My favorite

It's almost time for me to buy a new copy of this book. I've referred to it time and again, bookmarked, toted around, and used in the messy kitchen so often that it's about to fall apart. And I'd hate to go without it. Great book. It really got me started with kitchen witchcraft. And I love the Victorian period and it's myriad of customs and superstitions. The format was great in an unexpected way. I was expecting rituals and magical history but got ways to bring a little Victorian custom into my magic. Very nice. Also, my cousins and nieces are all addicted to the American Girl books and love the recipes and crafts in this book as well.

If Tasha Tudor was pagan, she might have written this.

This book is great for the magical Victoriana buff. I love my copy of Mrs. Sharp's Traditions:Reviving Victorian Family Celebrations of Comfort and Joy, but what it lacked was a magical, mystical component. This book evokes all the imagery of a Victorian lifestyle, but puts a magical spin on it. I DO lots of these things already, but with a magical focus, it makes it fit into my life that much more meaningfully. I wish it had more delightful Victorian images, but that is the only obvious downfall. If you love Victoria magazine, but have a magical heart inside, this book will appeal to you! You will be dreaming up the perfect life for yourself over a nice cup of tea!

Ah if only things were still like this

Normally I detest Llewyllyn books but this one offers some wonderfull little practices that can enhance your daily life. I cant say much for the parts of this book which are wiccan but as for the folk traditions and alike this book deserves two thumbs up

The Most Enchanting!

This is them most enchanting witchcraft book ever... so romantic... so victorian... I loved it! The Craft ideas were clever... the rituals are beautiful... the poetry was georgious... & the illastrations were adorable!

Enchanting!

This book has wonderful enchanting ideas and recipes. It's definitely something different, and not meant to be a guide to "Wicca", so it is perfect for those looking for something different and beautifully feminine. It's a favorite from my collection of magick books, and has a nice section with ideas for each of the 8 Sabbats, as well as other unique beautiful treasures, even tea leaf reading info and poetry throughout. So much content, its hard to choose which to talk about! I've had the book since 1992 and I still use it all the time! Highly recommended for adding a little beauty to your withcraft.
