Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

Titania Hardie, the author of Hocus Pocus, proves again that a grimoire should be crafted with as much attention to beauty as to functionality. Bound in brushed red suede and illustrated with evocative photographs, Bewitched is as aesthetically pleasing as any work of art. Not to be overshadowed, however, are her equally beautiful spells. They encourage satisfaction with yourself, engender a positive attitude toward your future in love, and cultivate the best circumstances for finding, keeping, and nourishing love and romance--if you follow Hardie's admonition to keep your motives pure and your integrity intact (remember that everything returns to us threefold).

4.0 out of 5 stars Very good in parts, but lacking some important spells, July 6, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Bewitched: Titania's Book of Love Spells (Hardcover)

I think this book is visually stunning, the photographs being both atmospheric and sensual and the composition of the text with the photography is excellent. I think Ms Hardie writes well and the spells are presented in an interesting and mystical way. The only complaint that I have is that there were not any spells which cater towards people with more abstract 'love' problems. For instance, I would like to see a spell that aims at a reconcilliation with an old friend/lover. Most of the spells are not life changing spells, but rather simply aimed at 'improving' situations. I would have liked to see more 'radical' spells for those with an inclination for the unknow....

4.0 out of 5 stars Its a start!!, February 28, 1999

When I saw Titania had published another book I literally ran to the book shop. This goes into more detail than Hocus Pocus about other ways to enhance your magic, its less of a simple summary, or the play around with magic train of thought. However the spells aren't really that varied - about 4 for showing your partner's true feelings but none for, for example, making someone you like notice you out of the blue etc. I absolutely love the binding of the book (it really stes the scene) but maybe focuses too much on making it simple, and shes a bit too weary of mentioning the religion. But its a nice, useful book, and the spells are reasonably effective.

4.0 out of 5 stars Seeing is believing!, August 3, 2000

I bought Hocus Pocus because i was curious and soon after I bought Bewitched. Just like any other I was a little sceptic but I've tried a few spells and if you put your (true!) heart in to it, it certainly is effective! The two spells I love most is the nailfilings spell, to test the strength of your lovers affection and what also worked for me was the three woven ribbons to strengthen the bond. If you make the magic and the spells your own, it will work for you!
