Are you sick and tired of the same bland, carbon-copy "witchcraft" books that exhort you to love your enemies and turn the other cheek when they wrong you (hmm, where have we heard THAT before?) Well, then, this is the book for you. Not for the faint hearted or "harm none" crowd, this book is a collection of actual, traditional witchcraft practices....many of which are a little short on the "love and light" stuff.Don't get me wrong; this book isn't evil. However, most of us realize that there are people and problems that cannot be solved by hugs and love, and for this reason the bindings and curses in this book are invaluable. Magical defense can and should be one of your actions if/when you or your loved ones are threatened (along with appropriate legal means, of course.)It would also be nice to think that Witches and other occultists were all lovely people who would never do you harm; sadly, this is definitely NOT true, and another way this book excels is in presenting both the various forms of magical attack, AND how to counteract them. I see some people take offense to the idea of using love magic on specific people; well, I've got news for you, that's ALWAYS been a part of magic. Most indigenous folk traditions see no problem in using love magic, and I don't either. People "manipulate" in all kinds of ways, from dressing a certain way, to wearing a cologne or perfume that they know their love interest enjoys, to going out of their way to arrange "chance" meetings. Like the curses mentioned above, this is but one tool in the tool chest to find the perfect romantic partner.This book is the one I recommend most to people starting out of the path. It's a definite classic that never gets old.

I have tried pretty much every diet there is, from "low carb" to "nothing but carbs" to medically supervised weight loss programs. I have spent years and thousands of dollars trying to lose weight, and ended up obsessed with food, binging all the time, and almost going crazy from dividing foods up into "good" and "bad" categories. Finally about to give up, I stumbled upon the "No S Diet" online, and started it the very next day.I really feel this is the key to ending my problems with food. You don't eat anything weird, you don't eat huge amounts of one thing and none of another, and you don't have to starve. All you have to do is stick with a basic, normal eating plan that most of us over the age of 25 grew up with: eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Don't have seconds, don't snack, and don't eat sweets. On Saturday and Sunday, if you want (and it's optional) you can break these rules and have snacks or sweets. Obviously, you've got to use common sense and not binge, but I like how this eating plans accepts the fact that you probably can't always be 100% perfect, and it's ok to eat something fun on special days like holidays or weekends.Even if I never lost another pound on this plan (and I am losing weight,) it would STILL be worth it for the freedom is gives to people who've been "dieting" for years. Gone is organizing foods into good/bad categories. Gone is going out to eat, or going to a friend's for dinner, and having to order special "diet" food. Gone is forcing yourself to eat bad-tasting foods you don't like, because whatever diet of the week you're on says you have to. Gone is the drudgery of counting calories, carbs, fat grams, or whatever.I honestly don't think this is even a "diet," in the sense we most often think of one. It's a common-sense way of eating that anyone can follow their whole lives without any problem. It's sad that something as simple as "eat three meals a day and don't snack or eat sweets" sounds revolutionary in today's "eat no carbs/all carbs every two hours and only have organic raw veggies with no dressing" world of fad diets, but getting back to basics like this is truly a breath of fresh air. I cannot recommend this book, or way of eating, highly enough.UPDATE: Six weeks in, I have lost 12 pounds and this way of eating has become a habit. No more special foods, no more counting carbs or calories.....freedom at last! So east to stick with, and basic common sense.

This is a good book with some great information in it. If you want solid medical advice, this is where you turn. Some of it's a little basic, but I think it would be really useful to someone who's just been diagnosed. By the way, Anesthesiologists treat all kinds of pain (a hallmark of CFS) and are certainly experienced in drugs. Yes, drugs have side effects. But, they have been proven to work and are acceptable medical practice.The book is well written, funny, and immensely helpful. I suffer from both fibromyalgia AND chronic fatigue syndrome, so I know what I am talking about. Please, everyone, give the book a chance and don't let the ravings of one anti-medicine fringe-type scare you away.

I first read this at around age 9 and found it spooky good fun. As an adult, I still enjoy it. Sure, some of the history is a little off, but this book was written in the '70's and maybe we've learned more since then. Don't be fooled by the bad reviews (which mostly seem to be written by revisionist Wiccans angry that this book doesn't promote their own mythology,) this book is a good time. Definitely a trip down memory lane.

I love the Witch Saga books, but I definitely feel that the first three (The Witch's Sister, Witch Water, and The Witch Herself) were the best. The ones that came after were progressively weaker, and the last one was really a miss. I read the books as a child, and what made them so spooky was the fact that you never did know, really, exactly what Mrs. Tuggle was. It was just the girls and their suspicions, and a creepy old lady with power over animals. Once Mrs. Tuggle was dead, and especially after the parents realized that hey, they were wrong about the girls and Mrs. Tuggle really WAS a witch, that dynamic was lost. What made Mrs. Tuggle so interesting in the earlier books was how sly and crafty she was; she could appear to be a sweet old lady, but it was all an act and her true nature was terrifying. In the later books, when she's been "revealed," she just becomes sort of a one-dimensional bad guy. There's no more mystery, just episodes where she attacks them and they defend themselves.There are also continuity problems in this book. In earlier books, it was established that Mrs. Tuggle's brother's last name was "Pritchard" which, one assumes, would have been her maiden name as well. Why, then, are we now told her prior name was "Martin?" It also paints a picture of her as a sweet, good person whilst back in England, though it was made clear previously that she was already a dark, wicked figure by the time she arrived in America. I wish Naylor would have focused on writing a prequel, where we'd learn the true story of Elnora Tuggle and how she came to be a witch, and ended up in Indiana, instead of beating a dead horse as was done here.

Easily one of my favourite magical books of all time, and that's saying something as I have so many, and I just bought this one a few days ago. The author covers everything from the history of the wand (contrary to some modern, more-witch-than-thou revisionists, the wand is an INCREDIBLY old magical tool,)to the magic power of woods, to crafting your own wand, to empowering it. I especially like that, though the author is a Druid, the book is flexible enough that it can be used by any magical path. Engaging and well written, with full colour photographs demonstrating the stunning wands the author has created over the years, as well as illustrations demonstrating the various woodworking methods being described.By far the best book I've ever read on crafting a magical tool. Highly, highly recommended.

I've got most of the "Haunted" series by these authors, but this book was by far the scariest of them. The stories are presented as true. Some of them have the "feel" of being urban legend or folklore, but others have interviews with the actual witnesses and these, I feel, have the ring of truth to them. Whatever the case may be, several of the tales in this book are genuinely frightening, and some are incredibly disturbing as well. I definitely highly recommend it to anybody with an interest in American ghost stories and supernatural happenings. Just don't read it too close to bedtime if you want to get any sleep.

A wonderful look at what magic was like before all the current New Age-y stuff. Charms and spells for everything from the "poll evil" (?)to removing malign witchcraft, this book is THE go-to guide for spiritual healing and useful home remedies. While I am not a Christian, I have no problem using the Bible-based incantations in here, because I figure it's all "for good stuff." I've already turned to in twice in the past week since I got it.I simply cannot recommend this book enough. It's an essential part of ANY magical practitioner's library, no matter what tradition you come from.

This was one of the first books I ever got on the subject, and I loved it at the time. Today I came across an old copy and re-read it, and remembered WHY it made such an impression on me. It's great! Written from a refreshingly non-goofy standpoint, it's much more of a hands-on, real world guide to Wicca and Witchcraft than a lot of the hokey, New Agey things you come across today. Yes, some of the spells might be scary to the "nothing but love and light!" crowd, but grown-ups know that the Witches of old used LOTS of less-than-positive spells when the situation called for it. This isn't that "other" religion, and that "turn the other cheek" nonsense has no place in a Pagan worldview. Some circumstances require defensive and even aggressive magic, and cowering in fear of some theoretical "threefold law" isn't going to do you much good.This book really has everything. Information on the Sabbats, basics of spellcasting, recipes for incense.....you name it. Better still, as I mentioned before it's really pretty down-to-earth and hands-on; the "good stuff" isn't buried under 20 tons of filler. The only drawbacks I can see are her less-than-enchanting recipes (will the average person REALLY eat baked squirrels? Is that even safe? And don't even THINK about trying to make her Mandrake wine!) and she could perhaps spend a little more time going in to the "how magic works" stuff. However, it's still a great resource and looking through it today, I was reminded of why I wanted to be a Witch in the first place, and how amazing Wicca (the religion) and Witchcraft (the practice of magic) can be when you're not trying to bury it under made up, fluffy bunny (a term I can't stand, but really the best way I can think of to describe what I'm getting at) let's-all-hold-hands-and-hug-a-tree New Age BS.

I say "Witchcraft" because you'll find very little of the sort of dopey, let's-love-everybody-and-just-be-nice kind of stuff you get in most modern books here. Instead, what you'll get are some beautifully written charms and spells that deal with REAL human nature, and the kind of problems Witches have been working with for ages. Some of the charms are light-hearted, some are deadly serious, but all of them are absolutely gorgeously worded and really do sound like they might have come from some ancient witch's grimoire. You won't need five pages of herbs and ingredients to do these spells; just a strong will and the knowledge of how to make them work.

Some of my fondest memories are of my aunt reading me this book when I was a young child in the early-mid '80s. She still has that same copy, but when I went to try and find my own as an adult I found that the book was out of print and prohibitively expensive. I am SO glad the author decided to do the reprint, because now I have a copy of my very own. No matter how old I get, this book will always "feel" like Hallowe'en to me, and it really brings me back to one of the happiest times in my life.

I grow a lot of medicinal and culinary herbs and had tried getting by with much cheaper organic soil from the hardware store. Alas, you get what you pay for, and the off-brand stuff I got was full of what looked like wood chips and was very. very heavy; practically like cement when dry. My plants were stunted and sickly no matter what I did. I realized it was the cheap soil, so I went back and bought some Black Gold organic potting soil and instantly fell in love. It's much, much lighter and has way better drainage. It also seems to retain (just enough) moisture well and doesn't become a hardened brick when it dries out. I'm in the process of transplanting all of my seedlings and plants into new pots using nothing but Black Gold. This soil has practically saved my container garden.

Fred Soll incense is now the ONLY stick or cone incense that I use. It's made by hand from all-natural oils, resins, and herbs with absolutely no artificial anything. There is nothing I've found that even comes close in quality. What's more, Fred Soll incense comes in hard-to-find formulations like "Dragon's Blood" and my favourite "Honey Amber."Short of burning loose herbs on charcoal, there simply isn't a better one to create all natural fragrance. Fred Soll incense is much more expensive than the artificial stuff, but trust me, it's worth it. The incense sticks are very thick and heavy, and burn for a long time, so you do get your money's worth. One word of advice: the incense tends to be very sticky and damp, because it is made with only natural resins and gums, and if it dries out it won't burn as well. I store mine wrapped up carefully in a zip-lock bag in order to keep it fresh and ensure it burns well.Be sure to check out the Honey Amber, the Frankincense with Lavender and Roses, and the Egyptian Musk. These are my three favourite Fred Soll scents.

I'm a big Blondie fan, and while I enjoyed "No Exit" and "The Curse of Blondie," I felt like those albums had a few great songs, and a lot of filler. With "Panic of Girls," though, they're right back on target with one of their best batches of songs ever.This album is a lot more New Wave inspired than their previous two were, which I think is a step in the right direction. It starts off with the frenetic "D-Day" and moves right in to the AMAZING "What I Heard," which is now one of my all-time favourite Blondie songs. Next is "Mother," which is an homage to a now-defunct New York City nightclub and is the big single from "Panic". My other two favourites from the album are the surprisingly poignant "Love Doesn't Frighten Me" and an imaginative cover of Beirut's "Sunday Smile." The latter is especially good; while in the original Zach Condon's vocals gave the song an air of youthful indifference, Debbie Harry's smoky voice transforms it into a bittersweet ode to lost love from somebody old enough to appreciate both the good, and the bad, in a relationship. It's set to a deceptive, almost reggae-inspired beat and makes me think of eating honey-drizzled fruit on the sun-drenched deck of a private boat.I saw Blondie play last week, and they largely performed songs off the new album, which was very well received. This is a band who isn't resting on their laurels, and is still changing, growing, and turning out relevant music for today's market. "Panic of Girls" is not to be missed; if you weren't already a Blondie fan by the time you buy it, you will be after giving it a good listen. Highly recommended!

I enjoyed reading this book. I thought the points Rev. Run made were pretty good. Tyrese made good points as well, but it appeared that some of his points were a little self centered. If I had a daughter, I would prefer she follow Rev. Run's point of view, because a relationship should be satisfying to both parties. Woman need to understand thier worth. I have been married for years, and its impossible to stay married if only one party is being satisfied. I read the book, because i thought it would interesting to hear what these two men had to say. Overall, the book was reader friendly and interesting.

We bought this mop months ago. We Loved it from the get go. Mops and cleans every surface due to the versatility. Have used it months and even my hubby is impressed. A friend wanted one and since I am the researcher in the family, i started finding the best price for him. So here I am. Why do people rag on this mop? I have no clue. We are really pleased with it , and even our friend is going to buy one.My partner and I recommend it.

I am 20 minutes into this and to me it feels like a huge money making commercial of pet death products. I thought this would be a documentary of how people deal with a pets death. I just feel like I have to buy something. I do not like feeling dooped.

When used as a graduate level textbook, this work places extreme demands on the student. The lack of simple examples to explain foundation concepts places the student at a disadvantage from the start. The summary examples at the end of each section seemed to be confined to the author's research work and leave the reader more puzzled than enlightened. The endless stream of acronyms is initially annoying, but then becomes almost comical as the experienced reader (ER) becomes more accustomed to the practice. The text is a good resource for anyone specifically interested in risk management of water resource projects. For the rest of us, we'll have to look elsewhere.

This book has been extrememly useful in helping me to prepare for the AP exam. It is easily understandable and as a student I find it refreshing to read a review book that doesn't put me to sleep. This book is full of interesting facts related to Human Geography, and the review tests were extrememly helpful with my preparations for the real exam.

Great fan of Stephen King and will continue to read his work. But since I found Blake Crouch I can't stop reading his thrillers. My first read was "Pines" and I knew I had to find more. "Desert Places" is well written, very graphic, most definitely suspenseful...leaves the reader wanting more. On to "Locked Doors".

This book will give you a lot of clear insights into what the authors call the occult. I find most of their advice "common sense" but that does not mean it is common knowledge. This book will NOT make you feel more paranoid. It will make you feel more empowered, more centered, and more relaxed.I find falling asleep after using "the tower of light" technique in bed especially wonderful.Simple, easy, straightforward and highly recommended!An other reviewer mentioned Robert Bruce and his "Practical psychic self-defense". And if you are not a little bit paranoid before reading that... It can make you paranoid after reading his book. It is not bad, just make sure you do "the tower of light" before and after reading that book.

The most important thing is not the photoreading step, it is just a small part of the system. It is to be a relaxed purposeful reader, and accomplish the purpose you desire.You do that by playing with the informations you get from the book you read. It is called activation in this system. That is how you get something out of any book.The Photoreading step is a relaxed focused and clear gaze. And when I do it - I see everything on both pages, the four corners of the book and my hands.Do not worry just means relax, it will come with the whole process of learning. Your own purposeful learning. It took me more than a few days to get the habit of doing this - it took me months. Mind mapping is a good way to work with new informations. There are many other ways of doing so. As I recall there are not so many covered in the book. But that is not the purpose of this book anyway.Remember the key to all learning is to relax and have fun doing it. An other important thing is to integrate this skill in your life. You can really do that if you patiently learn from this book - as I did.Thank God I read this book before I read the reviews on Amazon. You have not, this is sad. I still hope that you will not be discouraged from learning this skill and buying this book.

Most of the old Taoist arts are described in this book. He uses the chinese BaGua symbol or the 8 trigrams to structure the book. Heaven trigram for Philosophy, fire trigram for sexuality et cetera. (not in this order) You can find other books on all of these arts that will do the same, but why not get it all in one book. He has written other books on some of these subjects that are more in depth. But if you read this book first you will have a good concept of them all from this one.One bad thing is that some arts are just described in a few pages - leaving you to spend hours in dusty corners of bookstores and long nigths at Amazon.com to find some other book on this subject. Arts like 108 star astrology, facial interpretation and feng shui. You will find most of this books contents on the authors website [...]This book comes in top 3 on my reading list.

DL DVD+R's are usually (in my experience) twice the price of normal DVD+R's and so this spindle seemed like a decent purchase. But my Nero external DVD burner on my PC & the DVD burner on my Macbook Pro were not fond of these blanks.I made more coasters with these on my PC than any other brand of DVD+R DL that I've used and not once could I get my Macbook Pro (that was bought in June of 2007 with a 2.4GHz Processor) to burn one at all.Fortunately, the Wal-Mart near where I live had their Sony DVD+R DL 10 Packs mispriced and I was able to finish the project I was working on.

Nice shoes, possibly not worth the price but the do look nice and they're comfortable.This is the second pair of Microbounce Adidas shoes that I've purchased. The first pair was ordered directly from the Adidas site and so I ordered a half-size bigger than what I usually wear and they worked out fine.I decided to order this pair in my normal size and they are ever so slightly too small.I have managed to stretch them out a little bit and I also have to wear a sock of decent thickness or my heel will get rubbed raw.

While other packing cubes I've bought are a bit more rigid (which is sometimes a good thing) these can expand a little in different directions if you need to overload it a bit and aren't worried about how it fits in your suitcase.

Works very well, just not entirely sure it's worth what you'll pay for this or other items like it.But Adidas makes good products on a pretty consistent basis and as far as compression clothing goes - this shirt does the job.The size works well for me too, but be sure to do some research and find the correct sizing chart. You want to be able to breathe whilst wearing this shirt.

This is our second Wolfgang Puck grill. Our first one is several years old and we never anticipated getting so much use out of it and we have just worn it out. It is high quality and very sturdy. Outside of some cosmetic change to the design this grill is still the same high quality product as the first one. It heats up quickly and keeps a steady temperature. We use it for all our bulk grilling - making 6 grilled cheese sandwiches at once or crisping the inside of our hotdog, hamburger or subway buns. Pancakes are great with this as we can really crank them out. It has very easy clean up in the sink.

Recommended read for football fans who want to delve deeper into the game. Chris Brown does a great job of breaking down fad offenses and defenses of the past decade and making them easier to digest.

Great time killing game. It has more depth than other puzzle games that I've played that are similar, which to me adds to its replayability factor.

When Connally Gilliam asked me to review her book, Revelations of a Single Woman: Loving the Life I Didn't Expect (Tyndale, 2006), I considered it a good way to get to know Connally. I have appreciated her posts on this site, especially the one entitled, "The Jealousy of God." And I thought we had a lot in common: English majors who grew up in Virginia, serving in parachurch ministry, similar age, and single and loving our lives.Where I hesitated internally-and I didn't tell Connally this-is the subject matter. I don't care for books about being single. There are so many thoughtful books waiting on my bedside table that a singleness book is not a priority. (Not to say there aren't thoughtful books about singleness.) But usually they end up as commands to be content, instructions on keeping clear sexual boundaries or how to's in using this season of "freedom" to serve God.Thankfully, Connally's book is not centered on these topics. Instead, it is about a wise woman's experiences with her God, with her friends (male, female, married, single), and with her self. Connallly asks all the questions I've asked myself: How do I live with the fragmentation and isolation of today's world? What does it look like to have life-giving relationships with my family, my friends, my community? How much of myself do I give to my career? Is full satisfaction available this side of heaven? What do I think a man should be/do/stand for?And Connally's voice is clear and strong, a real tribute to a first-time author. Her personality jumps off the pages; she is honest in her longings, true to her faith story, and welcoming in the conversation. Plus, she's downright funny! She introduces the reader to tens of her friends' and their experiences and thoughts. I liked that. Hearing from all sorts of people gives Revelations of a Single Woman a broad reach--but not so broad that that it thins out. In fact, I think this book has so much content it could have been two, or even three!Connally is at her best, though, when she offers more of herself than even she, a clear extrovert, feels comfortable. My favorite exchange occurs in Chapter 13, when an old, wise friend challenges her to "suffer well" the isolation of singleness. Connally tearfully asks what it means to do so. "It meant admitting that the confusion plaguing me . . . was real and not easily navigated. It meant owning my unmet desires and the related disappointment. And it also meant holding on to and holding up the goodness and realness of God in the midst of it. [Her friend's] words about suffering prophetically had felt like a gut-level punch. But in reality, they were more like the compassion-induced Heimlich maneuver, freeing me to live."May her courage be contagious--in the lives of all believers.

Every time I read a book by Barbara Kingsolver I wonder why I haven't read all of them. They are like delicious desserts or complex paintings or hikes in the wilderness. It's always a sensual experience as well as a tug on the learning centers of my mind. I luxuriate in prose so lush that it's like reading poetry. In this book, I would like to be more like Lusa. I have been Deanna in many ways. By the time I reach 70, I could be Nannie. I admired their brave and open hearts and their dedication to the wild. The men rang true, too, though I absolutely love Garnett. I have been him in many ways, too. It's one of those books that I read avidly to see how these dear people come out in the end, but sad when I turn to the last page. What happens next? Is there a sequel?

I've been running into the concept of "employee engagement" a lot lately. I decided to try Carbonara's book on the subject. Good choice! Highly readable, though it is dense with facts, examples, applications, checklists, theories. He ties together many current ideas and practices in the art and science of management and leadership. His passion and experience make it an easy sell for any supervisor who wants better results and an engaged team. I'd recommend this book to supervisors and business practitioners at any level of expertise.

I found the best part of this book to be the descriptions and history of Quebec. The author was able to intertwine its fascination and beauty well with her thriller. I found the plot, however, disjointed - almost annoyingly so, with too many story lines not well intertwined.

I read my first Connelly book in a reading group for writers. Since then I have inhaled about 6 more - who's counting? I love both Harry Bosch and Mickey Haller. Connelly successfully combines suspense, horror, human nature, and the gritty realities of modern life. I should mention that I'm not that into crime and mystery novels, and I will most likely read the rest of his books. As with the rest, I couldn't put The Fifth Witness down, once I picked it up.

I belong to a book club for writers. We read books about the craft and in different genres. I'm not much of a mystery buff, but I enjoyed The Black Box for the writing and the story. The writing was clear and had a good balance of police work and Harry's personal issues. The plot was twisted enough without being out of the realm of reality. It helps that I live in California - years in LA and in San Francisco East Bay, so I am familiar with all the sites Harry Bosch frequented. And I liked the character of Harry Bosch - a man of my generation. He is a character I can root for. I will read more Harry Bosch mysteries.

An unusual treatment of a very usual town, Plainsong seemed like someplace from the Twilight Zone. It was described realistically, but it was so disconnected from any reality I've known that it left me feeling detached and wondering. The characters were detached and wondering as well. Several threads of the story reared up and then disappeared into nothing - no explanations, no resolutions. I also disliked the author's disregard for common English grammar and conventions. I did like the plot line of Victoria and the McPherons, however. It brought hope to an otherwise depressing book.
