I think I've made a nice start to the Knickertwist's wildcrafting section. I haven't really bothered with the medicinal uses of these herbs, focusing mainly on the folklore and magical properties. So far I've got Chicory, Dandelion, Goldenrod, Soapwort, Queen Anne's Lace, and Yarrow, with plans to add more as time goes on.The internet can be a good resource but there is a lot of silly misinformation out there. It's sort of like that telephone game where people repeat things and the message gets all messed up. If you are interested in herbs and herbalism consider investing in some great books. These books are my absolute favourite herbal resources:
Culpeper's Complete Herbal, published 1653, by Nicholas Culpeper,
A Modern Herbal, published 1931, by Mrs. M. Grieve,
Rodale's Illustrated Encycopedia of Herbs, published 1987
Culpeper's Complete Herbal, published 1653, by Nicholas Culpeper,

Magically speaking the most popular and useful book on herbs is probably Cunningham's Encyclopedia of Magical Herbs by Scott Cunningham.
Enjoy and be safe!
