Teens who desire personal empowerment, a connection to old traditions, or an alternative spirituality will be enchanted with this definitive volume of spells and Wiccan lore written especially for teenagers. THE TEEN SPELL BOOK contains such essential information as: how to cast a spell, tools of the trade, Wiccan holidays, and an invaluable resource guide. Wood provides 75 spells including finding a true friend, banishing sexual harassment, and foreseeing the future. The ultimate guide to girl (and guy) power.‚Ä¢ Exquisitely illustrated with vintage art of fairies, magical creatures, and enchanted nature.Reviews: "This is a very attractive book, beautifully published . . . this book stands out from the competition. . . "‚ÄîThe Unicorn"I cannot even begin to express my happiness with this newest release from Jamie Wood! Not only has she approached the subject of teen paganism with insight and bravado, she's done it without talking down, or gathering groupies. . . .THE TEEN SPELL BOOK is being given high recommendation when we are asked for a suggested reading list. This is going to be THE book folks ‚Äîif you are a teen, the parent of a teen or child, you should have this one on your shelves." ‚ÄîProlific Pagans.com "Instructions on casting spells such as how to meet a celebrity might add spice to your Halloween soiree!"‚ÄîBoston Herald VOYA This well-designed book begins with an eighty-three-page introduction to the history and present state of Wiccan tradition. It includes detailed tables of various deities; the four directions, colors, and days of the week with their associations; key holidays; animal totems; and runes. The remainder of the book consists of spells: "Excel at Your Hobby," "Lessen Homework," "Find a True Friend," "Learn How to Trust Again." Detailed appendixes include magazines, Web sites, and metaphysical stores across the country. The lovely cover, magickal content, and a widespread interest in witchcraft will find this book an audience in most libraries. Each spell comes with the caveat that if it does not manifest in three months, it probably will not work because it is not in agreement with Spirit and its plans for the universe. The spells require special supplies such as image candles, iris oil, and lodestone gems, yet the key seems to be centering oneself before beginning a spell and then reciting the ritual phrases. As in any belief system, ritual helps one to focus on whatever one desires. Repeating prayers, spells, or mantras provide further focus. For teenagers seeking a mystical explanation to their world or simply an introduction to modern Wicca, this spell book might be an answer. Inconsistencies—deity names switch between Greek and Roman and their sources are not clearly explained—and numerous definitional lapses plague a book that otherwise is presented well. Glossary.
