This was a really insightful book! The first half of the book is definitely geared towards newbie witches and was mostly review for me, but the last half of the book was what I really was focusing on. I think whether you are a newbie or experienced witch or Wiccan, you can definitely take something away from it. Skye Alexander definitely knows her stuff, and I found the spells and correspondences within this section of the book to be really helpful.

There are healing spells, protection spells, love spells, money spells and everything in between, so I definitely think it’s worth it to read this book for that alone, and I definitely recommend you pick this one up if you are a witch and just want another book to add to your collection!

I recently decided that I wanted to delve more seriously into spellwork and all things Wiccan. I bought this book because I wanted ideas for good beginner spells. I think the beginning which gives a background on focusing your energies and the different methods of performing spells is great. The second half of the book consists entirely of simple spells for all types of things. It lists ideas for what you can do to help improve your spells as well as ingredients you could use when doing them. Overall I think this is a great starting place for someone who is looking to just get into spellwork but I am also open to any ideas!

I do like that Alexander tries to discuss how a spellcaster can create their own spells that are personal to themselves, but I found it hard to connect to her written spells. While some seemed perfectly fine, many had (what seemed to me) rarer ingredients that might be harder to come by for the average witch/ person.

Skimmed, really. Long-winded and repetitive. Some of the spells have potential, though.

First, the cover design of the hardcover is beautiful.
Second, I loved it. My first book on spellcraft and it basically told me everything I need to know, for the basics.

The book is devided into two parts.
Part I is an introduction into spell-/manifestation work that covers all the basics. It's about 100 pages long.
Part II is made up of the spells categorized by topics.

I like that there aren't that much appliances needed for the different spells. For some you do need a few more things, but nothing over the top and for others you don't need anything at all, you're just visualizing.


I seriously would recommend this to anybody who is interested in manifesting things in general and open to new things. Even if you don't consider yourself a witch (btw it just means 'the wise one' and aren't we all wise), because it's kept rather low key.
