Great piece for a persistent student

While I will firstly admit that this is not the best recipe book out there, I will also add that I'm tired of seeing so many Wiccan authors spoon feeding spells and recipes to novices to make a quick buck rather than actually leaving them with an ounce of intellectual knowledge of magic (*coughcoughSRWcough*).

That said, the book is full of lore, myths and superstitions, classical engravings, correspondence tables, reading recommendations, suggested resources (though these may be outdated), brewing methods, recipes (yes, I said it wasn't the best, but there are some usable recipes for basic ritual use and some spell work) and even some entomology and folk names for herbs.

This book certainly helped me learn potionry more than any other book I had worked with until Michael Greer's Natural Magic was published, and I had borrowed it from my library so often, I ended up spilling a brew on it and being forced to buy it: a fortunate accident, as no store near me carried it.

Only serious warnings:
Always question certain sources and claims, no matter what book you read. I know that this book refers to Wicca as the "Old Religion", and that the correspondences in some of Dunwich's other works were incorrect with some of the deities; though I honestly have not check how they were in this book (I rely on other sources for deity information).

These things, however, can be over looked for this book as long as external resources for these basics are used, as the books focus is still in the potion work and folklore rather than religious history and deity work.

Good all the time

I found this to be a very good book, I find myself looking at the section of weird potions and curious notions quite a bit wondering how they came to be. Non the less pregnant women should do their homework before drinking some of the potions in here seeings how no warning are listed by them because they are dangerous for them. Good book no matter if you are newer or old to the craft.

This one is interesting.

This is a great book on potion making. But be careful all because something is natural does not mean it cant make you sick. Like Cats claw is not good for a pregnant woman to drink. She does not put these warning on her book. Regardless of the reader not being warned it is a great book. O love the mandrake section and I have incorporated some of her potions in my spells. The Mandrake potion for revenge is a good one. Im glad this book is not a wishy washy goodie two shoe book. She has postive uses for her potions as well most of these potions are for positive purposes. By the way if your back is against the wall and you need to use a spell to get someone away from you I dont see that as negative I see that as survival. Anyway this is a great book to get wheatehr you are a Witch, Santarian, Shaman or whatever your magickal/spiritual path is this book is of use.

Whether it's a love potion, a money-attracting brew, a healing infusion, an aphrodisiac, or an oft-needed meditation tea, "Magick Potions" completely addresses the magickal needs of contemporary witches by devoting itself entirely to the art and craft of potions.
