Before I spend my money, wondered if anyone has any recommendations for good books about native herbs....as in how to identify them, their properties and preparation? I have a couple of pocket ones I am using, but now need something a bit more hefty and informative.
Thanks

Well, the definitive book about herb/plant folklore is "A Modern Herbal" by Mrs. Grieve. Every person involved in any kind of pagan spirituality should have it.
If you want to go historically native, try looking around for books on archaeo-botany.

I would suggest it is very much a companion tome to one used for identification. |
