I really enjoyed this book. I've sort of been interested in Wicca and I was excited to learn a bit more about spells and such. I guess, to be truthful, it always seemed a bit scary. But Cassandra's book made investigation into the world of spells and candles fun, and very very safe. I love that she reassured me along the way. Her voice is friendly and accessible.

And I really connected to the fact that a lot of the spells are simply about focusing your energy and channeling it. Making the book, again, relatable and safe. Now that I've learned a bit about spells and candles and their power to channel, I'm gonna give it a try. It's so simple and all you need is a candle. I'm not even sure you need to know exactly what you want. I think the process of the spells really clarifies it. I recommend this book for sure.

Great book on basic candle magic

Thorough little book on the basics of candle magic. Includes some spells/ candle work that can be done by a beginner. I particularly liked the correspondences at the end for colors, runes and oil usages.

Simple Candle Magick by Cassandra Larsen is a step-by-step guide of how to perform “spells” that the author states will bring positive change into one’s life. I am glad that she focuses on positive spells and positive energy, and it seems to me that the meditative part of the spells might be what practitioners of this craft find most helpful. It made interesting reading for me, as I gained insight into how “spells” are actually performed. As this material is new to me, after a bit of research, I discovered that Wicca is a relatively new religion, with a set of beliefs, rituals, and holidays that sound fairly complex.

I have to be honest when I say that I do not advocate practicing any method or art form without understanding the history and meaning behind one’s actions. I know this book is too short to delve into the beliefs of Wicca (although a god and goddess are mentioned in the spells we are advised to chant to help to change our lives). On the surface, it seems like this book would be a good manual for a practitioner of this craft, but even this is difficult to evaluate without more background information. I am not sure how this book compares with other books on the topic as well. So, although the book on the surface seems well-written, unfortunately, as one who does not practice Wicca, I cannot be sure how useful this book really is. I believe a review by one who is knowledgeable about this material would be the most helpful to the reader, which I am sure will follow soon.

I was given a free copy of this book for an honest review.

Simple Candle Magick by Cassandra Larsen is a short guide to Wicca candle spells. It contains an introduction explaining candle magick, use of candles and optional accessories, and spell preparation; an easy guide to thirteen (excellent number for a witchcraft book!) spells; and a reference section explaining color magick, runes, and the meanings of oils used in spells.

Larsen delivers on the title; Simple Candle Magick is an easy guide to spells. I can’t comment on the powerful part, but I was tempted to buy some candles so I could carve the runes into them and try the spells! (And I’m an atheist!) It’s well written and well formatted. The only criticism I have is that I would have liked to see images in the book; images of the types of candles, runes, amulets, bottles of oil, etc. discussed in the book. Images would enhance this book. However, it’s still a very good guide to simple candle spells.

Simple Candle Magick was a difficult book for me to review. While I’ve always been interested in Wicca and witchcraft and any such similar alternative mode of wish fulfillment and personal growth, I am not sure of its effectiveness and haven’t experienced it firsthand. But I think this mode is simply another way of focusing your energy and channeling it to fulfill your life’s goals and it’s a worthy and a worthwhile cause.

And that’s what the best thing about the book is. It’s a simple practical handbook as it claims to be with the words - ‘In this book you will find simple, yet powerful spells that are easy to follow and don’t require any fancy or expensive tools. All you need is yourself and a candle!”

I was tempted though, by the end of the book, to try out some of the practices, easy as they were. The rituals read like fun and the spells themselves interesting. I think these may be more enjoyable in a group though I am not sure how that would work out.

I loved this book. I think this is a great one for those who are just discovering the craft, and for those who are still new to it. A lot of the rituals seen in different books are a bit complex for the new person and feel overwhelming. This one was simple and straight-forward, most requiring just a candle and yourself, although she includes different additions if one wants to add some power.

In addition to the spells, she discusses runes and their meanings, which I really enjoyed. She also talks about oils that can be added to the rituals for different purposes.

Will definitely be checking out her other books on the craft in 2016.
