I liked this book. The author seems very down to earth and friendly and her writing is charming--no pun intended.

What set this book apart from other similar books, in my opinion, is that the author stresses to the reader that for one thing, they do not have to do things exactly as she does. She encourages her readers to find their own path in magical working and listen to their internal voice to do what feels right. She also makes the ingredients and objects required for the working of magic seem more accessible by reinforcing that you don't have to use the most expensive things out there to make a spell work.

This is a very positive book that makes you feel good when you read it. There are times when the author is funny, explaining some of her mishaps and little accidents and times when she makes her readers stop and reflect on their lives, their goals and dreams and what they want to accomplish. The advice for spells and incantations that she provides are useful. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone wishing to know more about adding a bit of positive energy into their kitchen.

This review is based on a complimentary copy from the publisher, provided through Netgalley. All opinions are my own.

I liked this one, I read her other Kitchen Witchcraft book and liked it too. Easily able to switch them and make them your own.

Informative and engaging, especially helpful for those beginning to walk down this path. I enjoyed this book very much. I voluntarily read this book via NetGalley in exchange for my honest opinion.

Brilliant. I really enjoyed this book and it is great for anyone on any level. It is a book of simple spells and charms for ones home with items that are from your kitchen and garden. I really enjoyed how she explained that you do not need an intensive list of ingredients to make a spell and to make the spell your own and that you must believe in it.

I wouldn't usually have gone in to read this one but I was intrigued as to what it would suggest and so here we are. It isn't really a book you would read from cover to cover but one that is more of a reference guide that you can dip in and out of when necessary. Although I am not what would be classed, in any way, as a witch, I do feel that there are many many forces in this world that we are yet to comprehend and, due to that, I wouldn't rule anything out.

I am not a religious person and would much rather believe in forces of good than believe in and worship a god. I am a spiritual person so this appeals to me more than a religious text would. Religion, in my opinion, is nothing but a method to control and manipulate the masses. I don't have a problem with those who do follow a religion as I respect everyone is different and if that brings you comfort and peace then I don't blame those who feel like that and worship that force. I think that denying the existence of magic is the same as denying the existence of a god - there is no way to know either way so impartiality is the way to go in my view. Wow, that became incredibly heavy all of a sudden... Onwards...

I mean what can be the harm in having a book that helps you to cast spells that may improve your life, not due to the "magic" of the spell but because in doing so you are thinking about the things that are important to you that you wish to change - that is the first real step in moving towards making that change for the better.

This is an ideal book for those seeking to help push their lives into new and better territory and perfect for those who truly believe in magic and witchcraft. Rachel Patterson seems to have other titles in this vein which would be worth a look too. One of the great things about this book is that the ingredients you need for the spells are items that most people will have at home anyway, that makes it accessible and easy for the casters to gather everything needed without spending a fortune.

I would like to thank Rachel Patterson, John Hunt Publishing Ltd and NetGalley for inviting me to read and review an ARC of this title. All my opinions are honest and my own.

A fun and accessible read about basic spells and charms. I liked the emphasis on not having to spend a lot of money and using what you hVe at hand.

Kitchen Witchcraft: Spells & Charms by Rachel Patterson is a book you want to keep close to hand as it will be used frequently as a hands on reference. It explains how to cast spells in easy terms. From money spells and love spells to what to do with the leftovers from your workings. Using what you have instead of going out and spending a lot of money is also part of what makes this book very usable.. Using different phases of the moon, charging and recharging magical objects, charms as opposed to amulets are just a few of the many subjects taught. This author has written one of the best books on this subject and one I think that should be in everyone's library. Being High Priestess of the Kitchen Witch Coven and an Elder at the online Wyrd Witches/ Kitchen Witch School makes her an authority on the subject. I received this book from Net Galley for an honest review.

Despite being interested in the craft, Kitchen Witchcraft is the first book I've read on the subject.
I found it to be interesting and informative, especially for a beginner.
I would definitely recommend it.

It was okay. I really don't want to say much because it simply wasn't up my alley but I'm really certain others will like it, so I want to be fair.

Kitchen Witchcraft: Spells & Charms is an interesting little book that guides you to do simple spells and charms from one's home. I enjoyed it and would recommend it for those wanting to learn simple spells and charms.
