the place to start

If you have no experience with spells or are just getting started, Easy Enchantments is the way to go. It is a fun read, a great gift, and an invariably effective tool. I can say with all honesty of someone who was highly skeptical to begin with that never has one of Lexa's spells failed for me. It's not all smoke and mirrors, these are practical applications to your daily life that are fun, useful, and start you on the path to getting in touch with nature and its forces. Enjoy!

Excellent and enjoyable resource

I love this book and refer to it all the time. I'm not a Wiccan but I believe in the potency of folk and kitchen witchcraft so the spells in here really hit the spot. First of all, the book is beautifully written: the author has a knack for imbuing each instruction and description with a quality of tactility and enjoyably sensuous mystery which is magical in itself. I like that she spends a lot of time drawing connections between the historical, nutritional and "vibrational" qualities of each ingredient, as well as weaving instructions with personal anecdotes and narratives. The author's humor also adds to the book, and I appreciate her encouraging readers to choose spells whose ingredients particularly resonate with them instead of creating fixed prescriptions. I haven't tried all the spells but most of the ones I did try worked, albeit sometimes in unexpected ways. I can see how someone interested in the more formal aspects of Wiccan ritual might find this book too "simple", but I appreciate its eclecticism and democratic use of everyday ingredients, which don't take away from the power of the spells in my opinion.

Magically informative

Here are a variety of spells that are not only easy to put together but workable with uncomplicated ingredients. Lexa's Magical Manner's are a well thought out guideline of how to work with this book. Kitchen Witches will especially like this book and it will make a nice addition to anyone's magical library.

This book is........WOW!

This book is great for a first time witch. The spells work, with easy ingredients that you can buy at any store! With everything from "Health and Beauty", to "Banashing Evil". If you are into spells that work, this book is for you!

Enchantments for everyone

Many spellbooks make the reader- experienced or otherwise- feel overwhelmed by mysteries inacessible. Not this one. Easy Enchantments empowers the reader to utilize her/his own inherent abilities with no more than a trip to the supermarket and some concentration. The original "witch" worked from her kitchen with the supplies she had readily available. Who needs to spend hours searching for arcane ingredients to spice up their sex life when they have cinnamon on their spice rack? Ms. Rosean manages to teach and entertain all at once. Not to mention that the spells work! Good stuff!
