I haven't finished this book yet, because I tend to read non-fiction in snippets, especially this kind of book where the "articles" lend themselves to that reading style. The information in it is very good, told in a comfortable, down-to-earth style that I enjoy. I'm really liking it so far and would recommend it as an excellent research volume for anyone interested in this topic. Feb 26, Jackie rated it really liked it. It IS an encyclopedia Better to review bits that interest one vs reading all the way through. History portions of witches very interesting for me. I think a print book qould be better than kindle version that i have. The author was recommended to me by a Wicca friend, and this was one of two books of hers I saw at the bookstore. I'm writing a book that features a Wicca character, and want to try to make sure she and her, for lack of a better word 'beliefs', are true to Wicca. I've thumbed through the book already and see that there'll be a lot of useful stuff for me to learn here, from plants to animals to spirits and spells, and how they all relate to witchcraft. It's already given me a few ideas of where to take the book and her character, and I know this book'll be a great The Element Encyclopedia of Witchcraft: The Complete A-Z for the Entire Magical World for my project.

Born in New York City, my metaphysical career began early: My first encounter with tarot cards at age six was also my first experience of love at first sight! That passion still burns true. Although I do practice other forms of divination, tarot remains the foundation of my practice. A lifelong pursuit of metaphysical wisdom followed and continues: astrology, mythology, Kabbalah, the Egyptian myst Born in New York City, my metaphysical career began early: My first encounter with tarot cards at age six was also my first experience of love at first sight! A lifelong pursuit of metaphysical wisdom followed and continues: astrology, mythology, Kabbalah, the Egyptian mysteries as well as spiritual, The Element Encyclopedia of Witchcraft: The Complete A-Z for the Entire Magical World and healing traditions from all over Earth but particularly Africa and Asia. I've also been a blues and free-form rock and roll disc jockey, a corporate travel consultant specializing in the Caribbean, a skin-care and cosmetics consultant, and a teacher of mythology and multicultural studies. I wrote and edited the Ancient Beauty Secrets section for the Egyptian Ministry of Tourism's monthly online magazine, which integrated modern aromatherapy with ancient methods of body care and decoration. True love's arrows pierced my heart yet again when I first encountered a vial of essential oil. Essential oil of frankincense, to be exact, still a favorite. Essential oils are not true oils but potent plant extracts. Modern aromatherapy, with its roots stretching back to ancient China, Egypt, Mesopotamia and the Middle East, is the manipulation of essential oils for therapeutic and cosmetic purposes. Essential oils are perhaps the purest, most potent expression of a plant's power and play a profound role in rituals, potions and spells. Many are powerful aphrodisiacs and may be used to enhance health, beauty and peace of mind. Following over a decade of independent study, I earned a certificate in therapeutic aromatherapy. I served on the faculty of the Australasian College of Herbal Studies as an aromatherapy tutor, teaching the certification program. My special passion for almost fifteen years has been magical and traditional approaches to fertility. Originally stimulated by own reproductive challenges, I was frustrated by the medical options offered to me. I went searching for other avenues, gentle Earth and female-friendly solutions and found them: a vast repository of women's wisdom. Two children and many years later, I still search and research, impressed and empowered by thousands of years of women's inventiveness, endurance, defiance and humor. Books by Judika Illes.

Encyclopedia of Witchcraft: The Complete A-Z for the Entire Magical World by Judika Illes Illes, the The Element Encyclopedia of Witchcraft: The Complete A-Z for the Entire Magical World of three previous books on magical spells, has compiled a lively and chatty reference on witches. The work is arranged topically, and there is a helpful index. Individual articles I think that the book is lacking in some areas, but I did find it a useful tool to cross-reference mythologies. It is quite nice to have a resource book that I can find both the history of a particular Egyptian God, vampires in different cultures, as well as herbs both deadly and mundane.

From fairy tales to familiars, hags to healers, from Ancient Egypt to modern Wicca and Neo-Paganism, this definitive reference book reveals the many faces and traditions of thousands of years of witchcraft. Here is a feast of facts and curiosities, including recipes from the witch's cauldron, auspicious dates from the witch's sacred calendar, and different methods of witches' flight. Discover how witches have inspired fine art and mass entertainment, from Shakespeare to Harry Potter, and how witchcraft has been depicted in various ways, from veneration to defamation. Learn about witches and worship, with those special deities most identified with witchcraft; and take a journey to the Burning Times, those terrible centuries when witches suffered persecution and death. Packed full of legends, lore, magic spells, potions, recipes, and rituals, 'The Element Encyclopedia of Witchcraft' is a delightful mixture of instruction, entertainment, and the downright bizarre; it is the ultimate reference work for both the dedicated follower and casual consumer of all things magical.
