About this ebook
Pure Magic is a practical crash course for anyone who's ever envied TV witches. Or women who always seem to get the job, apartment, or date they want. Or people who can make their dreams come true. Judika Illes has written a spellcasting primer in down-to-earth language. "I consciously set out to write a book that would be different from any other on the market," Illes writes. "This book is jargon free. It contains information usually handed down from teacher to student. It focuses on the practical aspects of spellcasting in a clear and nonjudgmental way. . . . No specialized metaphysical training is required." What is required is that we become aware of the natural rhythms, energies, powers, and patterns of Earth and her diverse inhabitants. Pure Magic offers a plethora of individual spells, plus concrete advice on how and where to practice magic, to rightly use words of power, and to cleanse, protect, and enhance your magic self. Work your way through it's easy-to-follow, step-by-step plan, and all will become clear. Learn to listen to Mother Earth, focus on your magical allies, gather the simple equipment Illes outlines, and follow the straightforward instructions, and you will soon be constructing your own spells and experiencing magic in your everyday life. Pure Magic is a book that beginners will follow rigorously and advanced spellcasters will refer to again and again for guidance and inspiration.
Magic 101: this book is a complete course in real magic--how and why it works. Pure Magic is a perennial, from an author with a great track who knows what she's talking about.

Reviews for Pure Magic
12 ratings1 review
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Overall it is a reasonable magical 101 book, if you are looking to study magick from a heavily traditional feminine, fertility cult point of view. It doss not seem to be primarily Wiccan in scope, although the ethics seem to line up well. As I am looking for magickal knowledge that does not seem to be so very focused on fertility or romance issues/powers, its a pass for me but might be a good start for you.
