It is easy to underestimate the power of herbs in healing magic. People tend to go directly to over-the-counter manufactured medicines to treat inflammation, headaches, and indigestion because we have been conditioned all of our lives to depend on prescription or commercial drugs. The beautiful thing about herbs is that they are not formulated. They are provided by Mother Earth and nurtured by water, sun, and all that is natural in this world. You can choose an herb here and choose an herb there and have healing powers in the truest sense of the phrase. Each part of a plant has special and significant properties, so my primary objective in Part 1 is to teach you about them. Magic Herbs come from the leaves, roots, petals, and stems of special plants that can be used for healing magic, charging, and cleansing objects, or you can simply consume their magical properties. This half of the book is meant to explain how herb magic works, which is useful before jumping right into the spell work in Part 2.
