5.0 out of 5 stars a true classic, November 11, 2002

This review is from: Witch's Grimoire of Ancient Omens, Portents, Talismans, Amulets, and Cha (Paperback)

For the life of me I can't understand what the criticisms of this book are about. Sure everyone has a right to their opinion but the negative review(s) of this book don't make sense. I've looked over many books on wicca and witchcraft and the Frosts are about the only good ones. I have several of their books such as Astral Travel and the magic power of witchcraft which I consider to be truly great books. This book deals with the making of talismans and amulets, how to observe omens and portents, a truly magical method of meditation, how to keep healthy with talismans, ward off evil, etc. There are also several suggestions on making and using talismans and amulets for every need you have. The many books on witchcraft written have little substance, while the Frosts books are full of substance. In parting let me offer a word to the wise. Ophiel wrote in his book: The theory and practice of creative visualization I believe, that all the secrets of the occult are all in books. Only those who deeply study them and get behind the meaning of the words will find them. If this is true there are really only few true occultists and the Frosts appear to be among them. Most are missing the forest for the trees.

This review is from: Witch's Grimoire of Ancient Omens, Portents, Talismans, Amulets and Charms (Hardcover)

This book is a great instruction book on how to make many Wiccan tools. It is thorough prescribing exact measurements and is well used on our bookshelf at home.

5.0 out of 5 stars Examines the secret codes, symbols and charms, February 10, 2003

By 

Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Witch's Grimoire of Ancient Omens, Portents, Talismans, Amulets, and Cha (Paperback)

Two leading authorities in the occult provide in A Witch's Grimoire, a revised, updated collection which examines the secret codes, symbols and charms which are the foundation of white magic. Individual chapters describe how these amulets and spells can relate to a positive daily life, and provide new charts and artwork in this new and highly recommended edition.
