A Good Reference Book,
I am always looking for books on herbs and herbal references. I took to herbs and their properties many years ago, healing being my original pursuit. Organic and natural healing and healthy alternatives attracted my attention back in the early 70′s and its resurgence as Holistic medicine and Natural healing practices have encouraged a plethora of books on the subject.
What is different about this book is that it focuses on the magickal properties of each herb listed. As a Witch, I have always sought after these kinds of properties to include them in with the known healing aspects of herbs.
As you read through this book, you have to be amazed at the time and research Mr. Beyerl has put into this book. From the various names of each herb, (Latin, common and “also called”) to the planetary associations and magical classifications to the historical references, lore and all the various associations, this book is just chock full o’ information on the over 300 herbs he has listed.
The bibliography reads like a who’s who of herbal references and is worth the read. This book has been very deeply researched, and the best part is that it also includes a wonderful “Part III” section of associations, correspondences and even astrological information. This makes the book a real value. The index is well thought out and very thorough, important to a book like this. If the index is lacking or poorly planned, the book becomes useless to use as a reference. Not the case here, as this is an easy to use reference book.
This is a great book and one I am glad to add to my library as a reference book for the magickal properties of herbs.
