I thought this was a really good book. It explained a lot of things that I had not understood from previous books that I had read. It tells you how to make certain infusions, candles, among other natural magic spells. It offered really good tables, although they are not complete. He offers an excellent bibliography for you to pursue more info to fill in the gaps that he admits leaving. I got a little lost in the last chapter on alchemy. I felt that he could have explained that a little better (I admit that I don't know very much about it). A very good book on the subject.

It's a lovely encyclopeadia that contains archain knowledge of herbs, crystals and other materials atc... Excellent for begginers.

This is defenitly a companion to Scott Cunninghams encyclodida of magical herbs. John Michael Greer not only describes the power of herbs he also goes into other things like the elements, precious stons, crystals, and animals. Remember this is just an encyclopedia but its a really good one.
