Summary: THE BEST! Get this book it's worth every penny
Review: Even if you dont want to become a witch it is a fun read. If you are looking into becoming a witch is very informative and gives a ful range of information. I recommend it to anyone!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Little Wickedness is a Good Thing
Review: I have long been a fan of the no-nonsense writing style of Patricia Telesco. The title is what caught my eye, but the author is what made me buy it. I was NOT disappointed.

This book is a blend of practical approaches to modern witchery and older folk magic. She suggests easily-obtainable substitutes for the "budget-minded witch" and invites you to adapt spells to suit your individual purpose.

The title may be somewhat misleading to someone who doesn't bother to delve beyond it. It's not about curses and hexing, but about taking the phrase "wicked witch" and OWNING it; being proactive in your life, instead of letting things just happen to you. It's about turning an epithet into a badge of honor. (Women who take pride in being called a b**** will know exactly what I mean!)

I think this is a fabulous and very usable book, that belongs in every wicked witch's knapsack.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Fantastic and Needed
Review: i liked this book and all the information it provided.
but the only problem is the items it required to do the spells weren't normal things a person would have you have to go look all over for them.

where do i find mint leaves?
where do i buy oils from?
where do i get rose water from?
where do i get packaged champagne yeast?
or um
fresh organically grown violet blossom?

most items are hard to find or are things i've never heard of.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: it's okay
Review: Nice title, don't you think? Of course, but, all who have heard of the author already know it's not about being evil or anything. It's basically just a book to take into your hands when you've had a bad day. (Nope, when I have bad days, I don't find myself turning to it, or any books for that matter). I guess this is a good book to have around, for basic fun and witchery, and if you're a fan of kitchen witchery, you'll like the last chapter. There's also a weird spell in there to make people go away by making them fart. (I think it would be easier just to tell them to leave, than have them stink up the house!) What else to say? Well, I don't know if people who have her other books would find anything new in this one, since this author likes to repeat stuff and the such, and, the last chapter of this book, "Bubble, Bubble, Toil and Trouble (Food and Beverage Magic)," has now been published as its own little book.
So, did I think this book was fun and informative? Yes, but I wouldn't say its a must-have. In it, it has hints of glamour, simple folk spells, kitchen witchery, and the such, which is always good if you wanna feel magical, or just wanna solve a problem by using magic.

This book is probably good for kitchen witches, and similar folk.

Summary: I love this book
Review: Patricia Telesco will always be one of my favorite authors. Her non-pushy attitude and great sense of humour make the book worth the read even if you don't use other people's charms or spells. She's had a wide influence on the young pagan coven community, and this book just reaffirms that she's just as good for a solitary practitioner.

Summary: fun little book
Review: This book isn't just for witches, anyone can learn that if they harm someone, they're bound to get it back! Its really a sweet approach to living with little lessons about how to treat others, to use your mind and rationalize the best route to go when dealing with difficulties and so on! The book is positive and upbeat, modern and informational too! Enjoy learning new spells or just gain insight. I would reccommend this book to someone who is wanting to begin practicing or to family and friends of witches everywhere for a better understanding of how human witchcraft really is.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: fun little book
Review: This was a fun little book to read. She presented some creative ideas, especially in the section on divination. It's a nice lighthearted read, but don't let the lighthearted tone fool you, b/c there is actually a lot of information in this seemingly thin book.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Telesco's Best Yet!
Review: With one eye on the 'three-fold law,' this book lightheartedly illustrates ways of practicing gray magic. The workings are highly creative and range from divination, spells, charms & amulets, and kitchen witchery among others. With this book, every single act can be turned into a magical moment. What is 'wicked' about the book is its humor. The charm adapted from Albertus Magnus is a riot.

Rather than repeating detailed correspondence charts, the author references other magical books with more detailed entries. What makes this book special is the sheer inventiveness of what can be considered a magical tool. "The Wicked Witch's Rules" are also important to take into consideration as we walk in our pointy shoes. This is beautiful, pure, earth magic at its best.
