Recommended Reading

Cunningham’s Encyclopedia of Magical Herbs, by Scott Cunningham. This has long been seen as a fairly essential book of magical herbalism. Cunningham was an enthusiastic collector of folk magic, and while you certainly should not take this book as gospel on every magical plant listed, it proves incredibly useful for fielding simple spell correspondences and ideas.

Folk Medicine in Southern Appalachia, by Anthony Cavender. This is a fairly academic book, but does an excellent job looking at both the folk cures (herbal and magical) and the folk ailments found in parts of the mid-to-lower Appalachian region. Cavender acts more as a documentarian here, but the information gets at the underlying structure of how the beliefs and the cures work together in the Appalachian region.

Hoodoo Herb & Root Magic: A Materia Magica of African American Conjure, by cat yronwode. Yronwode’s compilation of Hoodoo-based herbal ingredients, curios, and objects stands out as a solid reference for that particular branch of magic. It covers a lot of ground, and is very no-nonsense. Like Cunningham’s work, it shouldn’t be taken as gospel (even for Hoodoo practitioners), but it is useful and valuable in terms of the sheer volume of its entries and information.

A Modern Herbal: The Medicinal, Culinary, Cosmetic and Economic Properties, Cultivation, and Folk-lore of Herbs, Grasses, Fungi, Shrubs & Trees with Their Modern Scientific Uses (2 Vols.), by Margaret Grieve. This two-volume collection is hardly “modern” in the sense of being twenty-first century and up-to-date, but that doesn’t really matter. Ms. Grieve’s Herbal is a quintessential collection of plant lore that covers an immense amount of practical information and interesting folklore. Like so many of these books, it is not a hard-and-fast gospel of herbalism, but certainly well-researched and incredibly informative.
