Customer Reviews
Decorative, probably useful to most, agreeable reading.
Form: nine sections about different areas of content; lavishly illustrated and very pretty, no photographs; short chapters, but I didn't have the idea much information was being omitted. Content: folk magic spells, many of Caribbean derivation, and some general comments. Probable target group: beginning/average practitioners of folk magic, advanced magic users would probably not find it useful; and people interested in non-European witchcraft. Subjective appraisal: the author does impress ethics on the reader but doesn't grind it in the way some Wiccan authors do. The method of making magical powders and waters strikes me as much less messy than the use of fresh herbs. The spells I found less manipulative than those of the "ethical" Titania Hardie and Nicola de Pulford: unlike them, he offers spells to help and protect children, not control them. Each chapter ends on a short list of traditional spells and charms, some real, some, the author says, just superstition: it's a pity he doesn't specify which is what, but we'd probably disagree. A refreshing read, to be taken with a slight pinch of salt.
