I'd buy enough copies to fill my cupboard!, February 15, 2000
This review is from: Natural Magick: Inside the Well-Stocked Witch's Cupboard (Paperback)
With lucid explainations, NATURAL MAGICK answers questions for those just becoming farmiliar with magick and the Craft. With well-rounded insight, the book sorts through the well-stocked witch's cupboard and answers all the questions left over for the well-practiced in magick. Whether your looking for a reference guide or didactic text, Dubats satisfies both. The book goes through the many different facets of Wicca and Magick while interconnecting them with eachother and the world around us. Ever wonder why certain colors are associated with certain emotions? Or why ancient peoples used the same "tools" for ritual as we do today? NATURAL MAGICK answers these questions so that the reader may see the connection between the energy of magickal objects and the results that they can manifest. This approach really gives magic a deep spiritual meaning and made it "feel" right for me. Astrology, Tarot, Numberolgy, and Runes are all discussed. After reading Dubat's understanding of divination, you'll never again look at numbers, symbols, or colors in the same way. Perhaps my favorite part of the book is the author's acceptance of all ways, faiths, and practices and her teachings that follow accordingly. You can't go wrong!

Useful., October 26, 2000
This review is from: Natural Magick: Inside the Well-Stocked Witch's Cupboard (Paperback)
I found this book to be *very* useful, especially for Solitary practices. (Actually, I found it better than many books supposedly written for Solitaries.) It *does* get a little too "white light dreaminess" in some areas, but they don't come even close to the "fluffy bunny" garbage that gets printed so often these days. The best sections were those on runes, which describes a method of use and study that integrates them more easily into a more Wiccan-oriented practice. The herbal and crystal/stone section contains detailed information without dogma. Also useful were the energy descriptions for the individual Sabbats. The main drawback is that this book has no index, and the bibliography contains mostly "modern" books, with little reference to more scholarly works. But then, this is supposed to be a workbook, not a reference book. Best of all, it isn't put out by the Crescent Moon Gang. All in all, I consider this money well spent.

New to the Craft? This book is for YOU!, May 3, 2000
This review is from: Natural Magick: Inside the Well-Stocked Witch's Cupboard (Paperback)
Sally Dubats literary style is so reader friendly you can hardly put this book down. Her comprehensive compilation of necessary needs for the craft is easy to follow, and simple to implement. If you are interested in having a clear understanding of Wicca presented in a gentle flowing way read this book. This book should become a classic in Wicca tradition!
