This is a fun little book and I mean “little” literally. The book is roughly five by five inches. However, this little book contains a considerable amount of information despite the small size

 

I really liked the first part of the book which is a discussion on how to use the book. Each spell has a key included with it. This key list difficulty which ranges from easy or the author puts it, “a piece of cake”, to requires concentration. The second aspect on the key is for the amount of time it takes to perform that spell. This range goes from instant, to overnight, to needing patience. Finally there is a rating for reliability. For this the range is from a rating for it might work to it will work.

 

The next chapter covers the tools needed. The author doesn’t just list the tools needed but includes ideas on how to pick or create just the right tool

 

The spells in the book come under the headings – “for winning friends and influencing people, the secrets of success, beauty or the beast, having it all and emergency spells.” Each of these has several spells for each topic. Under winning friends and influencing people are spells for shining, a way to stand out from the crowd. This spell could be of great use for those looking for work and wanting something to add a little extra to an interview. Add to this the spell for a life buoy which is found in the success section. This spell is rated as one that is guaranteed to work to make any event go smoothly and greatly enhance your chance at success.

 

Other spells in the book cover gaining luck, gaining funds for a financial emergency, confidence, motivation, beautiful hair, getting your way, a fresh start and more.

 

This book is full of fun illustrations and drawings. At first glance it looks like just a fun little book full of colorful illustrations that brings to mind a children’s book. A further inspection shows this book is a whole lot more. It holds some amazing spells carefully detailed on how to create each one what is needed in the way of time and effort and the chance of success. I am looking forward to trying many of the spells found within the pages of this amazing “little” book.
