5.0 out of 5 stars Aspiring Wiccans Will Love This Book, April 9, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: The Teen Book Of Shadows: Star Signs, Spells, Potions, and Powers (Mass Market Paperback)

This book is extremely helpful for those interested in Wicca and the Craft. It gives you tips on how to tell your parents of your interest and how to answer the questions they'll have. It also gets you started on your Book of Shadows. Telesco gives you a few sample spells and rituals to get you started and to put in your Book. She also includes information about your star sign, such as "Aromas That Accent The Positive", "Love, Family and Friendship", "Power Colors", "Body Tips", "Clothes and Jewelry" and "The Future". She also includes a chapter on "Bedroom Feng Shui". There's also information on how to create your own spells. There are spells for relieving anger, calming your nerves before a class presentation, and many other helpful spells. I, personally, loved this book, and am planning on reading Patricia Telesco's "Your Book of Shadows" next.

This review is from: The Teen Book Of Shadows: Star Signs, Spells, Potions, and Powers (Mass Market Paperback)

I picked up this book from Indigo a couple of days ago (my first book on Wicca, although I've also been gathering info from the Internet over the last few months) and have read it through a few times -- it is fantastic! She includes a lot of information on many different subjects (candles, tools, feng shui, divination, astrology.....) which is what drew me to this book in the first place.
Also I like that she talks to teens like *TEENS* and not as tiny little children (I am fourteen in about a month and a bit), taking care to acknowledge that we, her readers, are fit to take responsibilty and that we know what is good for ourselves (...mostly).
The only problem I have with this book, is that she seems to skim over a couple of things -- only briefly going into the Sabbats and Esbats. (Each Sabbat has its meaning, etc., described in about two-three short sentences, and that's hardly sufficient.)

But besides that, is it worth getting? Sure is -- but don't make it your only resource. ;)
