Herbs & Other wiccan shop questions!

[•Kaylaaa.]

I've been this local magic shop for awhile now, but it's really hard to go through all the herbs they have and write the names down for each one and what they mean. Is there a website or do you guys know anything that talks about herbs, what they mean, what they can do. Anything like that?

Also;; What is something worth buying at a shop like that? I mean, I've looked through their books several times and they just, I don't prefer any of their books. They have crystals, jewelry, but I don't know where to start - My friend and I haven't been to the shop for a long time, and when I go back I want to go back with a clear head on what we're getting and what we're going to do. Any suggestions?

Any help would be loved and totally appreciated!

hmm, my best suggestion would be to reserach herbs and their uses before you go back, and before you buy anything, ask yourself if you actually need it for the craft, or if it just looks cool so you want it. think about your intentions for the product before you buy it.

here's a site about herbs, see if its what you need.

Here are a few of the books that I have read and use all the time.

The Herb Book: by John Lust. This is my favorite book out of all the ones that I have. It is very useful.

Cunningam's Encyclonpedia of Magical Herbs: Very insightful

Complete Earth Medicine Handbook: by Susanne Fischer-Rizzi

There are lots of books on herbs and they each tell you differnt things about them and their uses. But you must be very careful of all herbs and use them correctly. Ashie is right when she said to know your intent and be sure of what you need before you buy them.
