I love all of Lindsay Squire's books and "The Witch's Book of Spells" did not disappoint. This book is ideal for Witches who have been practicing for a little while, because it covers so much information. This book is a nice combination of European and North American magicks, everything from Wiccan holidays to Hoodoo, and Granny Magick. I absolutely loved this book, I wish this volume was around about twenty five years ago, because it would have saved me from researching, gathering, and handwriting one of my earlier Grimoires. This book is a must have for your witch library!

This is a cute spellbook for those who like to cook or bake, want to celebrate the wheel of the year and have an array of different types of spells at their fingertips. It is laid out well and doesn’t seem to over complicate.

I love this book. This is a great introduction to Magick, even for a beginner. It is very informative and includes everything you need to know in a clear and concise way. There is a great contents page so you can find exactly what you are after. Very easy to dip in and out of. There is a great introduction which explains Magic and Spells. Then there is an extensive list of spells - lots to aid personal development and growth.
The writing is empowering and thought provoking. The cover is very cute too. Thanks to NetGalley for this addition to my library!

What a great book. I love all the different chapters and especially enjoyed the beginning of the book that incorporated seasonal recipes. Each chapter is divided into different sections from healing, to buying a house and even a happy pet spell. The drawings are perfectly matched to the spells. At the end of the book, there is a glossary of items that includes oils, crystals, herbs and more. Also the different symbols and the meanings they are attached with. I am going to begin with a simple spell for psychic abilities and move on to a prosperity spell. I can’t wait to make one of the yummy recipes.
