The Encyclopedia of Magickal Ingredients: A Wiccan Guide to Spellcasting

I love learning about all kinds of deities and mythologies. I like having intellectual discussions about religious ideas with like-minded people. This book is interesting! I have a lot of clients that believe in the occult and ask for symbols and sigils in their tattoo designs. This is an interesting book and I have added it to my tattoo references collection!

Move how detailed the reading is

It's kind of funny and really a great tool to have at your disposal. My favorite part is how she makes a ritual use for everything from bagels to wolfsbane. It seems pretty accurate from my perspective and I am very well versed with hetbs/stones/witchy crap. She adds some gods/goddesses that the item may correspond with which makes me happy. Its actually easy to kind of just read through because she breaks the bland definitions with humor and a lighthearted perspective. 10/10 will be purchasing as gifts for sure.

Great as a reference tool. Pleased with the detail and easy to follow writing. This book is in alphabetical order therefore making it easy to navigate when searching for a specific item.I would recommend this as a 5 star reference guide for anyone who is looking for the "Magickal" essence of a specific item.

There's a lot of information packed inside, most of it is brief and not in depth, but more than enough to get your creative juices flowing.If you already own several reference books, (e.g. The Complete Book of Incense, Oils and Brews and the Encyclopedia of Crystal, Gem & Metal Magic, both by Scott Cunningham) you will find little new information here. If, however, you are new to the Craft and/or you don't already have a magickal encyclopedia, this one book will cover pretty much all your needs.

I am a complete newbie when it comes to wicca and magic, so I bought this because I felt I needed it. It comes with a list of ingredients (obviously), but then after the entire list; there is another list which organizes which of the ingredients are for what purpose (finance, spiritual, love, beauty). I was not disappointed.

We really like this book. In fact, we lost it and purchased a replacement. It's excellent. We used it to make soup for our friends last Christmas and everyone reported positive results. It's nice because so many things are covered. The charts are helpful. Unlike many other books, it's not just a list of items and their correspondences, it actually gives you detail, so you know if you might be counteracting the spell you're working on with similar but wrongly used items.

I enjoyed this book I have quite a few different books like this one by different authors however this one simplifies things although many of the items in this book have many other uses not listed.

With a total of 607 entries, this book is great for everyone from beginners who are just starting to experienced witches who need a good book to refer to for information.The book starts with an introduction that is only a few pages long & the rest is magical materials & their properties that you can use to create your own spells. The end of the book after Z contains magical tables(index) of ingredients for specific purposes making it extremely easy to use this book to create your own spells.It is in the perfect format to bring places easily fitting into a bag so you can always have a reliable resource to look something up with you at all times.I highly recommend this book & it should be one of the first every witch gets as it will be an invaluable resource to your practice.

I think this book is great for quick reference and discovering the magickal properties of different ingredients and their different forms (eg. the root vs the leaf) and contains a small paragraph on each. The book covers foods, herbs, some stones and plants (trees/flowers) which is more than I was expecting (I bought the book mainly for herbal knowledge but pleasantly surprised by finding a bit on pierogi)Great if you're just starting out, especially the table at the back- which in some ways is more convenient than the main book. I would definitely recommend this book for reference.

Love this book very informative with diffrent ways to use every day ingredients for magikal uses

Wanted to be able to look up the properties of everyday items, without having to look online. This book is almost perfect, the only things missing from it are nuts, I assume due to possible allergies.

So handy and nifty — a must-need for all practitioners. So knowledgable and it's full of things you need to know whether as a beginner or advanced occultist. Enjoy.
