Review
In Candle Magick, J. E. Auer takes the reader through the history of magical candle use in the West, explains the various systems of planets, hours, and astrological signs; and discusses several directions that can be taken with oils, plants, carvings, and working with the Tarot. Once this ground work is set, Auer then walks the reader through several types of ritual, explaining why things are done, while detailing what actions should be performed. Diagrams for eight different rituals are included to help the beginner get started. Candle Magick is inspired by the neo-Pagan Earth religions, is ideal for the novice beginner, and is a splendid addition to all metaphysical reference book collections. -- Midwest Book Review
