Glad it's back!

I loved the earlier rendition of this book "Earth Mother Magic" and am glad its enjoying a reincarnation as "Pure Magic." Yes, I am partial to the first title--it said so much all by itself, still the contents are all there in "Pure Magic," updated and clarified in some cases. As a book lover I appreciate it when an author and publisher team up and bring an out of print book back to the market--this way it can be shared or one can replace their old yellowing copy. Glad to see it; loved reading; Judika is a fun, innovative and accurate witch for those desiring a variety of different types of spell work and herb craft. Go girl & keep 'em coming!

I love this book. I bought it at Barnes and Noble yesterday, but:

After many previous readings at a local library in my area, I decided to buy this book for myself, and it's already been very valuable to me. Especially the insights she has on doing a good money spell. She is quite scholarly in her knowledge about magic and all of that, sure. But the book is actually very well organized and written. Sure her encyclopedias on Spells and Witchcraft are good, but this is the best she's done yet. And the suff she has in the book on Creole magic and all of that. Wow. Sounds like something straight out of my Grandmother Florence "Mama" Clayton's (that's my Grandmother on my Dad's side of the family) pantry of natural cures and all of that. (hee hee hee, wow!) Especially her references to High John The Conqueror root... It's a funny thing, but like she said in a previous tome, "magic is the tapping of natural forces...", etc., etc. Well this book will speak for itself if deeply read and understood as a Universal Sign that it is. And I'll let it speak for itself, I have written my review. Thank you. Captain Josh.
