Herbal Associations to the Planets and Deities

On this page will we discuss the associations of herbs to the planets and deities. This list is as complete as I could get it! For the Magickal Herbalist this type of information comes in handy when making their remedies, decoctions and the like. It also comes in useful when making talismans and amulets. The non-magickal herbalist may wish to cruise this page just to gain a feel for the history of the herbs they are working with, but if you are interested in astrological information anyway, I'm sure this page will prove interesting to you.
