A Century of Spells

I liked this bok very much. I have an older printing with a different cover so Im not sure if the new edition is any different. I really enjoy the author's style in writing and his material seems well researched. This is NOT a wiccan book, this is based more on a mystical catholic style and contains wisdom from african and african based tradtitons. There are a lot of spell books on the market, this is one of the few good ones.

Nicely written and easy to understand, I found this book a good reference search for magical works. Most of the ingredients are quite easy to find except one had me scouring the local hardware stores for almost 8 months before I could find the stuff. But in the end, all's well that ends well. I like the author's work and I feel she has set a certain style when it comes to appealing to general needs and senses. Even the title of this book is very enticing. Who can possibly ignore such a treasured find? Imagine..a century of secrets tuck between the pages for a small price. Well, as for whether the spells work, I cannot really say cos I did perform some protection spell and I know nothing is 100% full proof. But again, perhaps it did in its own mysterious ways; although for real dramatics," The Truth About Witchcraft Today" by the late Scott Cunningham did grab my total awe for immediate results.

I have a vast collection of books on magick, spells and witchcraft - some good, some not so - but this one is my bible! It's always the first volume I grab when in need and I've had some great results.

This is a great book...It's filled with a hundred spells from various cultures, religions and traditions that work independent of any specific culture, religion or tradition. What's wonderful about it, is that Draja focuses on making magick PRACTICAL. How refreshing! A lot of the spells are simple to perform and require items that are easily available to most people. There are a few spells that i find to be rather peculiar or overly time-consuming, but they're an interesting read at the least. He provides practical spells for most of the situations that people encounter in their daily lives...money, health, jobs, luck, relationships, etc. He does have a slight paternal tone in telling people not to alter the spells, but i take that to simply be a guardrail for the novice magick user. It's a great little sourcebook for spells and as inspiration to help you create your own. Definately a "must-have" for me! =))
