This is white witch Titania Hardie's complete guide to white magic. Based on the 13 moons which make up the witch's calendar, each chapter covers an aspect of magic which is governed by a moon and which has its own colour, scent and number associated with it. Included are chapters on divination, love and fertility magic, herbal and healing magic, and spells for enchanting and disenchanting, for safe travel, for peace at home, and for success.
Born and educated in Sydney, Australia, Titania Hardie is the highly successful author of a range of distinctive books published in the UK on folklore, magic, and divination, and recently a new series of children's books, The Frangipani Fairies. She has first-class honors degrees in psychology and English and was awarded the prestigious Chatterton scholarship for post-graduate study at Bristol University, where she is currently completing her M.A. on the Romantic poets. The Rose Labyrinth is her first novel. Titania lives in Somerset with her husband and two daughters.
I like the way the book dedicates each chapter to each of the 13 moons of the year and describes its associations such as colors, scents, herbs, spells, etc.
beautiful photography. goes through the Celtic tree calendar; with cute spells and such for each correspondence. Great for beginners as well as reference for future use.
My wonderful aunt, a white witch, I think, *winks*, gave me a copy of this book. It was my first intro on a written level to this world. It stirred me and I've read many more books in this area since. A great starting read to get the 'feel' perhaps?
