Worthwhile reading for all who want to transform their lives
I was immediately drawn to this book when I saw it on the shelf in the library. Our library has so little information on all metaphysical and/or astrological information. I am an astrologer and appreciated Marion Weinstein's chapter on Astrology. It was refreshing, expansive and well researched. It was also original and gave all an opportunity to understand astrology in a simplistic yet informative way. Mostly however, I appreciated her self-help advice chapters on Words of Power; not only did it present an excellent formula and philosophy for self-transformative work, it also revealed the power of our everyday words and our need to be more careful about the things we say. I recommend this book.

Magic Abounds in this Witty, Wonderful Book
Everyone should read this book! Even if you have only a passing curiosity about Wicca, Ms. Weinstein provides a wonderful primer on "the Craft" and its history that makes for compelling reading. Plus you get delightful instructions on tossing the coins (I Ching); reading the Tarot (a tool for opening up to your own intuition); and writing "Words of Power" (think of these as incantations, prayers, or affirmations, depending upon your personal beliefs). Best of all, Ms. Weinstein writes in a witty, down-to-earth style with one-liners that are sure to crack you up!

A good intro to wichcraft
This is a great book for the novice. There's nothing wrong with someone reading this book who is looking for a pagan intro. This book was one of my first 13+ years ago. I have since delved into witchcraft/paganism much, much deeper. Looking back, the advanced student will see the 'fluff', but we all need to start out gently on this path as it is not for everyone.
