Worth Every Last Penny.
After reading the negative reviews about this book I was really shocked by the shallowness of those wiccans who claim to know everything about anything. Come on! This book is a comprehensive guide, it's got loads of spells, incantations, charms, and it has a variety of purposes. Plus, you get a complete herb listing which no witchcraft book thought to include. Wiccans should keep silent about books that dont pertain to their so called religion. Witchcraft is the origin, and it doesnt have to twist according to their needs. Any negative review about such book is completely thoughtless. This book is an excellent guide.

A Good Serviceable Grimoire from the early 70's
I remember getting my juvenile mitts on a copy of this book back in 1974 when i was 11 years old: back then, thank the stars, there were no feeble books on 'wicca for teenagers' so the kind of heady fare offered in Kathryn Paulsen's little 'vade mecum' supplied this budding warlock with some very utile rudiments of the Nigromantic Arts of Magic. Looking at this work some 30 years later i must say it is a rather nice and compact compilation of valuable and interesting magical lore and techniques primarily from medieval European sources along with some oriental, amerindian and voodooistic materials. This is a very modestly priced volume which presents something of the true flavour of the traditional Magical Arts of the Middle Ages. All in all a pretty useful tome.

SHUT UP WICCANS
This is NOT a book about the neo modern religion of wicca. Wicca is from gerald gardner and popularized by the idiot scott cunningham. This is a book of WITCHCRAFT which is seperate and apart from wicca. This book is not for fluffy bunnies who believe in karma, which is an eastern hindu concept. A witch is a witch,and witches have backbone. This book contains rituals and incantations along with spells and potions for a witch to add to her practice. I reccomend this book to those who favor Paul Huson's great work MASTERING WITCHCRAFT. Paul Huson's mastering witchcraft is an excelent place to get started and this book is an excelent continuation. I would strongly reccomend people stay away from anything and everything written by scott cunningham and as a general rule it is probably best to avoid any Llewyllyn Publication.
