Papa Jim and the Herbal Tradition
Published in 2001 by Original Publications, this workbook is an A-to-Z herb reference with English and Spanish names. The doctrine of signatures, the Ebers Papyrus, and African herbalism all feed into the system Papa Jim presents, making this a cross-cultural reference as much as a practical guide.
The heart of the book is its herb dictionary, which covers dozens of roots, barks, seeds, and flowers with clear instructions for each. You’ll find uses for love, luck, money drawing, protection, hex breaking, and reversing crossed conditions. Preparation methods include herbal baths, charm bags, floor washes, sprinkling powders, teas, and candle dressings, all explained in plain language that works for a first-time practitioner.
What’s Inside
The workbook covers preparation methods like boiling and steeping before moving into the A-to-Z herb listings. Each entry explains the herb’s traditional spiritual use and gives a simple method, whether that’s carrying in a flannel bag, burning on charcoal, adding to bathwater, or working into candle rituals. The practical, no-fuss format means you can open to any page and put the knowledge to use immediately.

The Tarot Fellow Standard
I stock this workbook because it’s one of the most practical, affordable herb references I carry. At around 108 pages it doesn’t overwhelm, but it covers the herbs most practitioners actually reach for. If you’re putting together a working altar setup, pair it with something from my herbs and accessories collection to start practicing right away.
