Book Description

December 29, 2004
"Curott gives us a glimpse into a passionate lover's journey into sexual magic and freedom of spirit. This exciting life story is an inspiring journey into the soul of love.”--Margot Anand, author of The Art of Everyday Ecstasy

In the highly anticipated sequel to her acclaimed memoir, Book of Shadows, Phyllis Curott explores the power of magic to manifest love in a captivating mix of love story, spirituality, Wiccan spell book, and erotica.

This is the story of a love spell that worked. Ivy League lawyer and Wiccan priestess Phyllis Curott has a supercharged career in law and filmmaking, but one thing is missing: love. She casts a sexy spell, and her dream lover soon arrives. But he’s not who he appears to be and there are unforeseen consequences. In this hip, compelling tale of spiritual and sexual awakening, she must seek the aid of an otherworldly suitor, a daemon, to discover how modern relationships and their problems are paths to the greatest magic of all—true love. This wise and erotic memoir is rich with spells, potions, and rituals for love. The author shares accessible techniques of sexual magic for the accomplishment of personal goals and growth, revealing how sexual ecstasy can lead to the discovery of our innate divinity and an empowered life. BACKCOVER: Advance Praise for The Love Spell

“Skillfully intermingling sex and spells, magical techniques and enjoyable prose, Curott returns with a fascinating, highly entertaining read about personal magic as a part of life, love, and empowerment.”--Raymond Buckland, author, The Witch Book, Wicca For One

"The Love Spell casts a spell of its own. An honest, compelling account to which every woman alive can relate! Phyllis Curott's writing feeds the readers' soul."--New York Times bestselling Author Maggie Shayne, author of BLUE TWILIGHT

Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

"I'd been raised to believe that the irrational was illusory, even dangerous," Wiccan high priestess Curott explains. As a 20-something Manhattan law student, she didn't know why she felt a curious connection with a statue of the Libyan Sibyl at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. After she started studying with a circle of "women who called themselves Witches," it began to make sense. As a sage named Nonna explained, Curott was being called by her "daemon," who soon materialized as Derek, a sexy visitor to the Wiccan/Pagan bookstore where her circle met. Curott cast a love spell, resulting in hot sex with Derek. Convinced he was her true love, she pushed for a marriage ceremony. Alas, even priestesses schooled in the arts of love can't necessarily keep romantic passion from burning out after a few months. When things fell apart with Derek, Curott tried focusing on self-realization, but she still longed for his love. Nonna dispensed great wisdom—how we confuse love and passion, how we must love ourselves before we love others—but Curott's readers must wait until the last pages for her Mr. Right to arrive. Those curious about contemporary Wiccan beliefs and practices will find this an engrossing introduction, provided they're willing to wade through the occasional discourse on the "journey to wholeness... masculine energies... feminine sensuality" and, naturally, some fairly explicit erotic interludes.

From Booklist

Cross Sex and the City and charmed, and you have Curott's latest autobiographical effort, in which the author of the best-selling Book of Shadows (1998), about her initiation into Wicca, describes how magic came to her aid in finding romance. A high-powered real-estate lawyer in New York, she seemed to have no luck with men until she applied the magic she had learned. Very soon, she met the man of her dreams. Or was he? Even magic didn't work to keep the lovers together, not even the magic of a pagan handfasting ceremony that her rather conservative relatives found a bit disconcerting. At book's end, the marriage is over, and Curott is again sending out love spells; but the rituals and wisdom of her chosen religion have helped her see how important self-awareness and self-acceptance are, whether one is alone or in a couple. The book ends with (no surprise) a series of recipes for love spells that, one fervently wishes, readers will attempt only after absorbing all that Curott has to say. Patricia Monaghan

5.0 out of 5 stars Fascinating, Sexy, and Entertaining--all at once, January 6, 2005
By 
A. Peltier (Astoria, NY United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Love Spell: An Erotic Memoir of Spiritual Awakening (Hardcover)
I loved Ms. Curott's first memoir, BOOK OF SHADOWS, for the way she was able to tell an interesting story while imparting all manner of fascinating information--from feminist history to magical traditions to religious theory. She's done it again with THE LOVE SPELL. I was sucked into the story just as if it were a novel, but also learned all kinds of cool things like techniques of sex magic, more feminist history, relationship advice, and most importantly, the eroticism of spirituality (and vice versa).

I highly recommend this book for anyone who is longing for a fulfilling, loving relationship. And anyone who's looking for a great read!

5.0 out of 5 stars Not what I expected, January 4, 2005
By 
This review is from: The Love Spell: An Erotic Memoir of Spiritual Awakening (Hardcover)
This, the third of Phyllis Curott's books that I've read was more than I expected. Any woman (or man) who has ever longed to find their soulmate, should read this book. Anyone searching for love should read this book. It is not a love story, not in the typical sense -

While the first chapter was a little slow, I was totally engrossed by Chapter Two. "A Memoir of Spiritual Awakening" is an apt description of the story contained in the pages of this work.

Ms. Curott's descriptions of her spiritual and sexual growth are vivid and honest. I appreciate the honesty with which she shares her journey. Such openness and honest communication is rare in today's literature.

Read this book, you and the one you love will be inspired!

5.0 out of 5 stars a beautiful journey, February 8, 2005
By 
conscious consumer (Los Angeles, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Love Spell: An Erotic Memoir of Spiritual Awakening (Hardcover)
A good friend pointed this book out to me. And, I couldn't have read it at a more perfect time. Reading about Currott's journey instilled hope in me about my own path towards love, which includes self-love.

It's wonderful that Ms. Currott chose to include a rather helpful reference section in the back. While I am not Wiccan, I was inspired to cast some spells of my own! I was entranced by the artful creativity of the magical world that she describes and partakes in; we truly can find and or create beauty and magic in our own lives, if we choose.

I found this book nurturing, candid, inspirational, informational, and beautiful. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is looking for true love.

Thank you Ms. Currott for sharing and please keep on writing!
