Spirit Herbs: Simple Recipes For Hibachi Herbal Magic & Sacred Space

This is a very small book of about 80 pages, and what you are buying is essentially 28 recipes – 22 for burning herbs outdoors on a barbeque, and 6 recipes for strewing herbs indoors, one of which is for making a potpourri.
The first 20 pages of this small book contain information on how to measure herbs, how to store them and how to use a barbeque.
The next 20 pages contain 28 recipes, again mostly for smudges which you should burn outdoors, during spiritual ceremonies for honoring the sun, moon, the elements, for meditation, divination, and few others.
The rest of the book contains a listing of magical properties of about 60 herbs. At the end of the book you will find among references and recommended resources books on magical herbalism by Paul Beyerl, Scott Cunningham.

I also love the recipes section. It was a surprise to learn there were so many types of salt.

After reading Amy Martin’s book, I am inspired to prepare herbs myself to create sacred space. Amy’s instructions and recipes help the reader to
feel comfortable with the processes involved.
The book is easy to read, well laid-out and will provide great reference
for future ceremonies.

Bring more fire and spiritual flavor to your rituals. Moonlady will show you how. This is a really helpful guide for using herbs to enrich the ambience and effectiveness of ceremonies. There are great recipes for creating Holy Smoke! And equally wonderful suggestions for scattering the herbs without burning. Add this book to your ritual tool chest. It’s a winner.

What can I say about this book? I have learned so many different ways to use herbs. The way in which Amy describes different weights and measuring of herbs was amazing. I had so many “Aha!” moments while reading this book. Although it is a small book don’t let that fool you. It is full of information that would be hard to find elsewhere.
The book is divided into different sections: Using herbs, Buying, preparing and storing herbs, Fire lessons (which I found particularly helpful), Burning herbs, strewing herbs (I didn’t even know about such a thing). At the end of the book Amy has included information on all the herbs that she mentions in the book. She also includes a resources section with very helpful suggestions for finding other information.
Before I read this book I was only aware of incense and smudging. Amy included chapters on not only “burning” but also many things you can do once the herbs have been lit. It was especially informative to have information for individuals with breathing disorders.
I would definitely recommend this book to anyone interested in working with herbs. It is written in a style that is appealing to many different levels of experience.
