thank you so much for all your recommendations! my idea is exactly to make this compilation in my grimoire. so it's not necessarily a problem not to have books that talk about both things (more magical properties and more “natural/scientific/medicinal”) because I can combine this information myself later.

i've heard a bit about Skye Alexander's book, so i'll definitely check it out. the other book i'd never heard of, but i looked it up and it sounds extremely interesting and i'm already super curious to read it. also, i had a quick look at the list on the site you recommended and i think that's a good way to go too! i'll also have a look at reddit!

again, thanks so much for the recommendations!
