A detailed, thoroughly researched, introduction to the methods and morals of practical magic. Full of anecdotes and words of wisdom from other witches, the Farrars have once again produced a work that appeals to the idle spiritual wanderer as well as to committed witches. Including spells from other lands, from our own history and not forgetting the ever popular love spells, this book is far superior to the ordinary high-street spell books as it conscientiously includes tips for psychic defence and the often abandoned ethics of spell casting that should not be ignored. Curses and will-imposing is strictly frowned upon. As a witch myself, I can assure you that this is an informative and entertaining read that handles it's subject with sensitivity and skill. This was one of the books that brought me into the happy world of paganism and I'm sure it will influence even the greatest of sceptics.

5.0 out of 5 stars FAB INFO ON THE BACKGROUND OF SPELLS, 24 Feb 2001

By A Customer

m*m, I've got a slightly older edition of this book but i think its still a great read. Its not a spell book lets get that straight, its a book that goes into detail about different types of spells and the history of them. They give some of the olde spells from 13th century to the present day and also gives the background and how to do them yourself. There are lots of stories not only from the Farrars themselves but other practicin witches, both in covens and solitaries. I love the way the Farrars can write and make you feel like your talkin to them. Also me being a Brit makes me pro too but they are lovin people and they were my first "touch" with Wicca and Witchcraft, so they hold a special place for me in my heart, soft spot like. Even though i am a teen solitary they are fab writers and dont say anywhere in here that covens are better than solitarys or vice versa and the stories help with understanding things. I send love and light to Janet and also to Stewart, may his next incarnation bring as much love and light to the amount he did this one! B*B

4.0 out of 5 stars very interesting, 11 Mar 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Spells and How They Work (Paperback)

the book is easy to understand and very usefull. you can find out how spells work very easily. the front cover i don't think is very interesting but that is only my opinion. very usefull for the novice and experianced. the other has done an incredible job.
