Crone’s Book of Magical Words
Crone’s Book of Magical Words previously published as The Crone’s Book of Words by Valerie Worth is the book you’ve been waiting for! In its pages are over 125 spells, incantations and charms. If you can think of a purpose for a spell, it’s probably in this book. Need a spell to summon a ghost? Or perhaps you want the opposite: a spell to free a house from being haunted. They’re both in this book. Do you need something to help you lose weight or have longevity? You’ll find them here. Or perhaps you want to pass through a locked door. It’s all in this book. Even if you don’t know a thing about magic, you can use this book. The spells are easy, poetic, and evocative. For example, to cure a wart the instructions are: ‘Stamp within a silver cup mullein and houseleek together. Stir them with a sparrow’s feather. Let it draw the juices up; Twenty times upon one day, brush them over the excrescence; Under sunlight dry the essence Soon the wart must shrink away.’ The range in this book is phenomenal. You’ll find a simple fertility charm and a way to conjure with smoke. You’ll read about how to bring rain and how to stop rain from falling. You’ll learn how to tell fortunes with sand or with tea leaves. This is more than just a book about magic, it is a folklorist’s bonanza. If you’re ready to win another’s love or to sweeten someone’s disposition, if you want to turn hair long and golden or discover tree spirits, this is the book you must have. Whether you have been doing magic for a long time or are a beginner, this book is a must.
Crone’s Book of Charms and Spells
If you’re looking for a book with lots of practical techniques and spells, you want Valerie Worth’s Crone’s Book of Charms & Spells previously published as The Crone’s Book of Wisdom. In these pages you’ll find how to make talismans and amulets for over 60 purposes. There are talismans for wisdom and against evil, for safety in travel, and to inspire passion. You’ll learn how to make a talisman to win love, for improved health, and to be safe from all harm. You’ll find dozens more, too. Also included are the magical powers for over 60 common herbs. The sunflower can bestow great strength upon you. Thistle can be used to treat bleeding wounds. The buttercup confers harmony on a household. How to use these herbs is fully explained in this book, along with instructions for using many more. Next come ‘thrice a dozen charms.’ These 36 charms include one to break a troublesome habit, and another to assuage anger and ill feeling. Others include a charm to win honor and favor in the eyes of others, and another to procure your heart’s desire. Again, you’ll find the methods easy to do, but also very effective. You could be doing them tonight! The last section of this book reveals ceremonies for the year, a set of 12 rituals to be performed on New Year, at mid February, the equinoxes and solstices, and more. These are ideal if you are a solitary Wiccan, but can also be adapted for group work. No matter your magical skill level, from beginner to advanced, you can use this book. It will enhance your magical repertoire to include ideas you may not have considered. This book is an excellent addition to any collection of magical books.
