Rating:  Summary: A Most Timely Guide Review: In our post 9/11 world we have never been more aware of the true meaning of emergency. Whether enormous global crisis or minor personal dilemma, Judika Illes once again manages to calm us down and set us on the correct magical path. Her articulate intelligent approach will convert even the most hardened skeptic. These are result-driven spells and I only wish I had this book years ago. As in her previous book, Earth Mother Magic, Judika mixes an original blend of old and new techniques to come up with a potent brew that is perfect for today's lifestyle. These rituals require neither an exorbitant amount of financial expense nor a prohibitive amount of time. They are thoroughly modern yet grounded in history. And best of all.... they work!
Rating:  Summary: Well .... Review: Outstanding! Wonderful! Timely! Much Needed! Fun!Buy this book by the dozen and give them as holiday gifts to all of those you love! This is a great book for the witches of today. We live in a fast pace world, and these spells are not only quick and easy, they WORK! Judika, we are very lucky you came out of your broom closet.
Rating:  Summary: Not Wicca 101 Review: The reviewer who complained that Emergency Magic reads like a manual is unfamiliar with the format. This book is more like an old-fashioned grimoire than a new age primer. Emergency Magic is a lean, lucid, easy-to-read collection of spells. Instructions are clear and direct. The book includes a small oil formulary, sources for ordering supplies on-line, Latin names for plants: using this book couldn't be easier. This is an ideal book for those who aren't looking for alot of philosophy and explanation, just an excellent selection of unusual spells. It is also ideal for the more experienced witch: adepts with a good grasp of the subject looking to expand their magical repertoire. Those interested in the "how's" and "why's" of magic might do better to look at the author's previous book, Earth Mother Magic.
Rating:  Summary: Just not enough Review: There were alot of spells in this book, but they read like manuals as opposed to spells ... there was no feel to them ... and alot of them were too short on explanation ... of the spells effects, the ingredients, or the deities they would have you invoke. I realize that the point is to have a quick reference book for emergency situations, but many of these spells are for things that are not necessarily emergencies and could have been expanded on. Not a bad book, but there are certainly better books out there.
Rating:  Summary: Emergency Magic - It is about time. Review: This fascinating book lists four of these emergency situations right on the cover: 1) stop a cheating lover, 2) land a promotion, 3) prevent parking tickets, and 4) fit into your wedding dress. I was excited to start trying these great spells right away. Unfortunately, I'm somewhat dyslexic and instead of correctly doing the above four spells, I got a little mixed up and what happened was my boss got the parking tickets, the lover who was cheating on me got the promotion, and the meter maid who gave my boss the tickets lost the weight and ended up fitting into my wedding dress. Well, don't let my little magical misadventure discourage you, as this book looks to be filled with great spells for all occasions.
Rating:  Summary: wonderful book Review: when i got this book it looked too small to have all the spells that it says it had. the same day i tryed a spells in the book and i saw the spells's ''work'' the same day. over all very very good book you should buy it you never know what scenario you might be in.
