[.ca] Complete Book Of Magic And Witchcraft (ISBN 0451168321)

good but not "complete":
this little book go so on my nevers until i bought it personally i don't find it "complete" in any way it's all just a bunch of stuff thrown together if your into magic wether it be wicca, voodoo, witchcraft, cerimonial, or satanism you can do youself a favor save the money for the books, grimores..etc that the magic in this thing is based on and have a complete text on it rather than just a few little notes however it does have a lot of intresting rituals ,spells, definately not for a dabbeler or beginner personally i burnt my copy mainly because it isn't what i was looking for

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.

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.

Packed with Information:
This small book, which has been in print continuously since 1970, is a great resource for any mage or witch. Packed with hundreds of spells, incantations, talismans, and charms -- most of them gleaned from European, Middle-Eastern, and Indian books dating to the Middle Ages or earlier -- this volume can be used as a grimoire in its own right, especially by newbies. In addition, because the spells are annotatated by source and there is a lengthy bibliography, the book also functions as a pointer to the rare, scholarly, and out-of-print texts the author consulted and which the advanced student will wish to read. Don't let the small size and low price turn you off -- this is a valuable grimoire worth at least twice its cost.

A good book:
This isnt really the complete guide of everything you need to know to be a witch but it's a start. Its full of spells, chants, curses etc. The wiccans who speak bad about this should know they dont own the word witchcraft. The word witchcraft is much older than the 1950's when wicca was invented. And the book dosnt tell you to curse somone if they look at you wrong so i dont know what that one reviewer was talking about. Black magick is somtimes needed and this book has some good spells on it. However some spells in the book would not be very safe to perform as there are some of those ones including poisonous plants and parts of dead people. I also recomend the book Mastering Witchcraft by Paul Huson which is another good one that the wiccans cry and whine about.
