Hi, my loves and welcome to WiccaNow. Recently I’ve talked quite a bit about different categories of herbs, like these posts on herbs for self-love, herbs for love spells, herbs for protection and herbs for luck along with detailed posts on cinnamon, lavender and rosemary. I suddenly realised, that while these posts were great for expounding on these plants in more detail, it would also be very useful to have all our magical herbs and plants compiled into one easy to consult alphabetical list.
