The Plague Libraries

During this pandemic, I am teaching myself Herbalism and blogging. I'm building up quite a good collection of herbal books - paperback, ebooks and audio. I love Scott Cunningham and Catherine Yronwoode and current favourites Mama Starr and Hoodoo Sen Moise along with some gardening heroes. There are both medicinal and magical uses of plants and herbs. Here is my Circuit Breaker reference list for adventures in Herbs. Some are Hoodoo Herbal, others mainstream Botanicals, Culinary and Gardening. My response to coronavirus lockdowns is Resilience & Rootworking. Here is my library for Reading In A Time of Covid:
