Recommended resources to learn more about herbs?

I'd like to recommend the Herbal tarot and accompanying guide The Spirit of Herbs by Michael Tierra and Candis Cantin. Not an herbal reference book per se, but a good way to begin to look at associations between tarot and plant spirits, and discover the spiritual properties of certain herbs with emphasis on the four elements. I've used this deck for 25 years.

To add to the other suggestions..Culpepers Complete Herbal is an interesting olde school book; also researching material related to 'The Doctrine of Signatures' might be of interest to you.

I like Cunningham's very first book a lot. It's called Magical Herbalism. The encyclopedia has more herbs in it, but his way of writing and presenting the subject in Magical Herbalism is excellent. I also highly recommend Mastering Herbalism by Paul Huson

I am a trained herbalist and am open to answering any questions about medicinal uses at any time! Magical uses of herbs are a little different than medicinal uses... I am not adept with the magical associations yet but I have heard the book Antoinette listed above is a great place to start!

Hi Bella, I LOVE Cunningham's Encyclopedia of Magical Herbs. It's one of the more comprehensive books on magical use of herbs that I own. I reach for it first when I want to reference an herb. I have several of Scott Cunningham's books and I've found them useful and really fun! He was a wonderful author!

Hi Bella, Amy Blackthorn's Botanical Magic Green Witch Guide... was recommended to me. You could check it out. BB

My medicine woman was activated with the covid. Using herbs to boost the immune system and essential oils to purify the air. I’m really interested in herbalism.

I’m sure it will be and there are so many to work with
