This review is from: Candle Therapy: The Magical Guide to Life Enhancement (Paperback)

Rather than spending hundreds of dollars and being taken by counterfeit fortune tellers, buy this book. It shows how different colored candles serve different purposes, and how through concentration and candle burning you can bring good things into your life, uncross yourself, and resolve your own problems. Many of the basic remedies in this book are similar to those that fortune tellers try to charge you hundreds of dollars to perform. You can do it yourself.

Whether you are spiritual or not, believe in luck or not, this is a good book to add positive vibes into your environment.
