The Witch's Journal: Charms, Spells, Potions and Enchantments

I purchased this book for my wife and she loves it, this review is a mix of what she has told me about it and my own thoughts as a neutral buying it as a gift for someone. The book is great for beginners and even intermediates and what my wife loves most about it is you can open it at almost any page and try a spell, you do not have to follow the book through in any kind of sequence. I am not into this kind of thing myslef but I did have a look through and it was full of images, charts and easy to follow spells, it reminded me of the "books for dummies" series but with an added quality about it. I have since picked it up a few more times scanning through pages and wondering "what if" maybe it will convert me to a believer. The book is full of essential information for creating spells along with detailed recipe lists and alternatives for those items that are harder to find. If you are thinking or purchasing this book as a gift for someone who is obviously into this kind of thing then DO IT they will not be disappointed, my wife wasn't. As a closing note the quality of the book and specially the cover are amazing, the publisher has not scrimped or cut corners when putting this together.

I read all the reviews before buying and had a peek inside the book too....my copy arrived today and I have to say I am more than pleased with it. I have purchased a number of books recently on the subject and although a lot are very informative this book is not only informative but it is fun to read; it is a book you can flick through [it is scrap book style]....the art work is great and colourful. It is a great reference book. My personal opinion is if you are starting out in this subject then this is a great book to have; had I bought this one first I may not have bought some of the other books. For me, this book will probably be used more than the others I own. This book is easy to read, easy to understand, nothing complicated about it and a wonderful reference book - however it won't suit everyone as some of the other reviews show, but as far as I am concerned, it suits my purpose and needs; if you do decide to buy a copy I hope you will enjoy it just as much as I am ;-)

Find this interesting

This book is amazing for a beginner, has all the basic info about witchcraft, and explains everything in an easy and relatable way, not to mention it is set up like a scrap book, so it has lot's of pictures, colours, charts etc, all very pleasing to the eye and designed to help you take in the informaiton more easily. This is basically a ready made book of shadows, has all about Gods and Goddesses, Correspondences, planets, herbs, stones, tools, it even has a large section on ready made spells to use, each spell has all the appropriate correspondences around it and allows for substitutes if you don't have something required. My only criticism of the book is that the author assumes that the reader is female, with constant references such as "a witch must use HER intuition", as a male witch this threw me off a little. But other than that this is a sound reference guide for beginner witches or just those who are interested in the subject and wanted to learn more about the beliefs of a witch.

well i'm not going to make super introduction but this book is really really good. written in a way down to earth so you can understand it brilliantly,plus it is full of important steps to show you the right way to start and prepare yourself for magical crafts include science as well. I Love this book and it is now my basic reference book of shadow journal. My money is not wasted and i'm happy that i have invested it in this amazing book which is rich with pictures and examples,so you are not lost while reading it. I highly recommend it for you. :D

Absolutely beautiful book, highly recommend

I love this book sooooo much. It`s a book i take with me every day. You can read from start to finish or you can use it as a quick advice book. It talks about colours, crystals, herbs, the influence of the planets and the moon, candles, divination methods and so much more... It also provides easy to understand charts in wich they mix the days of the week, the colours, the planets, and so on, so that you can choose the best possible time, and way, to practise your spells. Wonderfull.

I have just finished reading The Witches Journal and I thought it was a lovely book. I liked the way it was layed out to look more like a scrap book and it was easy reading. A good introduction to the craft. would recommend it to anyone who is curious and wants to know the basics about wicca.

Bought the book used but it's as pristine as a new one and I couldn't be happier! The book has a little bit of info on a lot of topics - great as a quick reference or for a beginner to learn the basics. Its set up like a scrapbook/journal with pictures and illustrations - great inspiration for setting up a BoS of your own.

Really nice book - well worth having.

amazing information, a lot of beginner info but it becomes more advanced and detailed as you go on, leading you on a journey. 100% recommend for all witches.

Konnte mich kaum über das Thema informieren aber das Buch hat mir sehr weiter geholfen :)

Regalo a mio nipote che è piaciuto molto
