To start with, how eye-catching is that cover? I love it! So onto the book itself...

This book is broken down into the following chapters...
One: Introduction to Magical Folkhealing 
Two: Tools Needed For Working with This Herbal
Three: Ancient Herbalists’ and Apothecary Symbols
Four: Ancient Table of Weights and Measures
Five: Folklore Names of Herbs, Flowers, and Trees
Six: Week Days, Planets, and Zodiac Signs
Seven: Herbs and Trees for Magick and Well-Being
Eight: Herbal Combinations for Spells
Nine: Tools Needed for Scented Oils  
Ten: What Exactly is Aromatherapy?
Eleven: Oils for Mind, Emotional and Spiritual Matters
Twelve: Creating Special Atmospheres
Thirteen: Some Final Words
Fourteen: Some Book of Interest

Each chapter starts with a pretty chapter title graphic and what follows is quite a bit of information about measurements. Plant names, and their uses. Plants and signs of the zodiac. Celtic trees and months. Spells. Etc. It is certainly a very thorough book on the subject, but unfortunately it was also a little dry. I would have loved to have seen some whimsical graphics and tidbits mixed in between everything.
