I have learned a lot about Ancient Greek religion and history and the things she says about Ancient Greek Gods and history are... well out of context, spun to fall in line with the authors personal beliefs, and are incomplete. She also calls the Gods spirits several times. They are not spirits, they were not considered spirits. The Ancient Greeks believed in Spirits there is a very big distinction between a spirit, a God, a daemon, and Nymphs. She talks about syncretism and how Aphrodite was associated with Anahita but Anahita was also associated with Athena for being war like as an example of why syncretism is confsuing which would be great except that Aphrodite was also a war Goddess. She has epithets that literally refer to her as “the war like” Magic spells take many forms, avail themselves of many powers, and depend upon various elements, tools, and components. Some of these elements, tools and components occur naturally on Earth, whilst others are crafted by people. Sometimes these elements and components can be categorized neatly into categories and sometimes, magic being the unruly, disobedient force that it is, they overlap and merge in a surreal dream-like manner. Following over a decade of independent study, I earned a certificate in therapeutic aromatherapy. I served on the faculty of the Australasian College of Herbal Studies as an aromatherapy tutor, teaching the certification program.

I've given it a 4.5 because when reading through the spells, a lot was unclear. For example, I can't remember what the spell was, but it had something to do with placing underneath your partner's side of the bed... but... for how long and what are the side effects once it is removed? After seeing that I saw a lot of the spells are like that. Do the thing, and leave it __. Then it moves onto the next spell. It's a big book, so I can understand the instructions being short here and there - and there definitely ARE spells that say "leave _ for _ nights and then...", but other than that, I'd say this is a good book to have. It's definitely a fun book for a writer (which is the reason I started buying these books when I was younger) who wants to have a better understanding over their character interested in this world or anyone who wants to learn about different religious beliefs outside of their own.

From Merlin and Grimm’s fairytales, to Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter and Disney’s Sorcerer’s Apprentice, plus countless other fantasy stories, the master spell book has a place in our collective imagination. This book is that fantasy made real. Born in New York City, my metaphysical career began early: My first encounter with tarot cards at age six was also my first experience of love at first sight! That passion still burns true. Although I do practice other forms of divination, tarot remains the foundation of my practice. The book goes beyond merely the Wiccan tradition to include a multitude of eastern and western magical traditions whilst fulfilling the archetypal fantasy of the grand grimoire (master spell book).

Ever fantasized about brewing potions, conjuring spirits, or turning your loved ones into tiny critters? Look no further! The Element Encyclopedia of 5000 Spells is your one-stop reference book for all your magical mischief. While it may not uncover the elusive "wife-to-mouse" spell, it certainly keeps the enchantment alive!Of course, with 5000 spells there are many that can be used and adapted to your own specific requirements, but don't expect them all to be easy magic that involves a coloured candle and a bit of string... I enjoy reading through the obscure spells as well as the 'usable' ones as I think this book is such a valuable resource in preserving those spells which may otherwise be forgotten. Alas, my fellow seekers of arcane enchantments, this book doesn't quite fulfill that particular wish. But don't despair! The Element Encyclopedia of 5000 Spells offers a treasure trove of knowledge on a wide array of magical practices. From spells for love and prosperity to protection and divination, it covers spells that cater to the deepest desires of our mystical hearts. A lifelong pursuit of metaphysical wisdom followed and continues: astrology, mythology, Kabbalah, the Egyptian mysteries as well as spiritual, magical and healing traditions from all over Earth but particularly Africa and Asia. Today there are many books of spells for specific needs and occasions for the practising Wiccan/witch, but no comprehensive and inclusive magic reference book exists. The witty commentary peppered throughout the book adds an enjoyable and comical touch. I can't help but giggle at the author's personal anecdotes and the snarky remarks regarding some of the less successful spells. Just remember, folks, when transforming loved ones into rodents, proper caution is advised to avoid unleashing a plague of unleashed mice!

You really need to read the beginning of the book both to know the context of the spells as well as the disclaimers since some of the spells are not meant to be casted and only kept as a record and utilize potentially dangerous substances. Do your research. The spells are not meant for beginners and the magic in the book is so diverse most adepts will learn something from it too as well as the context of the spells

Full Book Name: The Element Encyclopedia of 5000 Spells: The Ultimate Reference Book for the Magical Arts There are many styles of spells, featuring all sorts of ingredients. If one style of spell doesn't suit you, there are others. Afraid of fire? Cast your spell by creating enchanted baths. Don't have a tub? Brew potions or tie magical knots. If one ingredient is unobtainable, there are substitutes. If you can't afford precious gems and resins, there are plenty of powerful magical materials masquerading as common kitchen ingredients. Magical energy is irrepressible; magic spells are the controlled conduit fordirecting this magical energy. There is only one component of every magic spell that you cast that cannot be replaced and that is YOU. Yours is the unique binding energy that provides the spark of life which transforms actions, words and thoughts into magic spells. This is the magical equivalent of a prize and inspirational cookbook: nothing is too basic to be explained and yet sophisticated tastes as well as emergency situations are catered for.
