Title: Spells & Crafts
Review: The author dabbles with many things emphasisng sympathetic and symbolic magical practice on a very basic, elementary level. While this book has some interesting things, the section dealing with the Runes is grossly inaccurate and overly simplistic. The author uses the Runes to spell out charms and spells in "English", rather than using the ancient Germanic or Nordic languages, and seems to totally overlook the magical aspects and inherent meanings in the Runes themselves. More and deeper study of the Runes and Runic lore is recommended to the author - especially when he makes use of them as a central part of his book. Altogether this book was very disappointing, especially if you are looking for deeper more powerful material to work with.
