The Spell Book of a Wicked Witch: Magic Spells To Curse Your Enemies, Hex Your Ex, And Jinx The Jerks in Your Life

by Thalia Thorne

True freedom means being a bit wicked. Some "modern" witches believe that you should only use magic to bring positive energy into the world, and most spell books teach you those types of spells. This spell book is different . This spell book is wicked. There are times when you will be hurt by someone you loved, betrayed by someone you trusted, maligned by someone you thought was your friend. Times when the magic of light and love just will not do. This spell book will teach you how to make your own justice with 50 magic spells that work ,
Thalia Thorne is an experienced witch and falls firmly into the camp that knows that there is no such thing as “white magic” or “black magic”. If you’re not pushing back against those who would walk all over you, then you’re just going to end up being a doormat. The spells in this book use simple ingredients and provide step-by-step directions that a beginner can follow. The next time someone wrongs you, will you turn the other cheek? Or will you be wicked?

It's so refreshing to see a book about dark magic for once. Most spell books or books about magic you see are all fluffy bunny Wiccan dogma about "harm none" and the 3-fold Rule. Bah!

I would've liked a little more detail about protection, though. It's mentioned that protection is highly suggested several times, but examples aren't given that I noticed. I get the impression that the author isn't talking about magic circles...

I haven't gotten around to working any of these spells, but my review is of the book itself and how it's written, not so much the spells in it. Whether they work or not is mostly up to me, after all. The author just laid the foundation for me to work from, for which I'm grateful.

Anyway, like I said at the start, it's really nice to see a book about dark magic for a change. I love the way this author writes, too, and I hope that she'll write more magic and witchcraft books! I'm already a fan and would be thrilled to see more of her work.

I found some very interesting spells in here that I think will be really helpful. Rated two stars for the lack of options/information regarding substitutions and for the promotion of hoodoo to a general audience.

[The Shakti Witch · Rating 3 out of 5]

The author states that she started her magickal practice journey as a Wiccan but has now found her own path. I still found this deeply rooted in Wiccan dogma in particular her instructions includes warnings if you do not proceed with her exact advice. I find this nonsense as many of us have been using cemeteries for magickal purposes for decades without incidents and did not follow her instruction. And what the hell is the Wiccan obsession with bathing? Energy does not care if you are clean or not. Yes hygiene is important particularly during a pandemic but I can think of better things to spend my money on than all the soap you are gonna need to carry this out.

The spells themselves seem pretty solid although smack of hoodoo which leads me to believe that’s where the author turned to after not finding much in the way of a hex in Wicca.

I would recommend this to any beginner looking to start a left hand path or wanting to broaden their practice.

What am I like 12? Acne. bad hair. YMMV. 30 yrs into the craft may have been good for a younger me.

TW: Mention of animal parts, animal abuse, potential ED/wishing that onto someone, urine, appropriation, destruction of land via littering.

Rating: 1/10, Someone I know found this book and asked me my thoughts, here they are. I wouldn’t recommend the sheer appropriation of Hoodoo involved. This was a weird book, and I’ve read a lot of books. It starts off fine, maybe a little suspicious and then just…nosedives.

Pros: The basic correspondence information is spot on for moon cycles, colors, candles, tools, altar set up, etc. There’s about…four spells or so listed that I found actually useful, a Job Preserving Oil, a Hire Me spell, and an enemy pacifying spell specifically. She does say at first that white and black magic don’t exist but then continues to use the two terms?? That confused me.

Cons: No Bibliography, NONE. There’s a lot of spells that have horrible attachments, like love and obsession spells, and then just…spells that seem gross. Such as a spell to make someone gain weight to “feel bad about themselves”. If that wasn’t enough she has included quite a lot of Hoodoo work, such as a direct Domination Oil (who’s recipe matches what a friend of mine, who practices Hoodoo does to make her own.), cow tongue bindings, sour jars, and a lot more. Plus she advocates for burying or throwing all the spell leftovers into running water, which is pollution btw. And there’s one spell that requires you to boil an egg in your urine and then feed it to some poor cat or dog. I have used urine in spellwork but feeding it to another creature seems like abuse to me. And no pollution. Please ya’ll.

Long story short: Just don't. There are ways to do jinxes, hexes, and baneful work without stealing from closed practices or |hurting poor animals by giving them contaminated food.

I am a competent Ouija board user and tarot card reader. A great book. Very good read. One thing is this book is used for is revenge for those who have caused harm. In many cases where no revenge was called for this book harms people who have done zero wrong. I hope the author puts deflection in some of her spells as to cause serious harm with intent for the sake of it just to injure or worse for no reason then that would need to be addressed by the author of how to repel or deflect intended harm or nullify or zero out any spell designed to harm in this book or any future publishing's.

I give the book 5 stars only because thanks to my Ouija boards and tarot help I have found a user who used spells in this book to harm just for the sake to harm and injure for no other reason than to be a horrible person and now that harm is slowly being deflected on some of the spells. Also the Ouija boards and tarot I used helped point out this book and helped me find some of the spells used to injure for no reason but for the sake just to be a horrible person

Very instructive and easy enough to follow

Very little was left out of this book in teaching those who are interested. For those who try to study on their own, even before reading this book, there are neutral instructions that may help fill in some gaps. There are precautionary sections that I think should be read a few times over, for good measure. My only real personal complaint is that a male reader will have to sift and internally reword much of it, but that is an effort that will reward on its own. It was a smooth read, though.

Not for the Faint of Heart

This is a well-written, concise book which is actually quite dark. I was surprised to read spells which I suspect have been used either on or near me. I was also surprised to read of many things I already have around me. I did not find counter spells or ways to 'turn off' spells which have been cast. There were no spells of self protection or enhancement, perhaps because those are not mean or revenge oriented. I personally will not be using these spells.

[Mari · Rating 4 out of 5]

I don’t agree with everything in this book and some aspects are highly personalized, but I found some interesting bits and pieces that were worth some further contemplation. I even copied a spell or two to tweek for my own repertoire and some highly entertaining ideas for general use. I loved the pimples and bad hair day spells, I’m still snickering when thinking about it. I’m not sure if I would recommend this book for an absolute beginner, but a practitioner with some basic knowledge will find some inspiration if the love and light bullshit just doesn’t cut it.

Simply spellbinding!

I thoroughly agree with your views on life and being able to defend oneself. I'm anxious yet resigned, until I've gained the kind of experience needed to carry out some of these spells. What I'm interested in are long distance spells that don't require a photo of the person or something personal such as nail clippings or hair. Thank you for sharing your skills. Mountain writer

[Mary · Rating 4 out of 5]

It's a very complete book, it has every kind of curse you could imagine, so I would recommend it for anyone interested in getting started on learning about curses. I just got a little uncomfortable about hoodoo being taught without an warning that is a closed practice. I like to know the origin of my spells if they aren't created by the writer so I can think for myself if I should or shouldn't do them, so I felt the lack of this kind of information, that's why I am not giving it four stars. But it's still a good book. Really refreshing to see someone who revolted on wicca, I, as a lot of other witches, am tired of some of them being rulemongers on everyone's craft.

[Ollie Brown · Rating 3 out of 5]

Had very helpful spells! Lost a star because some spells were rooted in hoodoo practices but did not come with that label. I personally practice hoodoo, so this was not an issue for me, but it will be for non-hoodoo readers (hoodoo is a closed practice). Lost the other star because while the spells are very in depth, there is not much information on the herbs used apart from their magickal properties (ex. if any of the herbs are toxic to humans or pets)

[Kayleigh Lawrence · Rating 2 out of 5]

I am glad to see that there are books out there that are more geared towards the left path, but from the description I thought this was going to be a more advanced book. However this is very beginner friendly and all information you can easily find in many other beginners books. I have been practicing for years so unfortunately this was nothing 'new' or groundbreaking for me. This was well written I must say, and if you are a beginner it's a good resource.

[Amy · Rating 3 out of 5]

A spell book is a spell book. This one gives too much information if you're educated with the occults. Everyone teaches differently and has different techniques. Nothing new here. A person that is interested and knows nothing of the subject may find it interesting. Remember kids, it's entertainment purposes only 😉

Helpful information

While this book contains a lot information, the title was misleading. It is stated that this is a spell book, but for the majority of the book, there are no spells. When the spells are finally spoken about, a lot of them are briefly stated, basically stating what the spell is and not exactly what it does.

Quick but informational

Author was very inspiring, and had many tips on commonly not talked about practices. Great introduction for those who don't want to stick to only love and light.

[bea · Rating 3 out of 5]

read this quickly this morning, i found that a lot of the author’s statements are still rooted in wicca but also resonated with some points made in the beginning. i don’t feel that it’s necessary for me to ever use any of the spells listed but it was interesting to read nonetheless.

[Bernadette O'Hara · Rating 4 out of 5]

Great book, informative, funny. Happy it’s not all “love & light”
