Came across this title in a footnote and had to track it down. The print is clean and easy on the eyes for long sessions. The font runs small in the appendices. Solid, if not essential.
My book club chose this last month. Solid binding, decent paper — holds up to heavy use. I'd have loved an index, but that's on the original text. Recommended with reservations.
Honestly wasn't sure what to expect, but I'm impressed. The historical context alone makes it worth the price. One of my better finds this year.
Conway offers a solid foundation for those new to candle craft, detailing essential correspondences and synergistic elements like oils and stones. However, experienced practitioners may find the content somewhat basic, lacking the nuanced depth required for advanced ritual work. It is not suited for scholars seeking historical rigor or those who prefer purely theoretical magical systems. This volume shines for its clarity and practicality but may feel repetitive to long-time witches already familiar with standard elemental correspondences and basic spell structures.
