1.0 out of 5 stars It Stinks, April 10, 2001

By 

Kashmir White (Los Angeles, California United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Magic Power of White Witchcraft Revised (Paperback)

This is the dumbest book I have read on Witchcraft so far. There is nothing in it about the spiritual aspects; all it talks about is how to dress for success at the office, how to impress your boss by wearing clothes you can't really afford, and how several of their anonymous "students" bought pig farms or invested in stocks because their spirit guides told them to. I know this book has been "updated for the new millenium;" this basically amounts to an introduction that tries to tie this old style mumbo jumbo stuff into the current pagan revival.

I do think it deserves one star because it does have some historical value -- the "non-millenium" version was written 30 years ago so it shows you how far the Craft has come and how not all forms of witchcraft were intelligent and spiritual. Also, I appreciate some of their advice about how to have a positive mental attitude and achieve material success. But mainly this book is idiotic. Don't waste your time, unless you're a Craft historian.

4.0 out of 5 stars I did not get why so many people disliked the book, until..., July 19, 2003

By 

Dr. Miranda (Michigan) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Magic Power of White Witchcraft Revised (Paperback)

I read the online reviews of this book about half way through it, and I honestly had no idea why so many people disliked the book. I was really enjoying it, and I was fully prepared to come online and give it 5 stars.

Now that I have finished the book though, I have had to reconsider my original plan.

Yes, the book is very good. I really enjoyed the first 200 pages or so. With short chapters on a vairety of topics such as spells, energy work, psychic healing, manifesting what you want in life, etc. the book reminded me of a 'new age' version of some of the popular self-help titles that are currently popular (power of your subconscious mind - Murphy; and Wayne Dyer titles come to mind).

However, I was completely unprepared for the last chapter, where wife-swapping as an act of spiritual salvation is espoused. This ideology was too much of a stretch for me, and it definately tainted my impression of the book.

In all, I would recommend this book, and I did enjoy reading most of it, but I would want to caution conservative readers that they may want to avoid reading the last part of the book.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not the best beginner book, July 25, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Magic Power of White Witchcraft Revised (Paperback)

The Frosts' original book was the impetus for many people who became Witches in past decades. As such, it is of interest to students of the growth of Wicca and Paganism.

However, its reliance on hard-to-find ingredients such as "raw linseed oil" is off-putting to today's beginner, who has many more options in finding a starter Witchcraft book. (Lilith McClelland's "Spell Craft" and Scott Cunningham's "Wicca: A Guide for the Solitary Practitioner" come to mind.)

In addition, at least one ritual calls for burning sulfur, which is highly dangerous indoors.
