4.0 out of 5 stars Good book, April 10, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Simple Spells for Hearth and Home: Ancient Practices for Creating Harmony, Peace, and Abundance (Hardcover)

It seems to me that the majority of spell books on the market focus on love and prosperity, almost to the exclusion of anything else. With that in mind it's refreshing to see a spell book promoting harmony and happiness, especially in the home, where unfortunately it is oftentimes lacking. This book covers practical advice, correspondence tables and spells for moving in, safety, nurturing and love, health and joy for grandparents, coziness, healing, and finding buyers. I especially like the section on mood shifting for fire, earth, air and water signs. The last portion of the book covers spells for holidays - traditional and "nature" (read: pagan). I thought the spells for the Sabbats were very lacking and that's why I took off one star... However, if you are looking to bring harmony to your living space, this is a book you should seriously consider, along with the Magical Household by Scott Cunningham and David Harrington.

This review is from: Simple Spells for Hearth and Home: Ancient Practices for Creating Harmony, Peace, and Abundance (Hardcover)

I enjoyed this book very much and expect to use it quite often in the future. It's like Feng Shui but easier to understand and incorporate. I only wish there were more general spells (like how to create coziness, etc.) in the book.
