The main part of this book is the listings of the herbs. Each one includes names, associations, and magical attributions. Violets can be used for protection, luck, love, and more. Primrose is for protection and love. Garlic is for protection, healing, exorcism, lust, and prevention of theft.

"Magic doesn't have to be just for holy days and Sabbats, says Dugan, a self-described 'garden witch' who has practiced witchcraft for fifteen years. Magic can also bring energy to everyday life, and can punctuate the rhythm of days and weeks. . . This book will be useful to novice practitioners, who may find it a winsome invitation to incorporating magic into daily life, and to women who are interested in Wicca. The book's layout is attractive and Dugan's writing style is hip and on-target for her audience (Lilith, for instance, is described as 'the original bad-ass chick')." Publishers Weekly
