While working on my current fantasy novel, my mind decided to take a little journey back in time. I thought, Wouldnt it have been great to live way back when you could summons a dragon, find your prince charming and cast a spell on the wicked witch?
That led me to a playful tour of the magic of herbs. Here is a list of Herbs from A Z and what they can or could possibly do in a world of enchantment. I dont have the particular recipes, but use your imagination and see what you can conjure up!
