Worth Every Last Penny.,
This review is from: The Complete Book of Magic And Witchcraft: Revised Edition (Signet) (Paperback)
After reading the negative reviews about this book I was really shocked by the shallowness of those wiccans who claim to know everything about anything. Come on! This book is a comprehensive guide, it's got loads of spells, incantations, charms, and it has a variety of purposes. Plus, you get a complete herb listing which no witchcraft book thought to include. Wiccans should keep silent about books that dont pertain to their so called religion. Witchcraft is the origin, and it doesnt have to twist according to their needs. Any negative review about such book is completely thoughtless. This book is an excellent guide.

This review is from: The Complete Book of Magic And Witchcraft: Revised Edition (Signet) (Paperback)
This small book, which has been in print continuously since 1970, is a great resource for any mage or witch. Packed with hundreds of spells, incantations, talismans, and charms -- most of them gleaned from European, Middle-Eastern, and Indian books dating to the Middle Ages or earlier -- this volume can be used as a grimoire in its own right, especially by newbies. In addition, because the spells are annotatated by source and there is a lengthy bibliography, the book also functions as a pointer to the rare, scholarly, and out-of-print texts the author consulted and which the advanced student will wish to read. Don't let the small size and low price turn you off -- this is a valuable grimoire worth at least twice its cost.

Praise for Paulsen,
This review is from: The Complete Book of Magic And Witchcraft: Revised Edition (Signet) (Paperback)
It's nice to see works like this in print which aren't filled with fluffy bunny nonsense. This book is a nice, simple, compact collection of folk lore, recipes, spells, and incantations. I especialy liked the author's collection of herb and stone lore which touches on true folk remedies rather than new age fluff.
