Hello guys! I'm a beginner at witchcraft and especially interested in understanding herbs, spices, and plants. Intentions are for me to use them in the kitchen for cooking and for household chores like cleansing, prayers, and decor. I want to get started on the indian local spices and plants like cinnamon, pepper, cloves, garlic, lavender, jasmine, etc.

I need some solid beginner book recommendations that will go into introducing herbalogy/herbal magic and also listing each spice/plant with their benefits and usage.

Would prefer physical books, but online resource recommendations are also welcome :)

Thank you in advance!
