This book not only chronicles this author's fascinating, and at times terrifying, personal experiences with haunted houses and ghostly encounters, but it also provides authentic Witches' spells, rituals, charms, herbs, and oils to conjure, banish, and protect against the spirits of the dead. With the aid of this book, you will learn how to properly conduct a séance, how to use a Ouija board to communicate with spirits, know how to recognize and interpret messages from the dead who appear in dreams, see how to investigate a haunting like professional ghost-hunters do, and much more. It will teach you the dark secrets of ancient necromancy-the once-forbidden occult art of divination by the dead and help you explore the dangers associated with obsession and possession, and let you gaze upon the world of spiritualism from its early days in Victorian-era England to the present.

Whether or not you are new to the pagan path, I think this book is worthy of any magickal and/or spiritual collection. I enjoyed it very much, even though I far from being new to the path.
There’s some interesting lore in here, and general information about God’s and supernatural beings from various cultures. I’m skeptical about most everything in this book, but it was entertaining to say the least.
It was a very interesting book, and it kept my attention the whole time I was reading it. But other than a few tidbits of information, unless I was simply miss understanding the book, I found no valuable information on the supernatural for someone who considers them self to be a witch.
