Magical Herb Compendium
Description
A sourcebook for your botanical needs, the Magical Herb Compendium covers the knowledge and skills for building your own apothecary. Alongside a plant description, each profile lists common names, spiritual uses, folklore and any relevant cautions. Each also carries a meditation, a spell and an anecdote from the author's own practice.
Aurora covers the history of magical herbalism drawn from ancient manuscripts, hieroglyphics and cuneiform tablets, and teaches methods for collecting, preserving and storing your specimens. The profiles run from burdock, calendula, cinnamon and cowslip through foxglove, hops, myrrh and oak, with associations to astrology, deities, angels and spirits.
Why We Carry It
Ninety herbs done properly beats four hundred done in a line each, and this one prints the cautions, which a surprising number of magical herbals do not. The history chapter is the part that will change how you read every other book on the shelf.
Who It Is For
People past the beginner stage who want depth on fewer plants, and anyone building a working apothecary rather than a spice rack.
