Publisher's Synopsis
A practical book of spells and charms derived from a number of ancient Pagan cultures including the Babylonians, Canaanites, Celts, Cretans, Egyptians, Etruscans, Hittites, Norse, Phoenicians and Sumerians. These ancient civilizations provide a wealth of magickal workings - spells, charms and divinations - that are simple and practical for modern use. The six sections of the book speak to the many human needs and desires of prosperity, romance, fertility, healing, protection and divination. Each spell is described in detail, complete with backgrounds of the deities involved as well as step-by-step instructions for completing the magickal working. The spells are clear and precise enough to put beginners and historical dabblers at ease, but also provide enough background information to satisfy those more experienced with magickal workings. The spells and charms are all designed with a positive outcome in mind, heeding always the admonition to do no harm to oneself or others.
