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.

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.

This book has white magic in a nutshell.you will learn to fly through the air, change into an animal, find your spirit guide, cast your future, cast spells and brew potions for love,money,success,lust ,healing,psychic power, and fertility.
Wizards or witches of all ages will thoroughly enjoy this. The bibliography contains some of the best books out there! The author also discusses the greatest wizards and wizards of mythology,(i.e. Odin,Merlin,Harry Potter, Morgan LeFay, Lugh, Math Mathonwy and Gandalf). The book will delight Wiccans,aspiring dabblers, and harry Potter fans alike!
The teachings in this book are the true destiny of many children.

This is a very cool book. I'm a young wiccan woman, just beginning, and I got this book in the first bunch of books I bought. It has lots of stuff you can do right away. And it explains all sorts of ways to practice real magic. I liked the parts on shapeshifting and divination the best. If you want to know about magic and how to do it, try this book. I think its very cool.

When I first picked up this book, I thought it too good to be true. But after reading it, I am astounded by all the information that's in it. It is the closest thing to Harry Potter that I have read.

I was a little nervous when my son bought himself this book about magical training. The Harry Potter references were obvious in the title and in many of the chapter heading such as Divination and Defense Against the Dark Arts, but upon closer inspection I found this book to be a fairly accurate book about witchcraft and magic and not nearly as gimmicky as the title might suggest.

For instance, the Defense Against the Dark Arts chapter deals with the rede Harm None and the threefold law of what you send out come back to you threefold...in other words - don't think about using magic for revenge or to hurt someone.

Written in a very kid-accessible style, I was impressed with the solid beginner knowledge of the kind found in most adult books on witchcraft and paganism. I would highly recommend this book for any young adult looking to explore the real world of magick and witchcraft.

This is a great book focusing on wiccan tradition and ritual. I dislike the "Harry Potter" influence they mistakingly put on wicca and witches.

I was so glad I bought this book. I am already into the fae and have read Sirona Knight's book FAERY MAGICK, so I tried this book. It is magickal! There are all kinds of things you can do right away after thumbing through the pages. I liked that, and there are sections on divination and shapeshifting which are totally cool! It's snap and a totally awesome book on magic, Harry Potter style, but real not fiction.

This book is the best subject. It's the number one magic book on my list. Harry Potter is so simalar to the world of magic. Out of the book, My favortie spell is a Sudden Sucess Spell. I tried one potion before. I think this is a great book for all ages, well at least the ones who like or love Science.

This is the most accessible and friendly book on magic I have read.it contains information on runes,amulets,and everything you need to be a modern-day magus.I am now a practicing wizard!
