The Little Book of Pocket Spells is a highly recommended read for those who are still new with New Age or Wicca. This 150-page is filled with interesting information and I learned a lot from perusing this small book. I discover about the power of herbs such as rosemary, thyme, sage, and lavender; even garlic and onions are also helpful in cleaning an area. Furthermore, some spells were written in this tiny book such as charms for wealth, grief, and protecting a child.

The Little Book of Pocket Spells is a pretty little book that's ideal for those who are new-to or interested in learning the basics of being a modern witch.

Each page gives a snippet of information, a specific spell, or basic important facts that all witches should know. Starting with the basics (like choosing an appropriate magick name) the book then meanders through various useful tips for everything from essential ingredients to have on hand to various methods of using visualization to succeed.

I am particularly taken with the number of beauty tips in this book and I look forward to seeing the results from the daily Auric Facials I've been doing.

Thank you to NetGalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for providing me with a DRC of this book.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for giving me this book to review. All opinions are my own. My rating is 2.5
This book was okay. It was nothing more than a compilation of spells(not really spells, but tips and tricks) that could easily be found on any website, book, or Tumblr blog. I was excited about this book, thinking I'd learn some information I didn't already know or couldn't access. Instead I got a bunch of little tips that weren't as amazing as I thought. The layout of the book was quite cute with the whole watercolors but other than that this book wasn't as amazing as I thought it would. I am grateful to be able to read it!

I love this little book. I’ve tried several of the spells and find it psychologically satisfying. I bought another copy for a friend. I believe my favorite part is the fact that the spells are very positive and tend to change your mind just by completing them. It reminds me of the Good Witch TV show. I also like the fact that by performing these spells I am taken completely out of my comfort zone. For example, one of the spells had me bury remnants in a graveyard. I loved it. At the graveyard, I found myself yelling at the person I created the spell about. It was very therapeutic. Highly recommend.

Found this book in my local library! There were actually a couple spells I was impressed with and tried out. Much to my surprise I found they worked very well! And quickly , too! That it harm none....

Would be good to have either a contents page or index to be able to search up spells for specific issues. Nice little book though.

Found this book a few years back at a bookshop, was intrigued and so I got it, it has been on my “to read” pile for a while.

This is a good book for beginners although you have to have timing and the supplies

[Annarella · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book is wonderfully illustrated and would be great for people who are starting their path in the Craft or who want a quick reference guide on this topic.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC

This book would make a great gift for someone interested in Wicca, Witchcraft, or general New Age practices and subjects. It's a lovely introduction to various concepts and types of spellwork, and the illustrations add visual appeal. A good book for beginniners or those with casual interest, and gives plenty of starting points from which one might embark on deeper investigations.

Akasha Moon's "The Little Book of Pocket Spells" has been updates with beautiful illustrations of water colours and intricate mandalas making it a treasure to behold. Within the pages of this book are some interesting little tidbits of magic. There are a few things that I will remember and use in the future, but I found a good deal of it is rather silly. Fabulous for a younger audience and those who are just starting to explore the ideas and methodologies of witchcraft. 3.5 Stars

A book you can take any where for reference. Something you can use everyday. The Sabbats and phases of the moon are at your fingertips. Well written. Just so much information in one book. I loved it. I also preordered one for a friend of mine. I received this book from Net Galley for an honest review and no compensation otherwise.

This pocket book of spells is a great introduction to the Wicca life. It gives important dates for wiccas including not just the typically equinox/solstice but also some of the lesser mentioned sabbats i.e. Imbolc, beltane. In regards to the sabbats she mentioned, Akansha Moon also reminds the reader that the specific dates are just for practicality and if you want to honor them when you feel these events occuring you are able to do so without having to wait until the "day". Moon then proceeds with detailing the meanings behind the lunar tides, from new to dark moon and giving the approximate dates for the various seasonal tides that occur to remove the old and bring in the new. After a few more basic suggestions concerning bath purification and other cleansings, Moon starts the spells section. Of course she starts with a simple love spell to attract a new love, then she moves on to blessing spells that involve baking bread, and a basic reminder of the Wicca's code of ethics, to harm no one. I am curious as to the strength of some of the spells mentioned by Moon, and a few of them echo spells I have encountered elsewhere. I cannot wait to try out a couple of them to see how powerful they are. If you are a beginning Wicca or just need to know a quicker spell to help you get results, this is definitely the book for you. A lot of the ingredients are basic like rosemary, mistletoe berries (or cranberries if they are easier to find), clove oil, etc.
