I only got a chance to flip through this book. But I thought it was brilliant. Some folks need to be put in thier place and words don't always do the trick. Cat callers need to learn that it's not cool to harrass us chicks on the street. Folks shouldn't borrow stuff without returning it. Not all folks follow the codes of common courtesy. I'm beginning to see hexes as a means for protecting one's self. Setting psychic boundaries, is a more PC way to phrase it. I found this book both fun and amusing, I'd recommend it for a witch who's in tune with her dark side but who's more intent on teaching someone a lesson than causing one to suffer. Whether or not you actually use these spells, I think that just reading this book would be theraputic if you feel wronged. It's written with a sense of humor...and should cheer you up.

This is book is cool for the type of person who doesn't like to get over things that happend. It's fun to play tricks and fun for revenge. Get this book.

Here is another of those little books off the discount shelf that called me to review it. I'm always up for a good old fashioned Book of Hexes.

But I am disappointed. First of all, no Table of Contents. Second, no index. So this is a "hunt through and see if what you are looking for is in here" book. Messy and time consuming. I like my books to have at least a Table of Contents, so I can find what I am looking for in a hurry.

So I started leafing through the book. Again, big disappointment. First Hex- "Hex to Humble Techno Snobs". Hmmm... someone has issues with people who know more about computers than they do. Even the incantation is a bit... off. And it tends to go on and on.

OK, moving right along, we have a hex "For People Who Always Tell the Ends of Movies or Books". How droll. This person needs to find some new folks to hang with. Where are the real hexes?

Next one is "A Spell for People Who Always One-Up You". Gee, this person has some serious people issues to work out, doesn't she? Personally, so far, these folks are not worth the energy to do a hexing on. I went on and started looking for a real "meat and potatoes" type of hex on someone who really deserves it.

There is one for "Someone who Cuts You Off on the Road". Beep your horn, make the sign of the horns and a lame incantation. Honk the horn to send the hex. Hmmmm... very lame.

"To Banish a Troublesome Co-Worker or Acquaintance" she does "doll magic" with a paper doll. Novel but the incantation again is lame. Interesting use of "doll magic" but it needs a little punch.

Seems some of the situations in this book suggest using a hex rather than calling 911 or seeing a lawyer. Sexual Harassment is a court case with a large cash settlement in my book. Stalkers are more repelled by a court restraining order than by a hex. Or use both, and make sure your hex involves specific body parts.

The hexes in this book lack real punch. The author's incantations limp in some places, stretch for a rhyme in others. Unruly neighbors should get a call to 911, not a hex. A couch potato should be dumped off the couch and told to move - to another house. A hateful letter deserves more than ashes and a feather returned to sender. It deserves at least a real poison pen letter in return.

And now I pass this along to you, so you don't make the same mistake. This book is not worth it at any price. Not even as a give away or a joke.

As for a hex on someone who sells a bad book, nope, not really worth it. But it does rate a review, which in this case is my "hex" on this book. boudica

this is an excellent spell book. easy to use, easy to read, easy to protect whats yours...my favorite is the "people who steal your parking spot" i am handicapped and when i see someone in that spot without a tag or not handicapped using someone elses tag, this is excellent to cast. i have used others to stop neighbors from talking about me and copying my ideas from my garden to my holiday decor. this is a must have book

I FOUND THIS TO BE AN EASY BOOK TO UNDERSTAND FOR ADVANCED PEOPLE OR BEGINNERS LIKE ME. HOWEVER, I WISH THERE WOULD BE SOME MORE COMMON SPELLS WE COULD USE ON AN EVERYDAY BASIS, ALTHOUGH THERE ARE A FEW THAT I COULD USE DAILY. I THINK ITS A GOOD BOOK TO PUT IN YOUR "SPELL" AND "WITCHCRAFT" COLLECTION.

Or should I simply say, "BULL****!"

I am not sure whether or not this book is supposed to be funny or serious, but it misses the mark in both cases.

I am particularly insulted that this book is for women, which implies that only women wish to pursue and avenge such petty issues as people who cut one off in traffic or people who tell the end of movies or books.

Not only does this book trivialize women, it also makes a mockery of the craft itself. Spells and hexes shouldn't be easy, nor should they be used so frivolously.

Why would anyone in her right mind wish to risk the Rule of Three just to put a techno snob in his or her place? What self-respecting woman would have such a problem with whistlers and hummers, people who are always on the phone, bad haircuts or people who talk during movies that she can't simply walk away or deal with the issue in a forthright and intelligent manner?

The only purpose this book could ever have would be to serve as a spurious panacea for women who are insecure, spiteful and narrow-minded. In keeping with its theme, the book should also include a hex for people who suggest such absurdity and then profit from it.

I doubt that many who buy this book will actually read the disclaimer that states that the book is just for laughs. In fact, judging by reviews that were written by other readers ("...the spells were so simple and easy to follow...") I know that many have not.

Witchcraft or Wicca or anything of the sort is not supposed to be simple or easy and by nature it requires much in-depth thought and quite a bit of thorough knowledge and commitment.

There must be hundreds of books that have been written which entertain similar thoughts and helpful hints and there must be thousands of hexes and spells that truly can lead to enlightenment and satisfaction; however, the offerings in this book this book don't even come close.

This book os cute. I love the small size and it's a perfct gift for a girlfriend whoes feeling one of life's little downers. Witch or not.
