Amazing! I have tried several of the 50 spells contained in this book, and they WORK. This book will appeal to the beginner and the seasoned witch or pagan alike. You can get all of the ingredients easily (many can be found around your house). There is sound advice on ethics, your true motive, use of colour, the phases of the moon and the 5 elements, and tables of correspondences (days of the week and elements) plus a lunar calendar. All the instructions are easy to follow and foolproof. And SAFE - a teenager or older child could do them (supervised if necessary where lit candles are involved).
The sections I was most interested in were LOVE and PROSPERITY (the others were career, health, home, friends family and neighbours), and the introductions to these chapters dealt with your own attitudes and emotional wellbeing before presenting a wide selection of appropriate spells. There was also a section telling you how to make up your own spells. This explains, with examples, that as there are many ways of looking at things, so there are many ways of constructing a good spell.
Last but not least, there is a bookmark gizmo with which you can discover extra hidden information to potentise your magic workings. Not just a gimmick (though a neat one), this symbolises the fact that in magic, as in nature, as in life, there is always the beyond...
Beautifully illustrated, soundly written, this book would make a lovely gift for almost anyone (but I couldn't wait and bought my own copy).
