GREETINGS! �Welcome to the new home of Magickal Herbalism!


This site is Under Construction but the links which follow do work.�I hope you will find many useful things here to help you on your way to becoming a Magickal Herbalist or a regular Herbalist! �All are welcome here and there is information to be gained by all. �


If you are already familiar with herbs and herbalism please click the image to �begin your journey through this site.

There's always more to come so check back often this site should really explode between now and the end of March!

For those of you just starting out please take a moment to read the rest of this page �before beginning your journey down the Green Path.



So you've decided you want to be an herbalist, a Magickal One even you say? �Great! �This is one of the most rewarding paths (in my opinion) within the Wiccan/Pagan religions not to mention a great hobby and way to save some money at the doctor! �There are a few things that you need to know before you begin.

1) You are taking your own health and that of others into your hands. This is a big responsibility, be aware of it. �Your first objective, wether you're Wiccan or not, is to DO NO HARM. �Your goal is to heal, if you are unsure of how to treat a certain condition or you are unfamiliar with a particular herb(s) do not use them! �Stop where are you and do not continues until you have more information.

2) The word "natural" does NOT mean "good for you". �There are many herbs which have very harmful side effects and you must be aware of them at all times.



4)Begin building a reference library...NOW! �The best way to do this is to check out the local library and see what books they have available to you. �Take them home and check them over well, if you find that you really like or will really use one or more of those books then write down the name of the author (including any "alphabet soup" which comes after his/her name) the title of the book, the ISBN number of the book and the publishing company. �Take this to your local book store (or if you're a cheap Yankee Witch like me! �You'll go to the nearest Bargain Books Shop around...they usually sell old, use, or out of print books. �You can get twice as many books at these places as you can at say...Barnes and Noble) if they don't have the book they can probably order it for you. �If you are going to practice Magickal �Herbalism you MUST have two sets of reference material..one that details MEDICINAL herbs and their qualities and a set the indexes MAGICKAL herbs and their qualities. �I hate to say it, but the Wiccan/pagan books are NOT the best places to obtain pure medicinal information on herbs. Your reference library does not need to be limited to information solely on herbs, books which deal with different diseases and the body are very helpful, one such books if "Prescription for Nutritional Health and �Healing" by James Balch, MD and Phyllis A. Balch, C.N.C. is an excellent place to start for this type of material. �Your reference library may also include links to herbal sites on the internet.



Ok, well now that I've stated that! �Let's get on with the fun stuff! �Please come inside and have a look around, remember this site is Under Construction and will be undergoing constant change over the next month. �If you don't see anything you like right now, please check back soon as it will change quickly.
