Amazon.com Review
The Good Spell Book is a delightful little collection of Romany folklore, spells, charms, and cures that focus on the good things in life--love, luck, health, and happiness. The spells are simple and require only basic ingredients, such as a ribbon or a candle. This simplicity allows for a singular focus on the outcome of the spell, whether it's relieving a headache or finding a lost pet. With its rustic charm, The Good Spell Book stands out from other spell books; it looks like someone's diary with flower petals, photographs, and even postage stamps stuck between the pages. Whether you read The Good Spell Book out of curiosity or to add happy spells to your own collection, you're sure to enjoy the feel of this well-crafted volume. --Brian Patterson
