This is a wonderful reference book for nearly anyone that practices the Craft. You will find so many helpful tips and information that this is a book that you will surely turn to more than first time you read it!
Easy to read and completely easy to understand the writer seemed to make sure that the points were given so everyone got them.
You can find zodiac, months, days of the week, times and a slew of other things that will make your time easier when you are doing a ritual or a simple working. Everything that you need is right there.
I enjoyed the bits and pieces written about my own zodiac sign and found more information in utilizing more traits that were given in the book.
This is a 5 star book!
More Information:
Is
there an auspicious time for blessing a newborn babe? Wondering what
color candles to use for a winter handfasting? Are there times when it
can be dangerous to work magick? What herbs are best to use when the
Moon is in Cancer?
Magick is intent, but any witch will tell you that intent requires
forethought and preparation. And even the most seasoned ritualist needs a
reference to determine the best timing and most powerful ingredients
for their magical work. From Saturday to Scorpio to September, from
Vervain to Mandrake to Amber, using the right magickal correspondences
strengthens any spell, ceremony, or ritual. Here Eileen Holland has
gathered together a wealth of magickal knowledge, complete with
everything from hours, days, weeks, and astrological alignment to proper
corresponding plants, animals, oils, herbs, and deities, and compiled
them into the ultimate reference book for anyone seeking guidance in
creating and timing their own enchantments. Includes a glossary of less
familiar terms and deities, as well as a glossary of ingredients.
From the book:
When Wiccans speak of the Wheel of the Year we generally mean the solar
cycle, the Earth's annual voyage around the Sun, and the eight sabbats
with which we celebrate that. The year is actually composed of many
interlocking wheels though. Those who practice magick would do well to
learn and remember this. All of these cycles influence the natural
world, and we can use them to enhance our magick and rituals.
* A complete manual for anyone who casts spells or performs rituals, and for every witch at any stage of their practice.
* Eileen Holland's The Wicca Handbook continues to bring new generations of witches an accessible treasury of Wicca 101.
