A MUST HAVE FOR ALL MAGES

When I first picked up this book, I already had an extensive knowledge of Magic and the occult. But what I though was extensive was WAY off. This purple little paperback has been one of my greatest reference materials to this date. The information covers such an extensive variety of Magick and the occult that it could easily be substituted for ones whole library. I was skeptical when I first received it as a gift, so I didn't really bother with it for about a month. But ever since I picked it up, I haven't been able to put it down. . .I enjoyed this book so much that I intend to but others from this author on the mysteries of the Qaballa. Whether your a Christian, Wiccan, Pagan, or even a Satanist, this book is DEFINITELY worth the money. . . .

If you only knew............

Ms.Whippler isn't only knowlegeble on the subject of spells and such, but is a scholar in the religion of Santeria. She certainly knows the subject matter well and could probably teach most people out there a little truth in the realm of rites and rituals. Try some of her other works, you'll understand.

Wonderful Read

Not a recipe book for spells or a grand grimore, but this book is excellent for its diversity. An absolute must for beginners, and enjoyable for adepts.

EXCELLENT IN-DEPTH REVIEW OF THE MAGIC OF COUNTLESS CULTURES

GREAT FOR ANYONE: FROM THE INFORMED READER TO THE CURIOUS THINKER. MANY CULTURES ARE COVERED AND QUITE A BIT OF INTERESTING KNOWLEDGE, FOR USE OR JUST TO HAVE. I WOULD HIGLY RECOMMEND TO ANYONE WITH EVEN THE SLIGHTEST INTEREST IN MAGIC.:)

This book is what it says, but not what it seems.

Be aware that this is not a grimoire! This is an excellent book for someone who is exploring the world of magick, but is not Wiccan. Even if you are unsure, this book is great, as it places no real leanings towards any one religion (Well, maybe there is a little emphasis on the Kabbalistic system). All to often, I find that most books on magick are strongly intertwined with Wicca, and it is hard to get a good broad view of magick without the religious touting. This book provides a comprehensive study of magick through history, the parts it played in different cultures, and it outlines many different practices. A great starting text!
