THE COMPLETE BOOK OF SPELLS covers some basics about Wicca along with spells of beginning, love, friendship, groups, pairs, ending, healing, soothing, protection, courage, abundance, prosperity, and charity. The final chapter includes land rites including Wiccan lunar and solar celebrations. The book also has introduction, endnote, conclusion, index, glossary, references, and resources sections.
The layout and organization are great. I really like the artwork throughout.
The opening chapter touches on the history of spells and Wicca, the practice, supplies/tools, preparation, and creating/closing a circle. Chapter two includes some basic beginning practice spells such as preparing tools and taking a magical name, as well as spells around fertility and blessing a home. Chapter three focuses on new loves, existing relationships, and families. Chapter four involves group spell-casting for covens and non-coven partnerships. Chapter five delves into both unwanted and necessary endings such as divorce, death, easing a broken heart, and breaking bad habits. Chapter six addresses emotional, general, and elemental healing. Chapter seven explores personal protection (self, home, and travel) and special situations (e.g. curse removal, confrontations, and courtroom justice.) Chapter eight involves attaining abundance, handling money, and charity. Chapter nine examines rituals for special times such as full moon, new moon, creating a seasonal circle, special holiday celebrations, garden blessings, and gnome magic. The book also includes instruction for creating mojo bags and poppets.
I appreciate the inclusivity and lack of judgement shown in the presentation of material. Care is given to address non-traditional partnerships such as polyamory, and the spells for groups provide guidance on alternatives to “so mote it be” to ensure the comfort of each participant. The introduction stresses “you are in charge of your magic.”
The book should work well for a new practitioner as well as a seasoned one. I really liked how the author showed cultural sensitivity in explaining how the term “smudge” is specific to Native American rituals, while “purify” is more general. The book met my expectations for a research tool on Wiccan ritual.

I received a review copy of this book from the publisher but, jokes on them, I was going to buy it anyway.
I have long been a fan of Deborah Lipp. She is a relatable, down to earth, and thorough woman with decades in the Craft.
Something that struck me early on was how trans-inclusive Lipp is in her spells. She acknowledges how one spell might not be appropriate when one is transitioning and another that is a letting go spell for when your friend is transitioning into their real gender. This is not a level of understanding that one always finds in spell books, which can be rigidly binary and trans-exclusive, having derived from up-lineage people who were not openminded.
There is also a polyamory spell, the first I have ever seen. Best of all, it involves flinging dolls around to "find," which is an image that made me titter.
A small concession is also given toward people who do not drink alcohol. Some covens are insistent that it had better be high octane or the gods want nothing to do with you. The same thing with spicy food (which I do enjoy).
It should be said that this does exactly what it says on the cover. For the basics, for anyone just getting into the Craft, this is everything you need to start. Finding someone, marrying, separating? All covered with simple workings.
I *loved* that Lipp included a fire extinguisher as an essential witchcraft supply. We've all been there, dousing the sacred flame on our altar cloth with the sacred water.
The rituals are collected in a logical sequence, so you could easily read it cover to cover the first time to get a feel for what a witch can do. Otherwise, it is easy to find exactly the spell for which you are looking.
Also, this is a lovingly illustrated book. It is one you are either going to need in print or a color ereader because you are not going to get the full effect with e-ink.
This won't be the last book you need on your path, but it will give you one of the better foundations you can find. I recommend it as the book a beginner gets, as a lot out there is rubbish. I am certain I will consult it in the future.

What a lovely book for beginners... Really sweet spells for different applications and a section on rituals for the Sabbaths that you can do on your own.

Worth having in your library
I've been a beginning witch for sixty years, but this book will help my witchy journey. It's a keeper, but keep track of it if you loan it out.
