3.0 out of 5 stars Great Gift!, September 7, 2000

This review is from: Goddess in My Pocket: Simple Spells, Charms, Potions, and Chants to Get You Everything You Want (Paperback)

This book is a great little quick reference guide. While I am not an experianced "witch" I am interested in magic and believe it works. This book would be a great gift for someone who is interested in magic but doesn't know where to start. The simple spells are user-friendly and fun. Plus, because the author uses everyday things in her spells, you don't have to run all over trying to find unusual ingredients!

5.0 out of 5 stars A little book with a big heart!, June 1, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Goddess in My Pocket: Simple Spells, Charms, Potions, and Chants to Get You Everything You Want (Paperback)

This is one of those great little books that seem to "find" you at the right time, it did me, anyway! For such a small book it packs a lot of useful ideas, mini-spells, inspiration and general ways to carry magic (although I prefer 'magick') and the Goddess in your heart and soul with you wherever you go and whatever you do, simply. Sometimes it's hard to incorporate a little magick into our everyday lives, and for me, working in the corporate world, I end up leaving my spirituality at the door between 8 and 5. This little gem gives ideas and ways to avoid doing just that, but simply and discreetly (if you don't burn rosemary incense at work as suggested, unless your work at home, that is!) This book starts with a chapter called "Carrying the Magic" and ends with "Magic in Your Pocket" with sections relating to everyday life in between, such as the home, office, relationships, traveling, etc. I flipped open the book right to the "Magic in the Office" section and was sold right there. Of course, not all of these "mini-spells" and suggestions can be useable for everyone, depending on your own individual needs or situation, but use what you want and as with all magic(k), it is a very personal and individual choice; do what feels right for you.

I plan on buying many more of these books to give as gifts to friends and family who need or want a little bit of magic(k) in their lives!

Blessed Be.

5.0 out of 5 stars HUH? There's no "Bewitched" in here - just BEWITCHING!, July 29, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Goddess in My Pocket: Simple Spells, Charms, Potions, and Chants to Get You Everything You Want (Paperback)

Did you read the same book I did? It's WONDERFUL! The humor keeps everything in balance, and there's nothing hocus pocus here -- just some fresh, fun spells that use everyday items (no eye of newt, and no political wiccan broo-ha-ha).
