Love Magic: The Way to Love Through Rituals, Spells, and the Magical Life

It's too bad I can't give this book 6 stars and up!!! I devoured this book as well as all of Laurie's other books. However, one might say that "the older the book the better". To me that does not make any sense. She teaches Witchcraft from a scientific perspective, which is more than I can say for many other "older" books written. After all, they merely tell you HOW Witchcraft and magick works, but NEVER how or WHY! And, people claim that she is too commercial. I have never seen this in any way! If she were REALLY all that "commercial", then, she would meantion her line of products in her books without giving the recipes for making them. However, she DOES meantion the products to be used AS WELL AS the recipes with which to make them. Now, this does not bear the ring of "being commercial" don't you think? Oh, and another thing, just because a book is "older" does not in any way mean that they are better (period) so you can use this as an excuse to decry any other "new" or well known author's books. Oh, and I personally would not recommend Gerina Dunwish's book "Wicca Love Spells" as a substitute for Laurie's marvulous book because it uses blood in several of the spells, either in someone's food or to prick your own finger, etc. So, I would HIGHY recommend Laurie's book, "Love Magic". As it also gives a lot of GREAT and common sense info. concering the ethics of love spells which REALLY get you to think! It was a wonderful book from page one to the final word!!!

I wasn't sure about what this author's book would be like. I had heard so much..... she was too commercialized, etc.... But I decided to judge for myself. I am happy to say that I found her book to be very responsibilly written. Her views are consistant with what the Craft is really all about. I have read quite a few books on this subject.... this one is one of the best.... I wouldn't hesitate to read another of her books!

This is a wonderful book detailing not only a host of spells to attract new lovers, and discourage unwanted advanced, but a good introduction to the art of magick and the philosophy of Wicca. I would recommend it for those not even particularly interested in love spells per se!

The steps and potions are easy to do. The great thing is that they actually work too!!! I loved it..

This book was to become my first encounter with the practices and rituals of the Pagan. I truly appreciated the explanations given by the authors in regards to many differents rituals and other spells. Mostly, I enjoyed the freedom it gave my inner-self to experience, and hence gain, different perspectives of life, love and humanity. I strongly recommend this book to anyone who wishes to find out more about "the magic of love and the things we do for love"!!!
