Witchy Book Review: Spellcraft and Spellwork
Spellcraft and Spellwork is one of the best introductions to practical magic I’ve read. It’s by English folk witch Ariana Carrasca and is published by Moon Books in the Pagan Portals series. The subtitle describes it as being a foundational manual guiding the reader through the basics of spells, detailing both magical theory and practice. It does exactly what it says on the cover.
Here’s the more detailed synopsis from Moon Books website:
“Spells are something that almost every magical practitioner utilises. Often when stepping into the world of magic and spellcasting for the first time, it can be difficult to understand how to navigate crafting your first spell and what steps to take towards building your own personal practice. Spellcraft and Spellwork is a practical guide on the inner and outer workings of spellcasting. This book brings the reader back to the basics, and introduces everything you need to know about crafting and working spells. The way in which each magic worker will craft their spell will vary greatly. Ariana Carrasca provides explanations of the foundations of spellcasting in a way which highlights the practitioner’s own personal experience and to help them build a craft which is truly unique to them.”
The book starts with the history of magic, giving a well-researched but concise overview. Further chapters cover magical theory, how to put that into practice, what to do after you’ve cast a spell and ends with some great examples to try out.
While Spellcraft and Spellwork is primarily aimed at those wanting to learn to do effective magic, even old witches like me can benefit from a refresher course on the basics. I really enjoyed reading this book and hope to see more work by Ariana in the future.
