The Best date book out there for Pagans 5 out of 5 stars.
5 of 5 people found this review helpful.

I use this book each year and cannot say enough great things about it. I love the illustrations and the interesting articles are usually about arcane or unusual subjects. Jennifer Dallas Cobb's recipes are to die for, too! I use this book as a journal,too. There is just enough space to note waht you have done, how it works, etc. Llewellyn does it again!

I Predict A Winner 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

Being a Professional Psychic Medium and Ghost Hunter, I was immediately intrigued with Madelyn Alt's books. Unlike other fiction books out there with psychics and ghost hunters in it, these books are REAL. Madelyn does her research and knows what she writes. Along with being entertaining, having some fantastic characters and a plot to die for (no pun intended), I rate this book 1 million stars. I can't wait for the next one..and then the next...and then....

Bewitching book 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

This is the number 4 in the Bewitching Mystery series and it is by far the best. I'm impressed at the improved quality of the writing as well as the progression of the characters especially Maggie. When I first started this series, Maggie was too immature, whiny, and annoying, but I've stuck with the series because I saw it's potential. In this fourth book we see that life in Stoney Mill, Indiana, is getting more exciting for Maggie her family and friends. Stony Mill is undergoing a change. Even Tom, Maggie's sometimes cop boyfriend, has noticed that there is an unusual amount of trouble in Stony Mill. Now even her very pregnant, bed ridden, gossipy sister, Mel, has a ghost in the house and she begs Maggie to help her get rid of it, so Maggie, Liss and Marcus go to her house and do their magic. Instead of being discreet, Mel gossips about the "witches" and Stony Mill residents now know there are witches at Enchaments. There is another storyline involving one of Mel's friends and her murdered husband. Maggie, Tom and Marcus together solve this mystery. Maggie's love life is still complicated and she feels torn between Tom and Marcus, and although there is no resolution to this story angle, we are provided a hint at the end of the book. One very cute addition to the series is Maggie's new kitten....adorable! All in all a fun, entertaining, well written addtion to the series. I look forward to the next Bewitching Mystery.

Editorial Review:

Maggie O’Neill reluctantly volunteers to care for her bedridden, oh-so-perfect sister, Mel, but strange spirits threaten to divert her attention. Then a friend of Mel’s loses her husband to a dreadful fall, and the police call it an accidental death. Maggie’s not so sure, and sets her second sights on finding a first-degree murderer.

A MUST for All Wiccans and Pagans 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

This book is just simply wonderful. Scott Cunningham was a truly wonderful man and fellow Wiccan, no matter if you are new to Wicca or have been practicing for many years, this and all of his books are a must!!! )O(

Excellent book for beginners........ 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

I did some research online before purchasing Scott Cunningham's book and found that it came highly recommended. As someone who is just learning about Wicca I have found this book to be informative, reassuring, and very straightforward. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to follow the Wiccan path, or is researching the Old Ways, especially if, like me, you live somewhere where it is just about impossible to find anyone to teach you.

Editorial Review:

Wicca: A Guide for the Solitary Practitioner is the essential primer from one of the best known authors on Wicca. Focusing on the importance of individualism in your spiritual path, Cunningham explains the very basics of Sabbats (holy days), ceremonies, altars, and other nuts and bolts of Wicca that a solitary practitioner may have trouble finding elsewhere. While Wicca shouldn't be your sole point of reference when considering Wicca as your way of life, it is one of the best starting points. --Brian Patterson

There once was a big, blue book... 2 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

I think this book is great if you want a how-to book on creating things, or a book about how much Mr. Buckland adores himself. In the beginning of the book he said that it was a non-denominational guide, but to be honest, it was closest to Gardnarian or of course, Seax-Wica. He also said that anyone who reads it fully will be a Third Degree. That's all we need is a bunch of 16 year olds telling me how they're Third Degree in Seax-Wicca.
The book was bland and filled with much of "Do whatever feels right to you", but then is countered with "you must not purchase something from a store" or "You must put your altar in the east" in the next sentence. He also gives you a how-to manual on how to create magickal items, but not many of us have circular saws or power sanders, not to mention engravers or etchers. To me, this book was not helpful, and I throughly recommend to anyone that despairs when they read this book to drop it and head to the closest copy of Wicca: A Guide for the Solitary Practitioner.

Love and Light,
Chicory

Editorial Review:

This 1986 classic is not only an excellent introduction to the Wiccan religion and earth-based religions in general, it's also a workbook that can take the serious student to the equivalent level of third-degree Gardnerian. Though Raymond Buckland was a student of the late great Gerald Gardner, this manual does not adhere to a specific branch or denomination of witchcraft, but rather seeks to teach the elements and philosophies common to all, whether Celtic, Saxon, Finnish, or what have you. Buckland is credited with bringing the "old religion" to the U.S., and covens and solitary witches practicing the craft in the U.S. today have him to thank for getting it out of the closet. While Buckland's Complete Book of Witchcraft is a must-have for any serious Wiccan practitioner, it is full of down-to-earth spiritual wisdom, which makes it a wonderful addition to the library of any broadminded seeker on the path toward the One. --P. Randall Cohan

Editorial Review:

Do you work magic with herbs? Do you use them in spells, for talismans or simply use their innate powers? If you don't have Cunningham's Encyclopedia of Magical Herbs, you need to get it right away. This book has become a classic in its field. Paul Beyerl, a respected author on herbs calls it "…an essential reference book by students of herbalism and magick alike … Scott's personable charm touches every page… I highly recommend this book." And Jeanne Rose, famous author of books on herbs and developer of an herbal course says "I love books like this … It is accessible, easy to read, and with its encompassing index (all too often neglected), simple to use as well." Over 200,000 people already have this book and use it frequently.
In this edition of the book (it's expanded and revised on the 15th anniversary of original publication) you will find the magical properties and folklore of over 400 herbs! You'll also find lists of herbs based on their magical powers, their genders, their planetary rulers, and more. Perhaps the most important list is the folk name cross-reference. With that information, when a recipe calls for "bramble, " you'll know it needs blackberry. Or if the magic calls for "enebro," you'll know you that is juniper.
The main part of this book is the listings of the herbs. Each one includes names, associations, and magical attributions. Violets can be used for protection, luck, love, and more. Primrose is for protection and love. Garlic is for protection, healing, exorcism, lust, and prevention of theft.
This book is considered a classic. It is probably consulted more than any other book on this subject. If you want to learn the secrets of magical herbs, this book is a must!

The Complete Book of Incense, Oils and Brews (Llewellyn's Practical Magick)

Editorial Review:

One of the secrets of real magic is that it is controlled by the mind. The more things in your ritual to help your mind associate with your goal, the more powerful your ritual may be. Colored candles, scented oils, natural incenses, and more all add to the impact of the magic you wish to do.
But how do you know which incense to burn? Is it possible to add scented oils together to get a more powerful oil? And how do you make your own, appropriately-scented tools?
The answers to questions like these and hundreds more can be found in The Complete Book of Incense, Oils & Brews by world-famous author Scott Cunningham. This is a greatly expanded and rewritten version of The Magic of Incenses, Oils and Brews. It includes over 100 new formulas, proportions for each element of the recipes (the most requested feature from his previous book), how to substitute ingredients, and much more. Besides the formulas, it also includes the exact methods of making all of these scented tools, including how to extract the essences from the herbs.
Each one of the formulas is precise and easy to make. Do you need luck? Take 2 parts vetivert, 2 parts allspice, 1 part nutmeg, and 1 part calamus, grind them together as finely as possible, then sprinkle the powder in a circle around you, beginning and ending in the East and moving clockwise. Sit within this circle and absorb the powder's energies. Also included are other ways to use magical powders that will have you coming up with your own ideas for them, too.
There is a legion of recipes for incenses. There are three for the sun and two for consecrating talismans. There are incenses for each of the astrological signs and ones to help you study better and gain success. You'll also find incenses for each of the planetary influences. There are four for Saturn alone!
This compendium of magical lore is a vital tool for every magical person on any magical path, whether you are a beginner or an expert.

Better than Cunningham 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 1 people found this review helpful.

Nothing personal against Scott Cunningham; I'm just not a big fan of his writing style--I got through three of his books in just under twenty minutes; there was nothing to hold my attention or call for deeper reading. I liked this one mch better--well enough, in fact, to loan it to friends. The writing is clear, concise, and informative; this is the best beginners' book I've picked up on the Craft thus far.

Editorial Review:

Due to the sheer number of Wicca 101 books on the market, many newcomers to the Craft find themselves piecing together their Wiccan education by reading a chapter from one book, a few pages from another. Rather than depending on snippets of wisdom to build a new faith, Wicca for Beginners provides a solid foundation to Wicca without limiting the reader to one tradition or path.
Embracing both the spiritual and the practical, Wicca for Beginners is a primer on the philosophies, culture, and beliefs behind the religion, without losing the mystery that draws many students to want to learn. Detailing practices such as grounding, raising energy, visualization, and meditation, this book offers exercises for core techniques before launching into more complicated rituals and spellwork.
