Although this book seems to be targeted towards a larger audience in general, and not so much towards Pagans and/or Wiccans like myself, I found this book to have its good points but it can be contradictory in explaining certain things. For example, the author lists black candles for evil intents. I find fault with this because black candles are for banishing evil and for providing protection against evil. In all the books I have on candle magick, black is listed as protective. Also, some of the spells seem to have negative intents like the spell for arousing jealousy. No matter what spiritual path you are on, causing someone harm via jealousy or via negativity is ethically wrong and very dangerous because it will come back to you times three, i.e, the law of karma.Nevertheless, if your spiritual path is Wiccan, then this is not the book for you. If you are interested in candle magick in general, read this book to get a different perspective on the subject, then be sure to read other books if you wish to develop an overall and deeper understanding of candle magick.
I have had success in using this book. I agree with someone else's comment that if the rituals didn't work for you, it's not the author's fault! This book is great, because you can adapt the rituals easily. Christians can also use this book, which is good. Some Wiccan books at times sound anti-Christian, but not this one. (I am Wiccan, and I know what Christians did in the past is wrong, and some still do it, but let's not create more problems by being anti-Christian). The rituals are easily adaptable, and I would highly reccommend this book. I have had much success with it.
I have had this book for about 5 years now. I have done the same spell a few times, and so far, each time I have done it, I have seen successful results. I did a new spell recently, and as soon as I finished it, it came true. Put your mind and body into the entire process. Imagine and really feel the words that you are saying as you do the spell. Do it continually until the end, have patience and believe it'll happen...that's all I have to say.
I know, I know... I should have written a review on this book YEARS ago! Sorry for the delay.I remember this book from years past. Once, when I was a teen-ager and was out of work, I did a job ritual and guess what... two days after I completed the rite, I got a job! Awesome.With all the bogus spellbooks out on the market these days, this book has got to be the all time best for seeing quick results! Be warned... the rituals are not easy nor are the quick. Some take a few days to preform! But then again, everything comes with a price and nothing in life is free!
Buckland's book, Practical Candle Burning Rituals, is great for doing any type ritual he has mentioned. It also is two sided...given you a Christian version for non-Witches and a Pagan side for Witches/Wiccans/Pagans to use.The directions are easy to follow and if you follow the directions that he has set for timing, moon phases, and use the appropriate colors your spell should work for you.I refer back to his book many times when I am teaching my students...especially when they want to know the appropriate colors and altar layouts for candle spells.The way Buckland has written this book is what works for him..there is no law that says you can not improvise your own words into the rituals he has written to make them work for you.Excellent book...easy rituals and great results!
The author does an interesting job in assembling a number of basic candle rituals. Each ritual is presented with Christian or Old Religion form, and the book gives a very basic, but thorough explanation on how when and what to do, so that even a neophyte with no experience in these types of matters ( such as myself) can do so with ease. The author discerns between Magick (which anyone can do) and the Old Religion, and explores the relevant differences. Critically he exhorts against using the rituals contained herein for malevolent purposes, however curiously, includes a few for purposes that cannot be characterized otherwise, at least in my opinion. The risk of malevolent usage is laid out in the book, however I believe it should be given greater prominence as the book will be employed by many beginners. A useful book, whose efficacy, I believe, lies in the hands of the person who properly employs it.
this little book packs a mighty punch. the spells are set up for christian and wicca so there are two versions of each spell. the night before my husband went to our bank to apply for a mortgage, i cast one of raymond's spells. there was a lot against my husband. for one thing, he was 22 and had his first real job for only a few months. he was pre-approved for up to $100,000 and i knew the spell worked. get this book,have an open mind and start casting your dreams into reality.
