First, disregard the reviews that say this is Wiccan. It is not. It’s straight new agey spellwork, and the author explicitly says she was initiated as a Druid. There are similarities between Druidry (Druidism?) and Wicca, but they are not the same.
Second, this is a spell book. The idea that this has something to do with dream work is only in the framing. It’s standard, “call guardians, draw a circle of light, light this candle after anointing in this oil, say these words, maybe make a small craft.” The only addition to this is “go to bed.”
In the beginning I thought this might be different, because the author tells you to make a “dream altar” in your bedroom. I was excited about the idea, but as I read on, I realized it was nothing more than a working altar to do your spells on. Only the last chapter discusses any kind of hedgewitchery, spirit work, etc, and very lightly. Also, it’s clear the author hasn’t actually performed many of these spells. “Do this on a Wednesday three days before the full moon.” You know that’s very specific, right? There’s like five months between the next two times that will happen. Plus, have you ever folded a piece of paper NINE times? Try. Go ahead, I’ll wait. And she suggests this for several spells.
Besides the variations in small crafts, most of these spells are very much the same as each other. I did learn two new things reading this. 1) I had never heard of a placket, and the idea of this little pouch that’s left on your altar to do its thing is not exactly a new concept, but it’s a fine technique. 2) I had not heard the term “fouled anchor” before, and now I’m obsessed with the image of an anchor tangled up in its chain. Because of these things, it didn’t get a one star rating.
Don’t rely on the mythology discussed in this book. The author confused the stories Sleeping Beauty and Snow White, so who knows what else got mixed up? She mostly refers to mythology I’m not very familiar with, so I’d take any of it with a grain of salt. Points for at least having a bibliography in the back.
Some of the language and even spellwork is dated. This was written in 2000, so I wouldn’t have thought that would be the case. But I almost tapped out when I saw the spell to bring more email! 😂😂😂 Gods, no, please, no! But this was the advent of email time, and a reference to the AOL announcement “You’ve got mail!” reminded me just how long ago this was written.
This wasn’t a *bad* book overall, though there are definitely some issues. It’s just dry. Maybe it’s not meant to be read through like I did. But it’s only 250 pages, and I *suffered* through that. Pick something else up instead. There’s better books out there.
I'm not a huge fan of Wiccan spirituality, so I honestly don't know how I ended up with this book. But what I can tell you is that it was alright. The gendered language being used for objectively non-gendered beings, was a little much. The cultural appropriation was a lot, Knight kept on insisting to use sage, while not describing what kind or what it means, the same goes with almost everything in this book too. She would bring up chakras, kind of describe what they mean but not really, like I understand you can't but everything in your book, but the least you can do is put a little more effort in explaining them especially since Knight is white and should be consensus of different cultures that she says to use when working on the spells. That being said I will be using some of these dream spells, but altering them to be more incisive with the language, because personally the binary gendered stuff she uses makes me really uncomfortable.
I have not seen anything so perfect as Dr. Oaikhen spell, I have always lived a life of a happy man but when my lover left me then everything about me changed, This was because I loved her so much and at times she was always part of my daily life. I was in pain for some days till I came across Dr. Oaikhen confidential details which led me to contact Dr. Oaikhen and through his help my lover who left me came back to me and right now she is more interested in me than before. These are some of the things you intend to benefit from when you contact Dr. Oaikhen through the following details via WhatsApp: at +229 5794 6279
This is a good collection of spells but it is definitely Wiccan-focused. Nothing wrong with that in my opinion but if you aren’t into Wicca this book may not be for you. Also some of the spells require a lot more materials than others so be aware of that.
Love this book most of the spells are simple and easy to understand and I like how its focused more on the moon and night instead of the day and the sun.
