Here are a variety of spells that are not only easy to put together but workable with uncomplicated ingredients. Lexa's Magical Manner's are a well thought out guideline of how to work with this book. Kitchen Witches will especially like this book and it will make a nice addition to anyone's magical library.

This book is great for a first time witch. The spells work, with easy ingredients that you can buy at any store! With everything from "Health and Beauty", to "Banashing Evil". If you are into spells that work, this book is for you!

I love this book and refer to it all the time. I'm not a Wiccan but I believe in the potency of folk and kitchen witchcraft so the spells in here really hit the spot. First of all, the book is beautifully written: the author has a knack for imbuing each instruction and description with a quality of tactility and enjoyably sensuous mystery which is magical in itself. I like that she spends a lot of time drawing connections between the historical, nutritional and "vibrational" qualities of each ingredient, as well as weaving instructions with personal anecdotes and narratives. The author's humor also adds to the book, and I appreciate her encouraging readers to choose spells whose ingredients particularly resonate with them instead of creating fixed prescriptions.

I haven't tried all the spells but most of the ones I did try worked, albeit sometimes in unexpected ways. I can see how someone interested in the more formal aspects of Wiccan ritual might find this book too "simple", but I appreciate its eclecticism and democratic use of everyday ingredients, which don't take away from the power of the spells in my opinion.

If you have no experience with spells or are just getting started, Easy Enchantments is the way to go. It is a fun read, a great gift, and an invariably effective tool. I can say with all honesty of someone who was highly skeptical to begin with that never has one of Lexa's spells failed for me. It's not all smoke and mirrors, these are practical applications to your daily life that are fun, useful, and start you on the path to getting in touch with nature and its forces. Enjoy!

Many spellbooks make the reader- experienced or otherwise- feel overwhelmed by mysteries inacessible. Not this one. Easy Enchantments empowers the reader to utilize her/his own inherent abilities with no more than a trip to the supermarket and some concentration. The original "witch" worked from her kitchen with the supplies she had readily available. Who needs to spend hours searching for arcane ingredients to spice up their sex life when they have cinnamon on their spice rack? Ms. Rosean manages to teach and entertain all at once. Not to mention that the spells work! Good stuff!

Alright, I'll admit, I tried it...and it worked! It's an easy, amusing read with easy to follow instructions and simple to get ingredients. Fun for every one.

It is a pretty good book but half the stuff you need you don't have just "lying" around. A more appropriate title would be "A Stop To The Supermarket".

This book is pretty good , easy to follow spells with all the components that you need for spells in your spice cabinet. There are no hard to find ingredients just simple things right from your kitchen that Really work. I love this book

The book begins with a nice Introduction ending with the words "spells and their specific ingredients are also used to direct our will and to unlock our own subconscious power to create manifestation". These words are the key to appreciating the content of the book. Your belief in the effectiveness of the ingredients or "components" of a spell will determine the outcome. Magical Manners are covered next, some common-sense advice. This is followed by a mini-lesson in the aspects of the moon. Instead of chapters, the book is seperated by "sections" of which there are 18. Each section focuses on practical issues that people deal with daily, along with "spells" designed to "fix" the problem. As with anything in life there are some spells included that don't concern some people. One size doesn't fit all. However, overall there are some very creative ideas for dealing with life's little challenges. I rated the book 4 stars because in some of the spells the ingredients simply did not make any sense to me. I recommend the book as a good addition to the witch's library, with the caveat "do your own research" before spell casting.

This book is my very favorite. The spells are easy to do. The ingredients are easily available. Most of all they are extremely effective. If you are serious about doing spells that you can be confident about the outcome, I highly recomend this book
