5.0 out of 5 stars Even better than the first book by R. Buckland!, March 19, 1998

By A Customer

This is a sequel to Raymond Buckland's "Practical Candleburning Rituals" and I think it is actually better than the first. There are more advanced and detailed (hence the title) rituals/spells, and contains many different ones that weren't covered in the first book. There is also an extensive correspondence table section in the back which covers many different aspects, from colors, gemstones, days, astrological signs, substitutions for herbs that can be used, etc. This is definately a worthwhile book to have if you want to do any sort of candle magick or spells, plus it's not complicated or difficult to understand. It's even written to be usable for those who are not of Pagan/Wiccan faith, as the incantations are written twice, one with a Pagan/Wiccan theme and one with a Biblical theme. It even goes into preparing for the spells, with timing and such. Overall one of the best candle magick books out there, I refer to mine often.

4.0 out of 5 stars Raymond Buckland does it again., May 18, 1998

By A Customer

This book provides practical spells for everyday living, and gives sound advice on where anyone can find the tools and herbs necessary to cast spells. Though spell-casting is not easy, Buckland provides a concrete, step-by-step handbook of "how to" for the reader. A must read for those who are interested in making candle magick a part of daily life.
