I picked this up at the library because it was the best in terms of brevity, comprehensiveness, and down-to-the-point explanation. David Salisbury is good at balancing the spiritual and pragmatic in how he writes. Sections are easy to skip to for those seeking something specific. I highly recommend it for those wanting a comprehensive look at the basics.

Absolutetly loved this book. Heaps of simple recipes for today and not the middle ages. Very interesting helpful info regarding curses, crosses, ghost vs spirit and all the different "helpers". Recommend to anyone even vaguely interested or confused about the subject matter.

Cleansing is one of those magical subjects that appears terribly simple until you discover how many different kinds of mess a person can acquire. David Salisbury approaches the problem with admirable practicality, moving through personal cleansing, homes and objects, energetic attachments, difficult spirits, boundaries, protection, and the rather important business of keeping things clear once you have gone to the trouble of clearing them. What makes Mystic Guide to Cleansing & Clearing useful is its range: smoke and water sit comfortably beside visualization, energy work, charms, and other techniques, giving the reader alternatives when the usual handful of methods are unsuitable or simply ineffective. Salisbury writes like someone interested in solving the problem rather than making the problem sound mysterious. It is the magical equivalent of keeping a well-stocked cupboard, because eventually something spills.

Quando comprei esse livro eu já imaginava que ele não seria tão completo, mas confesso que esperava algo um pouco menos genérico.

Eu também esperava que ele fosse mais voltado para limpeza de espaços físicos, ao invés de se concentrar tanto em limpeza espiritual pessoal. Mas, nesse ponto foi uma surpresa até positiva, pois achei muito interessante o material voltado para esse fim.

Os maiores problemas do livro, na verdade, são o seu excesso de generalismo, uma mistura um tanto exagerada de linhas espirituais, e o fato imperdoável da leitura dar sono. Não, ele não dava sono só antes de dormir por falta de adrenalina causada pela leitura, deu sono em todas as horas do dia em que peguei o livro para ler.

Cheguei à conclusão de que é um livro muito mais voltado para consulta de receitas do que para ler de cabo a rabo como eu fiz. As receitas em si são até bastante interessantes, em especial as de limpeza espiritual pessoal (estou doida para testar os banhos sugeridos), e na sua maioria simples, o que facilita muito a vida.

Mas no geral deixou muito a desejar para mim. Recomendo para iniciantes apenas.

Well-written and super informative! Had the pleasure of meeting the author in-person some months back and found him to be quite awesome as well.

I have got to get this book for my craft library. It is a must have for me.

very basic

One or two useful things in here, but largely not for someone who does not follow Wicca. There was too much woo-woo in here for me.

Aimed at beginners, but a solid intro
