Century of Spells

Summary: Handy Little Book
Review: Draja Mickaharic's books A Century of Spells, and Spiritual Cleansings have been in my library since the 80's, and although many magical books, and spell books have been bought afterwards, I always seam to go back to Draja. A Century of Spells dabbles and mixes well Southern Hoodoo, Santeria, Christian Magic, and Caribbean Magic. This book is filled with wise wisdom on how to create excellent and powerful ritual incense such as High Spirit Incense, Meditation Incense, and House blessing Incense, it also gives you good instructions on how to fumigate, "smudge" with incense. The Herb section is just a quick basic intro to herbalism, and some of the herbs used in Hoodoo Magic such as Solomon's Seal, Snakeroot, and Poke root to name a few.

There are spells using loadstones, how to create Four Thieves Vinegar. Methods for Spiritual Bath., oils, water sprinkles, spoken spells, and written spells are also discussed. If you are an opened minded person, because the book has spells using Jesus Christ, the Archangels, The Seven African Powers "Orishas", and Allah, then this little handy book belongs in your library.

Summary: Excellent choice!
Review: I have a vast collection of books on magick, spells and witchcraft - some good, some not so - but this one is my bible! It's always the first volume I grab when in need and I've had some great results.

Summary: certainly a good one
Review: I liked this bok very much. I have an older printing with a different cover so Im not sure if the new edition is any different. I really enjoy the author's style in writing and his material seems well researched. This is NOT a wiccan book, this is based more on a mystical catholic style and contains wisdom from african and african based tradtitons. There are a lot of spell books on the market, this is one of the few good ones.

Summary: Wish I had found you years ago
Review: I really wish I had come across all of the books by this author several years ago. Then Amazon wouldn't quite have as much of my money as they do!

There is a clarity and a delightful lack of the condescension that one so often finds in many authors writing in this genre today. His writing style is fluid and the instructions and cautions are presented in a simple and clearly stated manner.

I have 6 of his books now and, I've just discovered a couple titles that I don't have already so Amazon will be getting some more money.

Summary: Not exactly what I expected
Review: I wanted to like this book but found it a bit boring. Fine list of describing herbs and oils, etc... and their mystical significance. One FACTUAL ERROR regarding aluminum and steel concerns me. Someone a bit confused as to which metal is actually found in nature. Pages and pages of saying the same thing made it difficult for me to justify spending money. I'd love a refund or trade-in for his other books. Will prevent me from taking risks in the future when purchasing books online before viewing it first in a conventional store. Thankfully, I only spent $10.

Summary: very good spells and literature wow!
Review: Nicely written and easy to understand, I found this book a good reference search for magical works. Most of the ingredients are quite easy to find except one had me scouring the local hardware stores for almost 8 months before I could find the stuff. But in the end, all's well that ends well. I like the author's work and I feel she has set a certain style when it comes to appealing to general needs and senses. Even the title of this book is very enticing. Who can possibly ignore such a treasured find? Imagine..a century of secrets tuck between the pages for a small price. Well, as for whether the spells work, I cannot really say cos I did perform some protection spell and I know nothing is 100% full proof. But again, perhaps it did in its own mysterious ways; although for real dramatics," The Truth About Witchcraft Today" by the late Scott Cunningham did grab my total awe for immediate results.

Summary: An all-right book
Review: When I bough tthis book I thought this would be just another bogus book. But it's not! This book is full of interesting spells like reversing spells, protection spells,and even making baths. I would reccomend this book to anyone who intersted in this kind of magick.
