     Thanks to the increasing popularity of Wicca, there has been a resurgence in interest in herb magic. With all of the readily available herbs – either store bought, grown, or foraged – herbal magic is one of the most accessible forms of magic of all, not to mention one of the most effective! If you’re looking to start practicing Wicca or Witchcraft (or you want to practice spellwork under a completely different umbrella!), herbal magic is one of the best starting points. Magical Properties of Herbs Going right back to the earliest recorded history, the healers, shamans, and other medicine men and women of the “old days” understood that herbs are useful for more than just nutrition and physical cures. But throughout history and across continents, all societies had working relationships with herbs and their magical properties. When you think about it, it’s little surprise that herbs are among the most powerful tools of magic. After all, plants embody the power of the four classical elements working together to create and sustain life – Earth (the soil), Fire (the Sun), Air (Oxygen), and Water (well, plants do need water!). Of course, not all herbs have the same magical properties. Some herbs, like lavender and cinnamon, are primarily used for matters of the heart. Others, including basil and sage, are called upon for protection spells. Throughout this book, you’ll learn about the magical properties of some of the most popular herbs, enabling you to use them effectively during spellwork.
