"Patti Wigington offers what is less a primer on candle magic and delightfully what is more of a spellcaster's guide to success. Though the basics, including the importance of spellcasting procedures, dressing and preparation techniques, and safety are expertly covered, this book shines in that it goes far beyond that, offering the author's guidance and voice of experience on commonly overlooked elements of successful spellcasting. Patti addresses key considerations such as motive, wording, timing, and specificity necessary to set the practitioner up for the best chance of the desired results. One could categorize this book as a concise guide to advanced nuts and bolts." --Blake Octavian Blair, druid and shamanic practitioner, regular contributor to Llewellyn's Annuals Series, www.blakleoctavianblair.com "Patti has backed a ton of information on candle magic on this fabulous book! The thought-provoking questions help guide the reader through the process of working candle magic. Patti has also included some awesome and helpful spells.
My favorites are the Abundance Gratitude Candle, the Stress Buster Candle, and the Pet Healing Candle. This is certainly a book for beginners as well as experienced practitioners." --Lady Brigid Eldar, host of Lady Brigid's Ask a Witch on internationalpaganradio.com "Reading any book by Patti Wigington is an informative experience. Her take on candle magic is especially good as she takes on a venerable subject and gives it new life. This is a much-needed exploration of the ins and outs of this set of practices, which makes it perfect for beginners and more seasoned practitioners." --H.Byron Ballard, village witch and author "Patti Wigington's Candle Magic Journal and Handbook takes a vast subject and not only brings it down to earth, but gives readers permission to experiment, experience, and illuminate their lives and practices.
Beginners can learn the ropes from a practiced and kind voice, while those more advanced have journal prompts to expand their magical worldview. A book worth coming back to!" --Amy Blackthorn, author of Blackthorn's Botanical Magic.
