by Tylluan Penry
In her introduction to the book, Tylluan writes: "What puts many people off using herbs in their magic is the idea they are going to have to become skilled amateur botanists. Of course it's true that the more you study plants the more you learn, but for most of us the plants we see everyday in our immediate surroundings are common weeds such as Daisies, Nettles and Forget-me-nots. Not very inspiring stuff, you might think. But I intend to show you that even with very limited resources, if you make the effort to find what is in your area you'll probably be surprised to discover you have the ingredients for virtually every magical purpose growing on your doorstep!
Discovering the magical properties of plants is a bit like being a detective; you need to follow the clues to unravel what any particular flower, tree, shrub or even toadstool is likely to contribute towards your magical practice. But you don't have to learn about hundreds of different plants, just half a dozen local ones will be enough to enrich your magical practice to start with, although as you become more skilled your options will increase. " An extremely well researched and informative book. A wealth of information is detailed in a very readable style. Instead of working through plants alphabetically, Tylluan has laid the book out in use order - it is rare to find a plant then look for something to do with it, far more often we have a need then have to find out what to use to achieve it so this makes a lot of sense. A detailed index completes this excellent tome.
