The Complete Book of Magic and Witchcraft

Rating:
Summary: Good Read
Review: This book is not really all that bad as the reviews may imply. I do not currently own this revised edition, but I own the first edition, so they might of changed it or not but hear me out. NOT ALL MAGIC IS AIRY FAIRY. How many times do I have to yell that out? A good witch or magician knows and practices both aspects of light and dark magic. (Not with a friggin' K!)

The spells contained herein are from various grimoires and books. Some are for historical use and shows what magic was back in the day. It was not always light and fluffy. Also, sometimes a lot of lies were often written in grimores to confuse the non-magician.

Overall, this is not a bad read. Its interesting and would be a good book to read on historical witchcraft and magic. It may suprise you, read the words and look past what's written.

Summary: SHUT UP WICCANS
Review: 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.

Summary: good but not "complete"
Review: 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
