When I play Coven13's Book of Shadows I know that the spirit of musical force is being evoked.Each song on this incredible CD is vivid and powerfilled , reaching into the very heart of magick itself.The Book of Shadows CD has got to be one of best CDs I have bought in a very very long Time.I swear the music , the stories , the people they write about are all alive and are just waiting to be found in all our hearts.WOW! Their songs would make great videos!

4.0 out of 5 stars Coven 13, with or without the "witch" hype - it's good music, January 17, 2001

I found Book of Shadows to be an interesting blend of many things. For the pagan, there are themes woven within the lyrics to satisfy. For the non-pagan there is great musical arrangement and thought provoking lyrics. The range of style in the music found on this CD proves the talents of those involved with creating it. One of the things I appreciate most is that the songs in both music and lyrics provoke thought. I have read recent negative reviews by "pagans" admonishing Coven 13 for not being "direct" enough with their "paganism". I have to disagree. I think by being less direct, they open the door to people who are also not pagan. Therefore not limiting themselves or their audience. I have to disagree with another couple of recent reviews (that really sound more like personal "sour grapes" than reveiws) that praise the singer and mock the musician. This CD, although far from perfect is well put together, the composer is obviously highly learned in her art and the singer is obviously talented as well. I'd recommend this CD to anyone who likes something new and doesn't mind having thought provoked while listening to great music.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Magikal Journey into a Magikal World, October 22, 1999

Stepping inside the Book of Shadows through Coven 13's eyes, I was immediately swept up by an enchanting whirl of emotions. The haunting sounds played with my mind while the mesmerizing words enveloped my soul. I felt like I was on a...well...Carnival Ride! Book of Shadows is indeed a must hear album. The feeling and energy put into these melodies will dive down into your deepest thoughts and open up the most closed mind. While all the songs tweaked my plaesure nerve, my favorite has to be Ophelia's Lament. This song made chills run down my spine and my heart beat double-time. A huge thank you to Teisen and Amanda for their music and energy.
