Gilly Sergiev (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: December 8, 2001

The central item in this unique boxed collection is a book of traditional witchcraft lore—also known as a Grymoire—which summarizes basic knowledge that all witches should be familiar with. These details include magical days on the calendar and charmed places in the natural world, mysteries understood by witches, methods of astral travel, correct use of the powerful symbol of the pentacle, and ways to employ chants and dances that invoke mystical powers and banish evil. This operating manual for witches comes boxed with incense sticks, a candle, a black altar cloth, and a magic wand, all of these items intended to help the user perform the rituals and cast the spells presented in the Grymoire. Twenty ancient spells and their ingredients are described. They deal with love, fortune, beauty, health, banishing, binding, talismans, charms, amulets, and much more. A Witch's Box of Magick will empower faithful users, helping them to perform benevolent magic, which is also known as following the White Path. This beautifully packaged kit prepares its user to explore the world of witchcraft. It also makes a fine gift for a friend who is interested in an introduction to this esoteric art.

Editorial Reviews

From the Back Cover

In my box of magick are such wondrous things, things that you have never seen before—magick and conjurings and ancient lore. But remember! Approach this book not with a dark and troubled heart—keep pure your intention and mind, and the path to knowledge will surely be a fair one. Potent spells there are within these pages, and ancient days for remembrance, and places that are sacred to the witch?s way. Treat the words within this book with respect and all shall become clear . . .

5.0 out of 5 stars WONDERFUL!, August 25, 2003

This is such a great product! The book alone is worth the price. It covers everything from basic beliefs to scrying and horoscopes. The book is also illustrated with beautiful antique- looking ink drawings and the pages and book itself are made to look aged. Although this book is quite informative, I would reccomend someone who is a newbie to read a book like Scott Cunningham's Wicca for the Solitary Practitioner or Raymond Buckland's Complete Book of Witchcraft before reading this one so they have some background with what is included in this book. The contents are nice too. The black altar cloth is my favorite item that is included. It features a silver pentacle drawing that is also pictured in the book. The wand is a little cutesy for my tastes but is nice, and the incense and candle that are included adds a nice touch, esp. if someone is new to the wonders of natural powdered incense. These items would be perfect for creating a mini altar or for someone who doesn't have access to metaphysical stores.

I Adore this set! The author has to be congratulated on the presentation alone. The black alter cloth, magic wand, candle and incense are very special and I got the feeling Ms. Sergiev placed them here herself! Couldnt be the case, could it?

The book is beautifully illustrated and honestly written. It is if we are given a copy of her own spellbook! This is the way modern practitioners should emote with any magical writing! It contains much of the information written by many other authors of the subject for the past few decades. Not much new here for senior practitioners, but what I would not have given for this little gem when I started out!

As for the critic of Wicca in a box, this is a very handy set for those who may not be able to get to the local new age-magical supply store. This is not Wicca in a box! More Magic in a box! Nothing wrong with this at all! The only things missing are the broomstick and pointed hat!
