I also wrote a review of Easy Enchantments by the same author and some of my comments in regard to that book are repeated here. I am not Wiccan and don't purport to be especially informed about Wiccan traditions and rituals. I can see how a practised Wiccan might find some of the author's spell recipes too simplistic, but, as a lover of kitchen and folk witchcraft, I think they're both evocative and, on the whole, effective.

The author is a superb writer able to coax a quality of tactile, enjoyably sensuous mystery from her descriptions and anecdotes. As far as I'm concerned, that in itself is magical. After reading the book I became much more aware of the esoteric properties inherent in all kinds of everyday foods and products, which caused me to feel more connected with the "magically vibrational" potential of my quotidian surroundings.

I tried the Preservation Spell when I was really depressed about my future and not sure where to focus my energies or whether to give up trying to be an artist. About an hour after doing the spell I went out for a walk and found a beautiful leather bookmark lying on the sidewalk printed with the words "Man cannot exist without dreams and dies if he gives them up". I know this may not sound like much but it definitely answered my question.

I've tried quite a few of the other spells. Not all of them have worked but most of them have in some form or another.

Lexa Rosean does it again with a tried and true volume of spells designed to give the user "the magical edge" - total brilliance! She unknowingly wooed and wowed me with her Everything Bagel Spell in particular - touched my heart and soul as only she can, with her unique and down-to-earth voice that resonates with any real witch. This volume is a great addition to any Wiccan library and for those just starting to get familiar with the Craft, there can be no better guide than this third degree High Priestess that has decades of experience and perhaps more than her share of talent in communication! A wonderful book that I will never part with.

This is a very nice Kitchen Witch book. Do not skip over the Introduction, it is excellent. The book is full of spells to assist the business person. I am particularly impressed with the history and folklore attached to many of the spells. I have tried a couple of them and they worked very well. Although I did "charge" my ingredients first with my "intent". This is not mentioned in the book. As with any spell book, one size doesn't fit all. So some of the spells may not be useful to you. Overall I rated the book a full five stars for creativity and accuracy. Kudos to the author for a job well done!

Another great book by Lexa Rosean. Yes the everything bagel spell works. I always do this before a big sales presentation. I have used many of the spells inside to much success.

In response to another poster with their unsuccess, well... we all know the ingredient that makes a successful spell is "intent". I would question my own efforts first and not the writer. It sounds to me like you went in thinking it wouldn't work, therefore drawing that energy to you. Personal observation and opinion only.

I would like to thank Lexa for writing books that have brought prosperity and love to my life. This book has been great for my career. I personally recommend spells therein for some additional job security in such a touch-and-go economy.

5 Stars is not enough for Lexa Rosean. I can't wait for her new books. This book is again a must have for your library. It is beyond great. Easy powerful spells that work! She even gives you ideas on substitues, resources, etc. Lexa even makes herself available to her readers. You can talk with her personally in a phone call! Who does that! If you can only get one book. GET THIS ONE.

I read this book and found it to be just that; hoakey. I have even attempted some of the spells in it and well; they in no way shape or form worked. I have worked with many forms of magic & well this is just not it. It is good for a few laughs through her stories. I do believe that this is a good book to read, but for performing magic that will truly work, this is not the book.

My main point of contention with this book is that more than a few of the spells are Santeria based, which tend to operate from a lower, darker platform . Sorry(not really) for not being PC, and respecting all traditions, but let's face it, Santeria deals with low-rent entities.

Also, there should be some sort of introductory text for those new to witchcraft. It should be explained that one's results will be much more effective (or just plain effective) if the herbs, foods, etal. are charged, and a circle is cast before taking part in these rituals. Eating an uncharged radish salad isn't going to put the world at your feet. I also think the author should have added something about burning appropriately colored candles while carrying out the spells.

As critical as I've just been, there are good pointers in this book that are certainly helpful, but your results will be much better if you're someone who understands the basics of witchcraft because you will have a book full of spells on which you can elaborate, and then you'll really be cooking.

I got this quite a while ago so I am going on memory but I found the spells in this book to be neither powerful nor actually spells. I believe this woman was known as the Supermarket Witch or something where she claimed that all you needed to cast spells was in your grocery store? That is like saying all you need to do surgery is in your Walgreen's. That is not the case at all with magick. It is a course of extremely intensive study which continues over a lifetime. Books like this are just sold by publisher's using magick to make a buck. They are ridiculous, ultimately.
