Spellcaster: Seven Ways to Effective Magic

by Elen Hawke, Martin White, Poppy Palin

Seven talented magical practitioners have joined together to produce this invaluable guide to the art of spellcrafting. Much more than a do-it-yourself magic manual, this guide to the craft emphasizes the responsibilities and ethical issues that are part of the magical life.
Spellcaster addresses the theoretical and practical background of magic-exploring how magical energies operate and manifest. The seven essays represent different approaches and traditions-including Wicca, Hermetic Magick, Northern traditions, and freeform Natural Magick. The wisdom collected here is meant to inspire and empower beginners and less experienced magic users, so they may go on to safely and confidently customize their own magical practice.

Another one from my days as a youngling. This book introduced me to the concept of living and acting with intention, which has become or perhaps always was a lifelong quest.

Excellent primer for beginning practitioner's giving different methods of spell crafting. Highly recommend for those wishing to create their own spells.
