The Good Spell Book (and other chosen spell books)

Circle Network Book Reviews: 
 
The Good Spell Book - Love Charms, Magical Cures and Other Practical Sorcery by Gillian Kemp £9.99 hardback published by Victor Gollancz

A Handbook of Ancient and Contemporary Gypsy Spells! I loved the presentation of this book - it is like a genuine, easy to follow Book of Shadows which explains who the Romany Gypsies are, how to cast a spell, how to work with moon energies, in nature, and with limited expenses!

The author lives in Bucks in the UK and learnt the occult arts from Olive Cox, who was born and bred in a gypsy caravan.

Astrology Book Review

Circle Network Book Review: Astrology by Sheila Geddes, published by Macdonald Guidelines.

An excellent primer for the beginner as it explains all the necessary topics, such as signs, planets, houses, aspects and cusps, etc., and includes how to draw up a birthchart and interpret it. Beethoven's birthchart is provided as an example. Everything for the novice! First class!
