4.0 out of 5 stars An all-right book, June 1, 1999

By A Customer

When I bough this book I thought this would be just another bogus book. But it's not! This book is full of interesting spells like reversing spells, protection spells,and even making baths. I would recommend this book to anyone who intersted in this kind of magick.

5.0 out of 5 stars Magick for REAL people!!!, January 27, 1999

By A Customer

This is a great book...It's filled with a hundred spells from various cultures, religions and traditions that work independent of any specific culture, religion or tradition. What's wonderful about it, is that Draja focuses on making magick PRACTICAL. How refreshing! A lot of the spells are simple to perform and require items that are easily available to most people. There are a few spells that i find to be rather peculiar or overly time-consuming, but they're an interesting read at the least. He provides practical spells for most of the situations that people encounter in their daily lives...money, health, jobs, luck, relationships, etc. He does have a slight paternal tone in telling people not to alter the spells, but i take that to simply be a guardrail for the novice magick user. It's a great little sourcebook for spells and as inspiration to help you create your own. Definately a "must-have" for me! =))

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent choice!, January 5, 2000

By	Mandy Jayne Tither (Manchester, UK) - See all my reviews

I have a vast collection of books on magick, spells and witchcraft - some good, some not so - but this one is my bible! It's always the first volume I grab when in need and I've had some great results.
