In a style that is poetic and appealing to the imagination, "Crone's Book of Charms & Spells" gives practical directions for carrying out numerous spells, charms, recipes or rituals--all of which take their inspiration from nature and folklore. In a world where nature is so often slighted or ignored, this book serves to heighten your awareness of the magic lying beneath the surface, and the powerful ties that exist between mind and matter.

This charming little magic book holds the carefully guarded secrets that a wise woman of bygone days could have penned in her grimoire by candlelight. Herbal elixirs, powerful charms, amulets, balms for all folk who come to her seeking their heart's desire: enhanced health and healing, protection, love, marriage, fertility, wealth, youthfulness, beauty.

Quaint and mystic, this treasury of lore also describes twelve rituals to guide you through the mysteries of a full year of seasons. Begin with an ice-sparkling ceremony for the first day of the year and celebrate the winter solstice in a glorious burst of red and gold fire. Each ceremony grows out of the unchanging truths of the cycle of seasons and of the universe itself.
