From Booklist

Stop that eye rolling! Stop it right now! This book is lots better than you think. Oh yeah, there are spells in it, like one, for instance, that involves Thursday during a waxing moon, purple candles, mirrors, and bowls of water--that sort of thing. But there are also excellent chapters on the ways in which our self-esteem encourages others to appreciate our value or discourages them, on the need for space between romances so that unresolved issues from one do not afflict the next, and on the strong likelihood that real love won't come in the packages we predesign. All of this is very good, commonsense stuff that we can never hear often enough, and the kind of person who checks out this book may well need Dolnick's hard-nosed but kindhearted advice more than the spells. (By the way, that spell mentioned earlier? It attracts romantic prospects, should you need them.) Patricia Monaghan --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

This review is from: Simple Spells for Love: Ancient Practices for Emotional Fulfillment (Hardcover)

this book did not offer a lot of really good spells.most of these spells were all for the same thing.and most of them were also for two people who are already together.i was looking for a book that offered many different types of love spells for different purposes, so i was kind of disappointed with this book.

If you are meant to be with the one you love this book will help you accomplish it. If you follow the authors directions to the letter you can not fail. Her instructions are simple just like the title. I found this book very helpful and full of valuable information that any begginer or expert could use.

I enjoyed this book for the realistic attitude taken by the author. Love spells are sometimes a desprate attempt to hold onto a dying relationship. This book offers some soild advise on taking a good look at yourself, your partner, and the relationship before you preform your spell.

Ingredients needed are fairly accessible and the spells are not complicated. Most items can be found at local stores. The clearing spells are excellent. I found them to be useful in ridding myself of the not only the specified roadblocks, but the day to day "dust" as well. The reactions from these clearing have ranged from mild to intense. Be sure to read carefully and follw instructions.

Do the other spells in this book work? Too soon to tell.

A very positive experience and great addition to your library.
