Books:
Field Guides about Trees and Forests, American Wildflowers, Common Weeds of the United States, Rocks and Minerals, Birds. Field guides are published by many companies like The Audubon Society. Use Thriftbooks.com and go to library book sales and look for used copies of books about your local bio-region. The more you know about the nature and seasonal cycles of your location, the more of a magical perspective will you gain. These kinds of books don’t get old of information. They keep their purpose for years. And of course, it is critical to learn true plant identification, if you forage in the wild.
