4.0 out of 5 stars Don't judge this book by its cover. . ., July 11, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: The Witch And Wizard Training Guide (Paperback)

I am not new to spellcrafting, but I was feeling the need to give my practice a little boost. I headed to the bookstore and waited for a book to come to me. This one sort of dropped into my hands and didn't want to leave. I was sort of mortified by the Harry Potter references and put off by the cheesy cover art. But since I had "asked" for the right book to come to me, I took it home even though I would not have chosen it myself. Surprise! This is a great little handbook. It is simplified, but as someone already familiar with many magical techniques, I found the brevity refreshing. The techniques and perspective are solid and sound, but the BEST thing about this little book is that the spells can mostly be done using handy, everyday materials. Its a great little reference tool, compact but covering a wide range of magical subjects. Im glad I didn't judge this book by its cover.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Real life Harry Potter?, May 24, 2002

This review is from: The Witch And Wizard Training Guide (Paperback)

A friendly and appealing introduction to basic magic, and a true pleasure to read.

I liked the "Harry Potter" theme to the book while explaining what real magic truly is. However, in some instances I thought the Harry Potter theme went a bit far. For example, male Wiccans call themselves Witches, not "wizards." (At least she didn't use "warlocks.") I also didn't care for the "good magic, evil magic; good witches, evil witches" idea. Magic is magic. Like fire and water, it can save your life or kill you. And people are not always clear cut good and evil. Sometimes people will use magic in harmful ways (we're all human) but one mistake doesn't make you "evil."

Regardless, there's some very solid information in here, including some great potions. I had a lovely holiday afternoon reading this.
