"O, who can tell the hidden power of Herbes and might of magic spell?" Spenser The Faerie Queene

"No ear hath heard, no tongue can tell The virtues of the Pimpernel."

This is a truly unique and rare find, one of the best books ever compiled for anyone interested in herbal lore, magic, witchcraft, and the occult use of plants. It contains a wealth of history and uses, a section for creating potions, and even information on how to see the fairies. There is simply no other book like this out there. It features stunning woodcut artwork, all of which is in pristine condition. A genuine hardcover that has been exceptionally cared for, this is a treasure for any collector.
This book pulls from the ancient and magical herbs and plants the witches have used for various purposes.

"A well-stocked garden is a must for any witch, for the strength of her magic potions depends upon the skillful use of the right plants or trees. Most of us know of the special properties of one or two, such as hemlock; the author, who has lectured on the folklore of plant life for many years, tells us here, in a lively and entertaining style, about a vast number of plants and trees and the legends and superstitions surrounding them. Magic, witchcraft, astrology, primitive medicine, ancient traditions still surviving at various festivals - all are discussed in this fascinating book on the plant life of our gardens, fields, and woods".

Dorothy Jacob, a renowned and respected writer in the field of herbal and witchcraft books, brings her extensive knowledge and expertise to this volume.

The condition of this book is very good despite being over half a century in the making. It has some age toning to the pages and a couple of minor bumps to the cover corners, but it has been very well kept.
