A Kitchen Witch's World of Magical Plants & Herbs

There is a few paragraphs for most herbs and also they are separated into lists by astrological sign, month, gender, etc. Makes looking things up easy and quick. Great reference. Also good for those who are learning the craft. I also liked her conversational tone.

I have not taken this book out of my bag since I received it. I am constantly picking it up when i have a chance and reading it. I am very happy with my purchase as it is a tremendous book. It has lots of useful information and well written.

Informative

I love this book! What a valuable resource.

I've enjoyed thumbing thru this book, it's full of useable info. I really need to just sit and read it when there's time. I'm glad I got it!

Everything you need to know.

This isn't a medical herbal or a 'how to grow herbs' book. It is an easily accessible guide to the energy and magick of the old ways employed by cunning folk and the village wise women , often referred to as Witches. A Kitchen Witch will find this an invaluable quick reference to herbs, their magickal properties and correspondences.Written in Rachel Patterson's friendly and conversational style There are many ideas on how to use herbs around the home harnessing plant spirit energies, including tips on growing, harvesting and storing them, and using them in meditation. My favourite craft idea being the Lavender pentacle. The directory of herbs isn't comprehensive,, but most the items listed are easily grown, or acquired in a supermarket or online shop and are those you would probably the ones you would want to know about as a hearth and home focused Kitchen Witch.I found the sections at the end containing the correspondence lists really useful as a cross reference to identifying the most useful herb for a given situation. It will be a well used reference in my kitchen.

This a lovely book. Rachel Patterson's warm, knowledgeable and witty writing style makes this accessible to a readership consisting of novice and experienced magical practitioner. If you have even the slightest affinity with the plant world this is a good book to acquaint yourself with their mysteries. The author places the reader at the heart of the home and natural world; and does not assume they have either deep pockets or access to unfathomable arcane lore. The book is divided into clear chapters dealing with the practicalities of growing and harvesting plants, plant spirits. a compendium of plants with their practical applications and correspondences. The tools of the Kitchen Witch are readily available and do not require a hefty wallet you may be relieved to know.This book is as much about forming relationships with the plant allies as it is about magical working.

Love love love. What a great book. Easy to read love it

As a performer in Herbal Wives Events, I found this book fascinating. Herbal Wives in the 15 and 16th century were often condemned as witches, quite incorrectly. Therefore it is interesting to see the approach of modern "white" witches. Information on poppets and witches bottles were just wonderful. Bit of tongue in cheek too! Loved it.

I love this author and have not been disappointed yet. This book has a good reference to many herbs, uses, magickal purposes and very well described. A must for any Kitchen Witch.
