First and foremost I have to say this IS a fantastic reference book and has information I've not seen in other reference materials often. There is information on the archetypal planetary herbs, qualities of the zodiac signs, elements, domiciles of the planets, planetary signatures, planetary days & hours, etc.The Paracelsian Physiology chapter is particularly interesting. The chapter speaks to the soul, spirit and body. Furthermore the chapter discusses the 7 major organs and which vital spirit is associated with it (i.e., Solar spirit, Lunar spirit, etc.). The chapter speaks to the four elements within the human body too (i.e., fire burns in and exits through the eyes).There is a great chapter on "Glossary of Herbal Actions" that defines terms such as expectorant, diuretic, aphrodisiac, vulnerary, etc.The chapter "Concordance of Elemental and Astral Plant Signatures is FANTASIC! Breaks down Elemental Signatures such as "Air Plants (air symbol): Hot and Wet" lists plants that fall under the signatures. Same for Planetory Rulers & Zodiacal Signatures.With all of the fantastic information above this book IS TOTALLY worth being in your library.Here is my "But Wait" the sole reason I purchased the book in the first place was because the name "Occult Botany Sédir's Concise Guide to Magical Plants" led me to believe that the spiritual and magical properties of the plants would be within. I included a photo of the page that has Cinnamon & Cinquefoil on it. Does it include some occult references yes - are the "Occult Properties" details related to spiritual & magical use? Not really. Some plants have a very small blurb like in the Cinquefoil but most "Occult Properties" are referencing more medical usages like it does with Cinnamon. Any occult herbalist can tell you that Cinnamon has an amazing list of spiritual and magical uses such as power, confidence, lust, fast money, aphrodisiac, speeds the action of potions just to name a few. The almost completely missing spiritual and magical information is the absolute only reason I knocked off two stars. The title - at least to me - is misleading. It should have been named something else and certainly should have left "occult" out of the title and most importantly not used the term "occult properties" to describe it's usage because it more often than not excludes the actual occult properties of the plants that occultists seek. Is it a good general holistic usage description yes.The other reason I knocked off stars was due to missing "common names / AKA names / folk names" for example Cinnamon is also known as Cassia and Cinquefoil is also known as Five Finger Grass just to mention the ones in the photo.As I said the book is 100% worth having. I personally don't think the spiritual and magical uses are in it (like I thought they would be) and missing common / AKA names / folk names is a big drawback in my humble opinion. If these were included then this tome would be a 100% complete reference book and no need for any others! I would LOVE to see this title updated with these areas of interest addressed!!! Please refer to photos for examples.
