Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

There are many who believe top corporate managers dabble in witchcraft. And just as many are convinced that a little magic in business can work well. Dolnick, ex-advertising executive turned mystic, shows both doubters and fans alike 40 easy spells to conjure during good and bad times. Every chapter begins with personal stories and includes an outline of the basics--the scope of each spell. The actual description of each spell consumes one or two pages, and each is designed for a very specific reason--for instance, starting a business or maintaining continued growth. Barbara Jacobs

4.0 out of 5 stars An effective tool in the search for prosperity., August 5, 2001

This review is from: Simple Spells For Success: Ancient Practices for Creating Abundance and Prosperity (Hardcover)

I really enjoyed this book. I own a lot of spell books and what separates this from all the others is its simplicity. Dolnick tells you why you are doing the spell and exactly how and when to do it. The only thing I found missing was a further explanation as to why particular flowers or herbs were used and if we could substitute (i.e., some flowers are expensive and not always in season). There is little-to-no spiritual reference in this book so you do not have to be Wiccan or Pagan to appreciate it (Wiccans/Pagans may miss the witchy atmosphere as I did at first); Dolnick mainly relies on astrological information and herb/color lore - again, without much explanation (my opinion, the only failing of the book). If you like your spells with a little more flexibility, you may feel a bit constrained. I like that there are spells to work during the waxing and waning moons and that prosperity can be about letting go of fear as well as drawing opportunities. I am very glad that I purchased this book.

I was a bit skeptical about this at first, but my head is still reeling from the wonderful outcome of my first few attempts. Ms. Dolnick has really done a great job of combining mysticism and common sense for us beginner pagans! :)

I love this book. It's simple, it's easy to read, the spells are uncomplicated (and, in my opinion, the more powerful for it), and effective.

Spellwork is often shrouded in mystery, fraught with complication, made obscure. Dolnick gives us spells for real life, and they work! The theory is explained well and the spells are for things we all seek. Don't hesitate, go for it!
