This is coming from someone who studied witchcraft for years. I suppose this book is easier to follow because it’s dumbed down. There are basic ideas for making your own spells at the back of the book. They seem fun and nifty, and would be cool, except for the major fact that spells don’t do anything. Once a person realizes this, spells lose all of their appeal.

There is lots of information on which herbs, stones and colors are “helpful” for whatever thing you want. Of course there is no scientific proof that any of these things will help you (with the exception of a few herbs that have medicinal value) other than being aesthetically pleasing, but collecting all these nifty things is the materialistic part of wicca. Wiccans then contradict themselves by saying that you really don’t need any of these things; just your mind. Then why do people waste money and resources acquiring all this junk?

He talks about the four elements of earth, air, fire, and water. This is what the Greeks thought of as the elements that made up everything in the world. In the many centuries since, real elements have been discovered, but people still talk about the “four” elements–another example of using symbolism for its own sake. He also talks about “positively charging” things by holding them and focusing on them. I’m sure he doesn’t even realize that to actually positively charge something, you need to add particles to them on a molecular level.

I’m sure that you will enjoy this book if you are gullible enough to believe in wicca. It is nothing but wishful thinking. None of it is real, and contrary to trendy opinion, wicca is just as fake as every other religion.

This book like all of Scott Cunningham’s other book was very discouraging and very restricted on magick.He has put such great limitations on spells and magick such as saying that love spells are manipulative and that they never work and that you should never put a spell on a specific person no matter what.His books make magick sound useless.
