Ellen Dugan, the author of Garden Witchery, is the ideal guide to show us how to bring the beauty of nature and its magickal energies indoors. Using common household and outdoor items-such as herbs, spices, dried flowers, plants, stones, and candles-she offers a down-to-earth approach to creating an enchanted home.
From specialized spells and charms to kitchen conjuring and color magick, this hands-on guide teaches Witches of all levels how to strengthen a home's aura and energy. Readers will learn how to use begonias and lilacs for protection, dispel bad vibes with salt and lemon, perform tea leaf readings, bless the home with fruit, invite the help of home faeries, perform houseplant magick, and create a loving home for the whole family.

Summary: good for beginer
Comment: I wanted to find ways to become more connected to the earth and the old ways. This book has many good ideas and showed me many ways to start. My suggestion to others is to make it personal, don't use her charms word for word, make it your own.

Summary: A lot of good ideas
Comment: This book had a lot of good natural magic ideas, and I enjoyed flipping through it. Not only is it good to read front to back, but also to dip into to pick out ideas. The chapters are well separated, which is great for finding what you need.
The magic in this book is natural, beautiful and back to basics. Nothing over ceremonial, which I like.

Summary: Had Potential...
Comment: This book started out strong and seemed to be exactly what I was looking for. I've been hoping for a book that focuses on the home, and ways to not only bring magic in, but also tips and ideas for decorating in a more magical way. The first few chapters seem to do exactly that - with detailed descriptions of what a witch's home could be, basic blessings, tips on finding the center of your home, etc. I was really excited! Unfortunately, soon after, the author committed the cardinal sin of many Wiccan titles: trying to do too much. She seemed to lose her focus, and the book becomes a mishmash of different ideas - protection, elemental work, feng shui, color magic, herbal magic, etc. Because she tries to cram so much in, she manages only to skim the surface of any of these areas - which means she gives information that has been given 1000 times elsewhere. I'm not new to magick, so I don't need the "color magick 101" course. I was hoping for more depth here, but it just wasn't there...

Summary: Very informative and interesting
Comment: This book is not only informative but it's written in a way that is fun too. It's not just instructional, it feels more personal and therefore for me more do-able. I loved it. I own two other books from same author and love them just as much!
