Ratings and reviews

All powerful magick yet they cant pay their dues to the publishers. Llewellyn will fall. Dumb book all fake. Not 1 person can do a single spell That'll work. Get a life people And grow up

I have had this book for years. I come back to it from time to time as a sort of refreshee and a way to establish a little routine for myself when I feel like life has become overwhelming. Great book!

It's important to remember when buying this book that it was written as a textbook-- and reads like one. That said, lots of good information in this book. And while it's not particularly relevant to me, still a great read.
