Product Description

This book explores the oldest and most widely used metaphysical method in a whole new way. More than being a simple collection of candlelit spells, charms, and divinations, the keynote to this book is living magick every moment of every day using candles as a component or focus in that goal. In the pages of this book you'll discover a wonderful variety of candlelit activities including how to: o Create or adapt your own candlelit spells, rituals, charms, and chants. o Light candles for abundance, joy, health, and prosperity. o Work candle-oriented spells for birthday blessings, anniversaries, and other special celebrations. o Devise charms and amulets from candles and candle wax. o Utilize candles as part of group workings (especially those for unity and healing). o Apply candles as an effective part of nearly any metaphysical method. This adored, time-honored art is simple, user-friendly, ecologically sound, inexpensive, and sublimely effective.

An excellent reference
I like Telesco's books b/c she's the only author I can find who is writing for the intermediate and advanced witch. Dunwich's "Exploring Spellcraft" is the only other comparable book I have.

This book is basic in some ways but for anyone who's tired of the repetion of the same old "101" books, it's definitely worth exploring. The spells are divided by purpose and are a little more specific than "love" or "health."

Telesco assumes that her readers already know what she's talking about and it's nice to have an author talk up to me instead of down. Thankfully, she's prolific so there's always a new book to read. Check out her other work as well.

useful book
This is the first candle magick book I've read. The bulk of the book is made up of spells for nearly 70 "needs" (i.e. abudance, peace, money, etc.) I don't have a lot of experience with spell books but I really like these spells--she offers cool ideas for conducting each spell (using ice cubes, a spell to encourage humor, etc.) Also, each spell inspired me to extrapolate with my own additons. One kind of weird thing is that in the beginning of the book she lists the "10 steps for candle magick"...and then lists only 9! It seems like a strange thing to overlook when your whole book is about how to do candle magick. The "meat" (or should I say "soy") of the book, though, is excellent.

I haven't met a Telesco book I haven't loved yet
I recently purchased and read this book and as I expected, I loved it. I also realize I waited far too long to get it. In response to the below review in there only being 9 steps to candle magic, I feel that the 10th and last step she didn't specifically outline is the last paragraph; the follow-through in daily life to complete the action intended in the spell :) As with her other books, this one is well-written, accessable, down to earth and reads like you're having a friendly chat with a long-time acquaintance. Ms. Telesco is one of my favorite Craft authors and never fails to impress me with her creativity, along with the usefulness and variety of ideas, spells and practices. I really enjoy her way of the Craft and so I'm even more thrilled when she comes out with books that go beyond the 101/learning/beginning stages, like this one. She doesn't spend a lot of time on the basics, which is nice because that's usually (as it should be IMO) understood if you're picking up a more advanced book. A nice compliment to its predecessor and a useful addition to the book collection of anyone interested in the area of candle magic.
