This book is an excellent resources for those interested in ritual magick. The author also delves in to the symbolism behind candle magick and the resources used when performing rituals. This includes crystals, incense, herbs, etc.. Once you read through this book it retains it's value as a resource you can return to when you need clarification. It makes an excellent addition to a magick library.
A clear and concise little resource that I consult daily for guidance and aid in daily activities, for health, assistance for other people, and in my work. Easy to understand and follow, it is a permanent fixture on my bookshelf.
I really liked how it talked about candles in religion and day to day life. Manifesting is the goal. Might as well light a candle on a full moon to will it to life.
This little book packs a lot of information. I loved the diagrams included in the back. I also like how the author is inclusive. I feel like this book can be used by anybody, from any religion. This book is definitely going to a permanent part of my library :)
As an avid practicing Wiccan I must say this book is great! I practice a lot of candle magick (which should have been spelled with a "k" in the title to not confuse it with magician's tricks) and this book helped me further my interest and taught me when and how to do it better.
Before I do candle magick I like to pick up this book as a guide. I can imagine myself keeping this book until the day I die...it's helped me so much!
I actually have read this book before but not all the way through. I'm glad O did just that now to justify it.
A useful little book which can be read by itself or used to incorporate candle magic into other spells. It is clearly written and easy to follow and can be used by anyone no matter what their 'level' or experience
