Really like this book...
21 Aug 2004
Format:Hardcover
I also wrote a review of Easy Enchantments by the same author and some of my comments in regard to that book are repeated here. I am not Wiccan and don't purport to be especially informed about Wiccan traditions and rituals. I can see how a practised Wiccan might find some of the author's spell recipes too simplistic, but, as a lover of kitchen and folk witchcraft, I think they're both evocative and, on the whole, effective.
The author is a superb writer able to coax a quality of tactile, enjoyably sensuous mystery from her descriptions and anecdotes. As far as I'm concerned, that in itself is magical. After reading the book I became much more aware of the esoteric properties inherent in all kinds of everyday foods and products, which caused me to feel more connected with the "magically vibrational" potential of my quotidian surroundings.
I tried the Preservation Spell when I was really depressed about my future and not sure where to focus my energies or whether to give up trying to be an artist. About an hour after doing the spell I went out for a walk and found a beautiful leather bookmark lying on the sidewalk printed with the words "Man cannot exist without dreams and dies if he gives them up". I know this may not sound like much but it definitely answered my question.
I've tried quite a few of the other spells. Not all of them have worked but most of them have in some form or another.

The Everything Bagel Spell Alone Merits An Award
2 Sep 2006
Format:Hardcover
Lexa Rosean does it again with a tried and true volume of spells designed to give the user "the magical edge" - total brilliance! She unknowingly wooed and wowed me with her Everything Bagel Spell in particular - touched my heart and soul as only she can, with her unique and down-to-earth voice that resonates with any real witch. This volume is a great addition to any Wiccan library and for those just starting to get familiar with the Craft, there can be no better guide than this third degree High Priestess that has decades of experience and perhaps more than her share of talent in communication! A wonderful book that I will never part with.

Excellent
11 Jun 2008
Format:Hardcover
This is a very nice Kitchen Witch book. Do not skip over the Introduction, it is excellent. The book is full of spells to assist the business person. I am particularly impressed with the history and folklore attached to many of the spells. I have tried a couple of them and they worked very well. Although I did "charge" my ingredients first with my "intent". This is not mentioned in the book. As with any spell book, one size doesn't fit all. So some of the spells may not be useful to you. Overall I rated the book a full five stars for creativity and accuracy. Kudos to the author for a job well done!
