A great little grimore: This is the grimore of a kitchen witch. I like how Rosean tells you that harming people is bad and them gives you the spell and lets you make your oven choice. I get annoyed when I am preached at and then an example isn't even given. The spells that she said could be used to controll some one gave me a great refrence to use to avoid such spells. There are other great tidbits took. I like the vacuming out of evil spirits. A great contemerary idea. Deffinatly for the modern witch.
It's....okay.: Maybe something to perchase once fully into praticing magick(IE Wicca/Witchcraft). Not too much info on how to properly prepair for a magickal ritual.
Handy, Well Organized and Fun!: The beauty of The Supermarket Sorceress is not only the fact that it can fit into your purse, but the availibility of the ingredients for all the various spells. While an acre of land in the back is ideal, many of us city dwelling pagans are limited to window boxes and fire escapes. The spells are nicely organised into chapters and are quite original as they go way beyond just love and money spells. As for the "law of three" not all pagans, including myself, subscribe to that particular motto. So act with common sense and enjoy this original book.
Fun, but the proof is in the pudding: Lots of fun to read. Lexa has lots of different spells in her book. I will keep you posted as to the results of some castings. After reading this book, I would love to sit and chat with the author. I recommend you buy the book.
An eternal source of inspiration: If you are in the market for a great little book of easy-to-perform spells organized by category with the exact rhyming couplets written out for you, this isn't it (try Dorothy Morrison). However, Lexa lays out some delightfully ingenious correspondences for the pagan without access to a glade or a stream or even an occult-supply store. Her style is largely anecdotal, leading the reader through the thought process she goes through to develop a spell. And her style is accessible, casual and fun. While you're not going to get step by step instructions here, you will get the inspiration you need to extrapolate your knowledge and to craft your own spells using everyday items. I refer to it again and again.
