Witchcraft: A Handbook of Magic Spells and Potions (Volume 1) (Mystical Handbook, 1)

Great looking book and a great price . Can’t wait to read it

Aside from the finger prints on the front cover of the book that I successfully cleaned off The item came on time and in perfect condition.

Great

GREAT OLD BOOK !! Rewritten ancient spells and reproductions of intricate linoleum cut illustrations. This book is a fascinating read .. whether you believe or not. Many of the *spells* were once alongside other remedies such as how to cure an ear infection with alcohol. This will make a great addition to any collection.

I like it okay. It is old spells and still uses old terms. I know most of my old terms and understand that an eye of the wolf just means a certain button needs to be sewn in a sleeve. I knew from reviews that some would be useless to me as religeon may interfere, but, most books have some things I don't use , so , that was not a deal-breaker. The only thing that makes me not love it is that it is more of an incanttion book than a spell book. It does have both but, it has a lottt of incantations and few actual recipes. It is pretty and may just garnish my shelf. Its okay for the price.

Awesome

Great book

Of you are serious about witchcraft DO NOT purchase this book. It's a decent display piece or spooky Halloween prop but absolutely useless for anything else. The "spells" listed aren't spells but rather old wive's tales and superstitions. In my years of practicing witchcraft I've never read a worse book. And to think that the author claims to be a high priestess! She's not even a witch. She's just trying to cash in on witchcraft because it's trendy. First, the spells. As I mentioned previously, they aren't really spells. Furthermore, the supposed cultural origins of the spells are all lies. There are many instances of her taking a poem from say, native American culture, and adapting part of it into what she calls a spell. That is both academically dishonest and offensive. And then there's the racism and the animal abuse. Any witch worth their salt needs to be angry about this. The fact that so many non-witchs think this book is legit makes my skin crawl, especially with all of the racial stereotypes and glowing descriptions of animal abuse. Don't buy this book unless it's for part of a Halloween costume or an art project. It is a beautiful book, so I plan to hollow it out and use it as a box to store herbs or crystals in.
