Don’t be misguided by the title, this is not another offering of lists of correspondences, pages of ready to use spells, with unfamiliar ingredients!

In the first chapters, the author has provided a breath of fresh air, in that she guides the reader with an overview of why to do spells, instructions of how to put this together, in a way that is meaningful and relevant to the reader. She also discusses what is known about the history of spell craft.

Interspersed throughout are suggested exercises, for the reader to try, enabling them to develop their own intuition and magical practice. There is a chapter on what to do with your working afterwards which is very useful, and she does share in the final chapter a few elegantly simple spells from her own practice.

A useful book for anyone undertaking spellwork.

Pagan Portals – Spellcraft and Spellwork by Ariana Carrasca

Spells are something that almost every magical practitioner utilises. Often when stepping into the world of magic and spellcasting for the first time, it can be difficult to understand how to navigate crafting your first spell and what steps to take towards building your own personal practice. Spellcraft and Spellwork is a practical guide on the inner and outer workings of spellcasting. This book brings the reader back to the basics, and introduces everything you need to know about crafting and working spells. The way in which each magic worker will craft their spell will vary greatly. Ariana Carrasca provides explanations of the foundations of spellcasting in a way which highlights the practitioner’s own personal experience and to help them build a craft which is truly unique to them.
