Summary: A welcome edition to any magical library
Review: This book is full of information for those who would like to learn about Practical candle burning rituals. This is not a ritual or spell book, but rather a book about the facts and fundementals of candle burning. It explains many of the different types of candles available for use with illustrations in wonderful detail, much more than many of the other books Ive read. I also liked this book because it's not based on any particular religous path, instead it makes the information understandable to anyone from any spiritual tradition. I highly reccomend this work and hope you all enjoy it.

Summary: Good little booklet
Review: This is a 62 page book filled with a treasure of valueable candle burning techniques. There are some basic drawings and charts, details of different types of candles, days and colors, a few magical seals, zodiacal information and more. The cover is also well done showing many types of the 7-day variety candles available on the market today.

Summary: Excellent & Concise Book - the Real Thing!
Review: This is an excellent introduction to the basics of candle magic. Ms. Dey has written what I consider a "classic" on the topic. Her approach is free of the overtly religious overtones that mar other works on the subject, and she goes out of her way to encourage you to experiment and find your own creative approach. She skillfully handles topics like color symbolism and the planetary energies, giving short, but pithy descriptions of how they work. In fact, the only thing "wrong" with this book is how short it is. I found myself wishing she'd written more, or perhaps another book. On the other hand, she gives you most of what you need, and it's up to you to "connect the dots." The books brevity belies its depth, but if you take the time to absorb its content, I think you'll find it richly rewarding.

Summary: This book is "magic"!
Review: This is the first book I've read on the subject of candle ritual, although I have researched the subject pretty extensively on the internet. I found it to contain fairly good and detailed explainations of all of the candle ritual "elements" that I have heard of and MORE! It starts by explaining the differences between alter, astral and petitionary candles and the different types of candle forms like 7-day and image candles. Then it goes on to explain in much detail, the significance of color and how to prepare the candle for ritual use. A large section of the book then explains the planetary hours and influences and the moon in spellcasting. I enjoyed this book and read it in an afternoon. I would have liked to see it be a little longer and even more in depth, which is why I didn't give it 5 stars. All in all it's a very good book... especially worth it's very reasonable price!
