I really enjoyed this book. You don’t have to be a witch to read this, I’m not but herbalism fascinates me and I live very close to where she’s at. The author seems very educated although I would never make recipes for medicine without educating myself more. She gives a good overview of the history of European witchcraft and how it was viewed by the people and the church from around the thirteen hundreds on. God forbid you were a single woman js. She explains how American folk medicine is a mixture of European, indigenous and West African influences. There are rituals and witchcraft descriptions as well as for medicines. She tackles sustainability and ethical foraging and what her views are on that as well as what to eat and what not to eat. There is a lot in this book that you might be interested in if witchcraft or herbalism interests you.
