If you have read Tish Owen’s previously published book, Chasing the
Rainbow (see my review at http://www20.brinkster.com/gleasonreview/ ),
you know why I enjoy reading her work. She writes in a friendly,
chatty style, while still conveying the essential information. Even
when I’m not really a big fan of the topic (and I don’t really like
spell books), I enjoy how she presents the information.
Tish has made every effort to make the spells she provides easy to
accomplish. The instructions are clear; the basics are repeated as
needed (you can’t say “I forgot” because she won’t let you forget);
and the ingredients are, for the most part, easily obtainable. Add to
that the fact that she provides encouragement for the reader to create
their own spells, and you have a well-written spell book.
Tish provides spells for a variety of uses from breaking an addiction
to stopping gossip. While she may not have dealt with EVERY
eventuality, she has certainly dealt with a significant number of
potential situations. You should be able to find inspiration for
almost any use within the covers of this book.
Tish is an author who knows how to get her lessons across. You won’t
want to “read” this book, you’ll want to refer to it. Read the first
few and last few sections of the book (“If At First You Don’t Succeed…
Read the Directions”, “Real Magic”, “Different Methods of Spellwork”,
“Glossary”, and “References/Resources”) and use the rest of it as
needed.
You won’t find a lot of ceremonial in her spells. Tish writes for the
average individual. It is easy to see why she is one of the up and
coming authors being published by WillowTree Press. I hope to see a
lot more of her work in the future.
