Informative book with great rituals.
A handy reference guide for anyone practicing Wicca.
Cunningham's books are one of the best resources on Wicca. Although I'm not Wiccan I use his books for research or for beginners. Even so, I was disappointed with the content in Magical Herbalism. Cunningham has always made his spells accessible. Regardless of age, sex, or location. He believed that magick should be practiced according to what felt right to the person. If one wanted to change or adapt his spells they were welcome to do so. None of those ideals are found in this book. Magical He
Good...solid...nothing too complex. A decent introductory text for wort-cunning.
Someone I regard due to his books being top quality. Although I thought there was a lack of herbs as well I know to be useful.But excellent book
Scott Cunningham is one of the foremost experts on Wicca and traditional witchcraft. Everything he wrote about he either used and was successful with or he researched very thoroughly.Magical Herbalism is a book about the magical usage of herbs. The first chapter explains the use of a magic knife your altar and your candles. THe books tells you how to consecrate your knife for magical and sacred use. And when working with herbs for the sake of certain outcomes he tells you which colors to use for...
I love Scott Cunningham's work, his contributions to the Pagan community are far flung and despite his death, he still continues to make a meaningful impact on people. If you are into magickal herbalism or are wanting to learn more about the topic, get this book. It is complimentary to his book "Cunningham's Encyclopedia of Magical Herbs."
Mostly has a lot of the herbal encyclopedia copied over but some interesting new information regardless. I finished this a lot sooner but fell out of reading for a while so it looks like it's been 2 and a half years, haha
Difficulty Level: BeginnerNo magickal background necessary.Pros:- It's an occult/Pagan classic.I believe this book was written for Pagans in general. Just know that it's written from a Wiccan perspective.I highly recommend getting the ebook, so you can quickly find information on the herbs that you're using.This is Cunningham's first book, and although it doesn't have the polish and organization of his later books, it's as comprehensive as his other books. The main different between this one and...
Worthwhile companion volume to Cunningham's Encyclopedia of Magical Herbs, and The Complete Book of Incense, Oils, and Brews. I have read a few reviews from readers who felt that this book was unnecessary if you already had a copy of the Encyclopedia, but I have to disagree. It's probably unnecessary for us old hands who've been working with plants for a while, but a beginner who only picked up a copy of the Encyclopedia would likely be at a loss. Magical Herbalism is the practical how-to, and t...
Not half as cool as Cunningahm's "Encyclopedia of Magical Herbs," this focuses a lot more on spell-casting and ceremonial magic which is not really my cup of brew. But it's an interesting read, well-written.
Great book for deepening one's craft as a witch/ChristoPagan/Wizard/Mage/Magician.
I love this book. This is a Spanish version and well written.
I didn't realize there was a difference between magic herbal healing and sacred plant medicine. In witchcraft, the herbs are not ingested or used in a practical manor, they are used for ritual. There's nothing wrong with that! It's just not where my interests are right now. Maybe in my 'California years'.I did enjoy the final section about planning your magic herb garden, which can be translated to anyone who is planning a garden with a special purpose. The beautiful cover and Art Nouveau style
If I Could Only Bring Just ONE....it was 1982 and i was standing in Berkeley... not even old enough to drink yet. it was 1st print 1st edition brand spanking new in my hands and is now, One of my Oldest, and 32 years later, still one of my Best 'New' additions to the beginnings of my personal library. i HOPE i still have my original copy -trapped in a box, somewhere safe- because of all the books that came and went thru my hands, THIS ONE BOOK of them all, was the first, the easiest, most flexib...
Magical Herbalism by Scott Cunningham explores the use of herbs in magic and wicca, but more than that he demystifies the origins of of our common beliefs regarding the effectiveness of certain herbs. Cunningham explains how to gather herbs and avoid poisons in the process. He explains the effectiveness and general acceptance of herbal use in magic. He lists a variety of herbs including their properties and what magic they are most useful in performing. He even gives guided instructions for plan...
Just brilliant, great for a quick reference book. Well written and some really juicy bits of knowledge.
I love this book. I have been using it for years and now my daughter uses it. Great little compendium of information.
Great. Basic, easy to read, and a good reference.
The 1-5 Star Review is the total of what I have to say about this book, specifically.Caveat: This review is historical/archival in nature. 'Date read' is speculative.This book is one of many books I have read about the occult/paganism/witchcraft. This was the readily available faith in my household as a child. Additionally, I worked for a company in this field, 2015-2016, and had to read an ocean of this stuff to do my job.Like televangelists, and snake-oil salesman, these publishers prey on the...
