[ETD]

an absolutely baffling little book that appealed strongly to my sense of whimsy

[Tina Rose]

The layout and illustrations in this little book are absolutely beautiful as is the cover. Definitely a beginners guide and came at from a more pragmatic then mystical angle. Easy to follow. And wonderfully laid out. Doesn't cover too much information, but is good for snippets kind of knowledge book.

[Raechel]

An introduction to different forms of the mystical world. The topics are covered just at a quick glance, which allows deeper research if it interests you. The only topic that didn't really make sense was the fairies, since the other topics were tarot, zodiac, crystals and palm reading. Otherwise a great quick introduction to the topics.

the information felt very surface level. i get that it's an introduction, but a lot of this you can find with about 5 minutes of research. the chapter on fairies was also VERY out of place and really made this feel a little bit like a children's book rather than an actual intro to magic book. disappointed, 1/5
