Wicca Book of Spells: A Book of Shadows for Wiccans, Witches, and Other Practitioners of Magic
Do you want to start practicing magic? Not sure where to begin? Want a collection of spells that can transform and enhance your life?
The world of magic is full of immeasurable potential. There are literally thousands of spells in existence, for every purpose you could possibly imagine. In this book from best-selling author Lisa Chamberlain, you will find spells and other magical workings that, when applied with focused intention, can bring positive experiences into your life. Divided into four general categories, they are suitable for Witches of all experience levels, without calling for extravagant or hard-to-find ingredients. Each spell contains explicit instructions, but there are also opportunities to personalize the work as you see fit, using your own intuition and style. With the variety of magical opportunities for enhancing the most important areas of life, there's something for everyone in this book!
Love and Relationships
Since time immemorial, hopeful lovers have tried spells and potions of all sorts in order to bring them their one true love. In this book you'll find spells for attracting romantic love into your life, but also workings related to friendship and family relationships, which are equally important sources of love in a balanced life.
Wealth and Prosperity
Witches know that we can attract money from unforeseen places into our lives through the use of focused intention, and you'll find spellwork here for doing just that. But cash is not the only form of abundance-opportunities for growing future wealth are also important, as are an abundance of friends, pleasurable activities, and healthy options for nourishing our bodies. To that end, you'll find spells for increasing business success, abundance in the garden, and even a spell for landing an important job, in addition to money-specific workings.
Health and Well-Being
Although it can be difficult to maintain a healthy and positive state of well-being in our fast-paced world, it's relatively easy to balance your own personal energy through spellwork that promotes motivation and endurance. In this section you'll find a range of approaches to reducing stress and increasing your access to the reservoir of positive energy available to you in your daily life. The energy of your environment is also crucial to your quality of life, so you'll find a few protection spells to enhance your physical and social environments and keep out unwanted energy.
Assorted Spells and Strategies
Just as important as spells themselves is a working knowledge of the vast array of magical forms and techniques. This section provides a brief introduction to various approaches to magic, including kitchen witchery, making your own spell ingredients, and using the rhythms of the natural world to your advantage. There are also some miscellaneous spells focused around tools sourced directly from nature, new ways to request information from the Universe, recipes for creating your own oil blends, and a set of magical workings based on the Moon's cycles.
Here's Just a Small Sample of Spells Included in this Book of Shadows:
New friendship spell First date confidence charm Releasing negative attachments spell Job interview success spell Successful business spell Anxiety calming spell Speedy recovery healing bath Protection spell for pets
The most successful magic is focused, personal, and yes-fun! Enjoy trying out these spells and other workings, and if you wish, let them be a springboard of inspiration for expanding and refining your own magical practice. Take note of your results in your own personal Book of Shadows, and don't forget to honor your successes with love and gratitude!

Great reading and ready to try
If you're new to wicca and spells this is a MUST HAVE. It is soo simple to follow and understand. It promotes positivity and doesn't endorse the use of anything negative. I'm excited to try my first spell and will be referring back to this bookfor the use of several more spells. And i do look forward to getting and reading more from this author. Thank you Lisa, and Blessed Be :)

A good collection of practical spellwork. I usually prefer to write my own spells but reading premade spells often gives me inspiration and I found plenty here. I liked that this book didn't use ridiculous, hard to find ingredients that make the spell cost a fortune to cast. This one had a good assortment of spells you could actually use with ingredients you can easily find.

I received this book as a Christmas gift from a friend and it now sits proudly on my altar space.
While this book is small, it is beautifully presented and really easy to follow. The spells aren't overly complex and the items you need aren't too difficult to come across, so even for beginners like myself it isn't too intimidating.
The variety of spells is nice too, however I probably could have done with less love type spells and more protection or healing type stuff, but hey! Each to their own when it comes to spellwork.
Overall, not too much to say on this one other than it is a lovely addition to any witch's collection!

December 20, 2025Functionally a cookbook for intentions and affirmations. I thought it was a nice compilation of positive ritual. I find most of the suggestions in here no different than prayer or other traditionally religious ritual, just a little more physically tangible.

I think this book is really suspicious? Only because I really cannot tell if this is a ghost writer or not, and plus sometimes ill look up the quotes and find the exact same ones on her website so...why pay for this? Overall this book just regurgitates the same information, appropriates cultures while doing it, and really isn't valuable to a practitioner who is just starting. This is just a book of random spells when beginners would profit more from being taught how to do spells.

Good intro into the practice of Wicca.
This simple, easy to read guide will get you started on spell casting using practical means. Most of the required materials are things you have in the house. Anything extra can easily be ordered online or found in a health food store. It's a good start for learning the craft.

A Good Book To Start With
I have read many books on Wicca. They have been somewhat wordy. But this book is the simplest that I have read. I feel no intimidation like I did with the others that I own. I can't wait to get supplies to start.

I feel like even if you aren't practicing, there are some good things in here about energy and could be used for meditation rather than spells. That being said, good explanations of each spell and why you'd use it. Good basics book.

This is a great spell book for beginners and a good source for refreshing ones mind if they are further along the path. This book doesn't tell you what wicca/magick is, but it contains a lot of useful little spells.

I didn't get my letter to Hogwarts so... I need to study by myself now >:(
But really, this book is amazing and funny at the same time, it is a good occasion to focus on yourself, your well-being and your emotions. I truly recommend it!

Como guía básica para conocer los conceptos primarios está muy bien, pero es solo un primer paso de aprendizaje.

Wicca is all new to me. I'm definitely learning as I go. I can appreciate all that this book has to offer and may even practice what I read.

Simple, straightforward spells presented in an easy to follow manner and very positive energy.
A good primer for beginner Wicca as it dabbles a bit into pretty much all types of spellcasting.
