Really not bad!
It's not my system of beliefs so that's why I was reading it.
Found a type-o within the first pages and unfortunately that kinda discredited it for me. Really, it wasn't bad. There was lots of helpful information from a lot of different systems of belief including catholic ones.
Happy to say I can now be less afraid of magick with a k.

PS. MAD respect for this book teaching love and healing rather than revenge. Even the love spells were like "Attract the person right for you. Not the one you have a crush on rn" That's badass.

It has an interesting array of altar layouts and candle work. His pendulum work is indepth also, and uses his own style. He's very much into healing. Easy to read.

Fairly good for the advancing practitioner of magick, a great way to delve into the deeper world of magick without being completely thrown off tangent.
