listed. At least not a single book. But a combination is nice.

Here are some books to consider:
The Way of Herbs - Michael Tierra
Green Pharmacy - James A. Duke
Encyclopedia of Herbs - Arthur O. Tucker and Thomas Debaggio
The Herb Book - John Lust
Cunningham's Encyclopedia of Magical Herbs - Scott Cunningham
The One Earth Herbal Sourcebook - Alan Keith Tillotson

I find myself referring to these books often, and they are wonderful. The last one is actually a textbook that you will buy if you enter a school for natural medicines (it is required reading).
