The first thing that catches your eye about this book is the strikingly beautiful cover, but as the saying goes \u201cnever judge a book by its cover.\u201d In this case, I can say that the content is as impressive as the cover and you will not be disappointed in reading and owning this book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nAs\na newcomer to the world of spellcrafting, I was pleased about the\nbreakdown and content of the information in this book. The book is\ndivided into three parts: Spellcrafting; Spells and Rituals; and\nProtective Objects. Part One explains what a spell is, how spells\nwork and the basics regarding spellcraft; which is very useful to a\nnewbie like me. Part Two consists of spells focusing on defense and\nprotection and are divided into four categories. Lastly, Part Three\nprovides the reader with three protection rituals. One for\nprotecting a home, one for protecting an object and one for\nprotecting a person. Protective objects are also discussed in Part\nThree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the first chapter of the book, which also serves as the Part One, types of spells are explained. This is particularly helpful to someone who has little to no knowledge of spellwork. Chapter One reinforces that the most important part of a spell is the practitioner\u2019s will and intention to be the agent of change. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nPart\nTwo consists of four chapters each covering the following categories\nof spells: Body and Spirit, House and Home, Family and Friends, and\nOut and About. Each chapter begins with information regarding the\nspell category. Spell names are highlighted and written in a\nconsistent format which is easy to read and follow. Under each\nindividual spell is information on how or what the spell will help\nwith followed by materials needed to execute the spell. Each\nhighlighted area concludes with \u201cWhat to Do\u201d which is a\nstep-by-step explanation of how to complete the spell. Tips\nregarding the spell may also be included in a separate highlighted\ninformation box. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nPart\nThree consists of two chapters. Protection rituals are provided in\nChapter Six. They, like the spells in the earlier chapters, follow\nthe same familiar, easy-to-read format that the reader has come to\nrely on. Chapter Seven, the ?nal chapter, discusses protection\nobjects. Protective colors, crystals, gods, saints, angels, animals,\nherbs and symbols are explored. This chapter is an introduction\nprotection objects, and it gives the reader some basic information\nregarding these objects. It is intended for this chapter to spark\nthe reader\u2019s interest in wanting to learn more about protection\nobjects. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In conclusion, Protection Spells<\/strong><\/a> <\/strong>is a well written and highly organized book that I would recommend to others. Upon completing the final chapter, I was left wanting more information. I was saddened that the book had come to an abrupt end; which is my only disappointment in reading this book. After having the opportunity to learn so much about protection spells from Ms. Murphy-Hiscock, I was left wanting a conclusion or parting words. Given the inclusive outline and impressive organization of the book, it was the one lacking piece. Overall, the lack of a parting chapter is a minor oversight given the wealth of information gained in reading this book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
