The Book if Spells by Gregory Branson-Trent

Ok, so this was a quick read as I didn't read page for page through the spells. It's a great book for the basics. It has some wonderful how to information for the person just starting out. What I can add is to remember that this is a very private practice. No matter what book you read, make it your own. What works for one person may not work the same way for someone else so when you find something you like, make changes, make it personal, make it what it needs to be fore your own use.



Some really great info I found that is not always in other books was how to make a BOS. It gives great instructions on how to create the book and what you might wan to put in it. I have always loved the binder idea. As someone who is really over organized, being able to add items in the middle is amazing. However, if you are wanting that leather bound journal look, you just learn to deal with some chaos, lol...



It also discusses how to write spells. It talks about "props" or tools and intent, chants, and other components  However remember. These things are all to show intent to make your will and focus as strong as it can be. That is what spell work is about, intent. If your intent is strong, you can perform spells with only your will. No props are necessary.



The book goes on to give information on simple spells, great places to start. Consecration and cleansing spells are always a great place to start. Though I know people do it all of the time, i was a bit concerned that the astral projection section was right at the beginning. I feel that astral projection is something that is mroe advanced and should be done with care. That is just my opinion however and to each their own. If you do try this, despite the fact that the book states that it's easy and that there is no danger, please be careful here.

The rest was basic simple spells. It's a great resource for ideas, spells to manipulate and change and make your own. If you do decide to pick this book up to read, I hope you enjoy it. It's quick and easy, maybe a couple hours at the most unless your read through every spell....
