Synopsis from Publisher: Laurie Cabot, the Official Witch of Salem, Massachusetts, opens up her Book of Shadows, the Witch's tome of spells, recipes, and secrets, to share them with the world. Here you will find everything from the essentials of how to create and cast your own spells to detailed recipes and rituals from Laurie's years of experience as a high priestess and Witch.
Review: ***Full Disclosure: I have admired Laurie Cabot's work for years, and a few years ago had the amazing opportunity to study with this remarkable woman. Whether you agree with her practices and beliefs or not, there is no denying the power of this Witch.***
Laurie Cabot's Book of Spells & Enchantments is filled with helpful guides and wisdom for anyone
interested in the practice of Witchcraft. Her advice is sound and offers incredible opportunities for both novice and more seasoned practitioners. This book moves beyond the standard "Wicca 101" book that is so prevalent on shelves theses days and moves into a more in-depth study of a still largely misunderstood spiritual practice.
From teaching the rudiments of spell work to the most complicated of rituals, Laurie addresses the subject with clear authority gained through years of practice. She offers information on the Crystal Countdown--a means to achieve an altered mindset in which to work majick--and the importance of having clear intentions and respecting the law of karma. She discusses altar tools and the setting up of the altar, but the information goes so much deeper than the basics.
Perhaps the most interesting and valuable material gathered in this book is the vast amount of information on Laurie's on Cabot Tradition. Until now, much of the knowledge passed along to the reader here could only be gained by attending workshops in Salem, MA with Laurie herself. Although there is no true substitute for the experience of the workshops, if you've ever been curious about the Cabot Tradition and its practices, Laurie Cabot's Book of Spells & Enchantments is the book for you.
