User reviews
Despite all that, honestly, I didn't use this book much at all.
Some of the spells listed are awfully silly -like
The silliness is there for a reason, though. The author explains that the spells "are seemingly fun and frivolous, filled with rhyme and colloquial speech. This is not to diminish the seriousness of the purpose, but rather to create a relaxed atmosphere for the practitioner...".
I could've done with less frivolity, but I love the idea of doing a spell each day, in accordance with the lunar phases. -- overall, four stars from me.
