About History Bookazine Book of Spells Third edition Back Issue

Have you ever wanted to make magic? Spellcraft is a mysterious and mystical art form, but with preparation and dedication, you can learn and experience it. To get started, you need to understand its history, from the beliefs and texts of its earliest practitioners to the magical theory that has grown out of them over centuries of practise. In this Book of Spells, you’ll discover some of the world’s oldest magical texts and how they were used, learn how to plan and assemble the ingredients you need, explore the figures and festivals that can help to energise your spells, and get started with casting them. We encourage you to take the time to explore the history and theory of magic before diving straight into casting spells. Like everything, the more you know and the more you practise, the better at it you’ll be. Spellcraft isn’t something that should be rushed. In this book you’ll find areas where you can keep a journal of your experiences casting the spells provided, so you can learn more about how they’re affected by the day, date, zodiac season, phase of the Moon and more. Your experience of spellcraft is unique to you, and only you can truly divine, and define, what you can achieve with it.
