Summary: A good overview, but use with caution
Review: I did like this book; the format and variety of the spells were great. My only word of warning is that a few of the spells (eg. the Happy Homebreaker) should be used with the Wiccan Rede in mind (what you give out comes back times three) and I don't think this was spelt out clearly enough. One spell was marked that extreme results could cause death! I don't think it's entirely responsible to include this particular magick in an area aimed at beginners. Other from that, a very enjoyable read. :)

Summary: Very convienient
Review: I have to say that I had a hard time dropping almost $9 for such a small book. I bought the book on a lunch break and came back, one of my non-pagan coworkers looked thru it and her response was "wow, you can just use the stuff that's in your cupboards..." That's the beauty of it, although being able to use essential oils, powders, herbs and etc is nice, but not so nice on the pocket book. And the stuff that you have already is just as effective. It has already come in handy. I didn't give it the full 5 stars because it was a little pricey, but I can't complain because I bought it anyway

Summary: An eternal source of inspiration
Review: 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.

Summary: Fun, but the proof is in the pudding
Review: 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.

Summary: It's....okay.
Review: 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.

Summary: Handy, Well Organized and Fun!
Review: 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.

Summary: A modern-day 'book of shadows' for the contemporary witch.
Review: The Supermarket Sorceress is an updated version of a Book of Shadows. It gives concise directions and simple everyday substitutions for ancient or hard-to-find ingredients used to create magick spells.Its author, Lexa Rosean, has been practicing the magickal arts since 1982, and she presents this much-needed contemporary spellbook for ease of use by the burgeoning population of Wiccans eveywhere. And the spells themselves are pleasant and easy. For example, a spell to induce prophetic dreams involves placing a poppy-seed bagel under your pillow before sleep. If you are of the Olde Schoole of Magick, be admonished that the contemporary nature of the book may take some getting used to -- after all, who would have guessed that a Fig Newton bar would end up being a principal ingredient in a powerful love ritual, or that waxed, mint-flavored dental floss could be used to bind a spell? -- but overall, the magickal workings presented herein should be a delightful experience. I would recommend The Supermarket Sorceress to anybody who is already used to ritual work and familiar with Pagan / Wiccan history, and able to accept the wonderfully creative steps Lexa Rosean has taken with regards to the ever-changing face of Contemporary Neo-Paganism.

Review: 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.
