Product Description

Crone's Book of Magical Words (previously published as The Crone's Book of Words) by Valerie Worth is the book you've been waiting for! In its pages are over 125 spells, incantations and charms. If you can think of a purpose for a spell, it's probably in this book. Need a spell to summon a ghost? Or perhaps you want the opposite: a spell to free a house from being haunted. They're both in this book. Do you need something to help you lose weight or have longevity? You'll find them here. Or perhaps you want to pass through a locked door. It's all in this book.
   Even if you don't know a thing about magic, you can use this book. The spells are easy, poetic, and evocative. For example, to cure a wart the instructions are: "Stamp within a silver cup mullein and houseleek together. Stir them with a sparrow's feather. Let it draw the juices up; Twenty times upon one day, brush them over the excrescence; Under sunlight dry the essence — Soon the wart must shrink away."
The range in this book is phenomenal. You'll find a simple fertility charm and a way to conjure with smoke. You'll read about how to bring rain and how to stop rain from falling. You'll learn how to tell fortunes with sand or with tea leaves. This is more than just a book about magic, it is a folklorist's bonanza.
If you're ready to win another's love or to sweeten someone's disposition, if you want to turn hair long and golden or discover tree spirits, this is the book you must have. Whether you have been doing magic for a long time or are a beginner, this book is a must.


From the Publisher

Sometimes I want to study subjects in depth. At other times, especially when it comes to magic, I often just want the basics so I can get things done. That's the concept behind Valerie Worth's Crone's Book of Magical Words (previously published as The Crone's Book of Words).
This book is simply filled with spells and charms, rituals, and techniques that will help bring magic into your life. There are over 125 of them, and you're going to find you will be able to use many of them right away.
There are spells for your home and spells for your attitude, spells for health and spells to call ghosts, spells for divination and spells for invisibility. Do you need to know how to become invisible? You'll find out in this book.
In many traditions of Paganism, spells should be done in rhyme. In this book the spells and instructions are in rhyme. As you read over instructions for such things as how to treat a leaking house, or a spell for riches, you'll see how poetry can be found everywhere. This means you'll be better able to design your own rhyming rituals and poetic empowerment.
Sometimes, simplicity equals elegance and power. That is the case here. The complete yet brief rites and charms will have you spinning a web of magic in no time.
This book is not only a great tool for people starting on a magical path, it is also ideal for people who are on the path and who want to expand their possibilities. If you fit into either of these categories, this book is a must.

5.0 out of 5 stars Delicious Spellcraft & Delectable Cantrips, December 24, 2004
What strange muse from the hither side of the autumn moon inspired Valerie Worth when she composed this collection of 128 spells? This volume is a truly beautiful and authentic expression of poetry as genuine Magic. The touch is light and mysterious, never laboured or ponderous, her wordcraft spare and succinct, exquisitely honed and often eerily effective. This book and her 'Crone's Book of Charms & Spells' offer superior fare for the seeker of magical wisdom and arcane inspiration. The authenticity of Valerie Worth's work is evident to those who have eyes to see and ears to listen. Her spells open the way into the world of real Magic via the shimmering twilit Witchery of an efficacious wordcraft which holds and conveys an undeniable power to transform the self and the world.

5.0 out of 5 stars Incantare, December 22, 2006
"Sweeten the oven, sweeten the pot, sweeten the cold and sweeten the hot. Summon thy virtues into this place, to teach me patience and skill, and grace." This is just one of the many many quaint spells and enchantments found in The Crones Book of Words by Valerie Worth. First published in 1971, this book is one of my all time favorites. I hope you enjoy it's pages as much as I do.

5.0 out of 5 stars Enchantment in the woods...., April 21, 2006
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I have all her books and her writing is pure magic. The kind of book that holds mystery and an eerie sense of the past within it's pages.

The little poems are brillant, they transport me to another place and a timelessness. I adore the artwork within as well, it adds to the book immensely. Worth was obviously intune with the ways of nature and the traditional witch...she was born with it in her soul....as some of us are.

Don't miss this absolute sparkling gem of a book...a true treasure.
