My Rating: ✩✩✩✩✩

As a dabbler in spells and ritual, a big turn off for me has always been the seemingly precious and gate-keepy way that practice has always been treated. As an open practice based on intention, the physically and mentally time consuming nature of setting up altars, calling the four corners etc. always seemed like a huge deterrent. What about people who do not have the resources (time, money, ability, focus)? The answer to that is this book and this style of practice.

Like a good beginner cookbook, this spellbook starts with the basics and makes magick accessible for anyone from anywhere. Recognizing that intention is what matters, Samayoa guides the reader though what one needs to know, gather and consider when casting. Using readily available spell ingredients and equipment (with safety always in mind) this book makes a fantastic reference for practitioners new and experienced. The pictures are lovely, the layout intuitive and easy to reference, the book is a treat just to read.
