New edition of The Big Book of Practical Spells, the classic introduction to magic and spellcraft by Judika Illes. 
 
Originally published as The Big Book of Practical Spells, this book represents a complete introduction to the principles and practice of modern-day witchcraft, steeped in authentic traditions but designed to be usable by all. The author does not assume any experience on the reader's part, but also offers a genuine spiritual depth that more seasoned practitioners will appreciate. The essential ideas are covered: the four elements, colour, working with nature, spirits, the use of botanicals, and dreams; this is followed by a substantial collection of spells, ranging from protection and cleansing spells, love, fertility, to money magic, and rites of passage. With a new foreword by Psychic Witch author Mat Auryn, this is a modern-day classic that is highly recommended as a first book for anyone interested in spellcraft and magic.
