5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Book for Ritual Creation, September 8, 2000

By 

Gwynalda (Denver, CO (Red Moon Mountain)) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Spell of Making (Paperback)

The Spell of Making tells you how to create wonderful, effective Pagan rites, step by step and as quickly as possible. It's a great resource for all those Witches out there who create rituals on a regular basis and want to make meaningful contributions to their Coven's BOS. {Those of you with carved-in-stone rituals probably won't find it too helpful, however.} Blackstone's sincerity and sense of humor make this book an enjoyable read. If you need recommendations for your "advanced" reading list, add this one!

5.0 out of 5 stars This book is a must have for any practicing Wiccan..., August 25, 2000

By 

"willowhawk" (Burlington, WA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Spell of Making (Paperback)

This book is a very well written book for any Wiccan to have, be they very experienced or a neophyte. Blacksun has the practical experience and knowledge to share with the Pagan community worldwide and he does so with this book. This is a book that I keep in my 'top 10 recommended books' for people seeking this path...yes, it is not an easy read. But, hard work makes the reward all the more valuable. In this day of fluffy bunny pagan books, it is wonderful to see books like this, that don't cater to the "cash factor". Thank you Blacksun for sharing this with us! I value my book immensely.

5.0 out of 5 stars An epiphany, August 3, 2001

By 

An older adult (Michigan) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Spell of Making (Paperback)

Blacksun, as no other author to my knowlege, has explained in great detail the how and why of ritual as well as spelled out instruction for constructing your own. I do have to agree with one point of other reviews that I have read on other books, most which I have read myself, in that they all pretty much have the same "fluffy" content. There is absolutely no "fluff" in this book. Take a look at what you claim to be your religion - a duality in deity and nature, as is addressed in all those "fluffy" books, would also suggest a duality in everything wouldn't it? Good and bad, light and dark. If you look hard enough, this book can help you keep them in balance and keep your life in balance.
