Cute stories and ideas, but terrible scientific errors
As a practicing Wiccan of several years, I enjoyed the folklore and ritual ideas presented in this book. But, as an undergraduate forestry major, I have to point out that the authors had no idea what they were doing as far as giving the plants their correct scientific names. Do yourselves a favor and use this book as a supplement to a legitimate herbal encyclopedia.

This "almanac" (which it is not really) is mostly healing, beauty and health, growing, cultivation, cooking with, using, etc., with herbs. No calendars or correspondences. I think it is great for an addition to a health or cooking herbal library, but would not stand well on its own. I found a lot of useful gardening and other misc. tips for many common herbs and good ideas and recipes for herbal remedies, recipes, and beverages (the info/recipes on making various herbal syrups was worth the price alone IMHO).
