This book is exactly what the title calls it...  It's a wonderful guide to the druidic herbal needs and wants as ritual tools for the wheel of the year.  It covers all of the Sabbats extensively, as well it includes information on herbal healing and remedies.  It also has information of the Celtic Tree Calendar and other notes and verses I found somewhat spiritually inspiring.  Over all I like it, it's not always an applicable resource, but specifically dealing with the Druidic path, it's a keeper.

The most complete book I’ve found with a listing of herbs and their magickal uses, as well as a good listing of folklore mixed in.  It's really good for the index of addition names plants can be called.   Cunningham is the original, his information was based on countless years of research and as a magickal practitioner.  This book is excellent for newbies and the curious alike.  It’s a wonderful resource for the practicing witch, and the pictures are pretty darned good too.

An amazing book that no North American herbalist should be without.  It covers everything from the basics to the really intricate workings of an herbalist’s craft, including a wonderful selection of plant information that covers more Canadian plants which can be harder to find.  The only thing I personally would find more helpful would be some images, but it still rocks.
