Product Description
"Crone's Book of Magical Words "(previously published as "The Crone's Book of Words)" by Valerie Worth is the book you've been waiting for! In its pages are over 125 spells, incantations and charms. If you can think of a purpose for a spell, it's probably in this book. Need a spell to summon a ghost? Or perhaps you want the opposite: a spell to free a house from being haunted. They're both in this book. Do you need something to help you lose weight or have longevity? You'll find them here. Or perhaps you want to pass through a locked door. It's all in this book.
Even if you don't know a thing about magic, you can use this book. The spells are easy, poetic, and evocative. For example, to cure a wart the instructions are: "Stamp within a silver cup mullein and houseleek together. Stir them with a sparrow's feather. Let it draw the juices up; Twenty times upon one day, brush them over the excrescence; Under sunlight dry the essence -- Soon the wart must shrink away."
The range in this book is phenomenal. You'll find a simple fertility charm and a way to conjure with smoke. You'll read about how to bring rain and how to stop rain from falling. You'll learn how to tell fortunes with sand or with tea leaves. This is more than just a book about magic, it is a folklorist's bonanza.
If you're ready to win another's love or to sweeten someone's disposition, if you want to turn hair long and golden or discover tree spirits, this is the book you must have. Whether you have been doing magic for a long time or are a beginner, this book is a must.

This book provides some lovely chants and poems for many different spells and rituals. It is beautifully worded, although it would not be ideal for a beginner in wicca, or any other form of withcraft. I enjoyed this book and hope to put it to good use.

I have owned the First Edition copies of both Valerie Worth's books, then called The Crone's Book of Words and The Crone's Book of Wisdom, for a number of years now. When I recently saw that they had been re-issued I jumped at the chance to buy myself shiny new copies, the old editions having been somewhat uninspiringly printed and presented.
The Crone's Book of Magical Words is quite possibly one of the most beautiful and inspiring books I have ever had the privilege of owning. For me, the late Valerie Worth has, with these deceptively simple charms and spells, captured the true essence of Magical living and alignment with the Elements. Herein lies a dialogue with the Unseen and a doorway to the world of Spirit.
This is not modern Wicca, it is operative witchcraft of a variety which rarely sees the light of day in this post-Gardnerian age. For anyone interested in exploring and understanding traditional witchcraft you can do no better than to immerse yourself in the simplicity and power of these truly Magical Words.

Still No Spoon-feed from Worth.
Similar to the companion volume (Crone's Charms & Spells) but much less how-to. Still, Rede-adhering Wiccans may not find all the workings in these books palatable anyway. Read more

A thoroughly amazing book
I found this book to be one of the most inspiring and helpful book to the modern witch. It is full of everyday rituals, and some of the most poetic pieces of writing. Read more

Easy reading but not much more.
Fair enough, never judge a book by its cover. This book promises to be a relatively light view into 'magical words' (and her other book 'magical charms'), but doesnt inspire the... Read more
