Product Description
Product Description
This book has everything a teen Witch could want and need between two covers: a magical cookbook, encyclopaedia, dictionary, and grimoire. It relates specifically to today's young adults and their concerns, yet is grounded in the magical work of centuries past. It is organised so that readers can skip over the parts they already know, or read each section in alphabetical order.

First Sentence
Although today many of us don't think about the power of words, sound, or touch, those who have gone before us knew that all these things carried an energy of their own, and to give that positive energy to another was a gift more precious than gold. Read the first page

Format:Paperback
This is the best book on Witchcraft I have ever read and believe me I have read a lot on the subject. I am not exaggerating when I say if you only bought this book you know everything you need to know about starting or brushing up on Witchcraft. She tells you about astral projection, seeing auras, dowsing, spells, rituals, esbats, sabbats, choosing a patron god or goddess or patheons, recipes for waters (holy water, thunder water, lightning water), gemstones, crystals, the Wiccan ethics, choosing a magickal name, telling your friends about your interests, and lots more. Truly amazing, I wish more occult writers like Silver existed. She tells things how they are and in a humorous and enlightening way. This is not only a book for Teenagers, everything you will ever need can be found within the confinds of this book! There are spells for exams, removing acne, glamours etc for teenagers but also spells to remove debt (which teens aren't usually known for), finding love and taking your first astral trip. I would advise this book to anyone who is serious about the craft and is not just for beginners. She gives tips on meditation or specific meditations like the Witches Pyramid (To know, to dare, to will, to be silent, to go)mediataion to achieve a goal or desire you have been wanting. She gives spells her children have written to protect their lockers and bedrooms or spells to protect yourself on a date. She does not expect strange ingrediants, just normal things you can buy at the supermarket which is appropriate because in London where I live I have not yet found an occult shop! Buy this book if you are a beginner, internediate to witchery or skilled practioner or even mildly curious to the craft and how it is practiced. Blessed Be!!!!

i have been a solitary witch for 7 years now i started when i was 15 using Silvers New Generation books, which are also excellent for novices, when i heard about this book as with the other reviewers i thought it would just rehash her previous books.. HOW WRONG I WAS.. this is a fantastic indepth book into the craft.. perfect for moving on from novice material.. I love silvers books they are fantastic to read and she writes with an upbeat humour which is hard to come by in craft books as they can be a tough read sometimes. I have had this book for 2 years now and i still use it to this day as a reference!!! THIS IS A MUST HAVE FOR ANYONE IN THE CRAFT.. IF YOUR A BEGINNER KEEP YOUR EYE ON THIS YOUL NEED IT IN THE FUTURE!

A lot of Witches I come across are either very pro or very anti Ravenwolf- she seems to court a lot of controversy and personally I find that unfair. She is regarded in some quarters as the ultimate 'Fluffy Wicca' author- I dispute that, and this book is a substantial example of why the title is undeserved. First things first this is a HUGE tome, and as such is a good choice if you're starting out..it's great value for money. The book is laid out in an easy to read format, with indexed pages to allow you to find precisely what you're after. Do not be under any false impressions here, there has been a lot of thought and work put into this volume, covering a vast subject range..from spirit guides to altar set up, to healing herbs and tarot cards..there's almost 600 pages of essential knowledge in this volume. Silver has obviously done her research, and at the end of some sections in the book she suggests other works on the same subject should you wish to increase your knowledge further in that area (not all the books that she suggests are her own, either!;). Also, it's evident that she has carried out a lot of historical investigation-the book is dedicated to Ronald Hutton, who wrote the outstanding 'Triumph of the Moon', and if you have read that then you'll understand for this book to have met with his approval means it must be pretty good. Another bonus for the reader is that Silver has an excellent conversational writing style, the prose is really easy to understand and that adds to the reading experience.
There is a downside though, which is really unfortunate. It's aimed primarily at teens, and I really wish it hadn't been. This seems to be a blooming market at the moment, and to be honest I feel that teens are perfectly capable of reading 'adult' tomes but altering the material within to suit. After all, as a Witch you have to be adaptable! So within the volume you will find that are lots of spells aimed squarely at resolving teen issues, such as dating and homework problems. I think the book should have stated on the cover that it was aimed at such a market, but having said that you can skip these sections or change the material to suit your needs. It's only a minor gripe though really, when you consider the size of the book and the quality of the information there really is something for everyone within its pages.
I would suggest that you give this a try. If nothing else it's a handy reference book to have, and a good introductory text. Or, if you're of the 'Anti-Ravenwolf' fraternity, it'd make a great doorstop! =^..^=
