I agree with most of the other reviewers-- this book is over the "beginner" level. if you've done your groundwork, this book will be a refreshing change from the "basics" that almost every book on Wicca covers. However, i do feel that the author places undue stress on HER WAY of doing things... she says to feel free to change her words around, etc, but then says "Do not use this lightly. Learn it by heart. Don't flub your lines!" i agree, one must be serious about preparation... but i don't think the Goddess will unleash wrath upon you if you accidently miss a word or say thee instead of you. buy the book, it's worth the $$, even though it's relatively short.

Having studied and practiced evocation for a number of years, I was very disappointed in this book.The feable attempts at psychology were annoying, and there were no rituals which fully explained the process of evocation. Evocation is a very powerful form of magick, and when performed correctly, can be as much if not more, potent than sex magick or sacrfice.This book was a collection of words, and only words, with no knowledge to share.The material reads more like a self-help book from the psychology section, dealing with fears and phobias that pop-up during the manifestations of that which is invoked. It is foolish to even perform such magick if the conjurer is set in the mind to believe the force is not external, but internal, and this defeats the entire purpose of invoking a force of nature much older and stronger than ourselves for the goal of attaining something. I'd say, 'back to the drawing board.'

What a fool. I can only pity her, and those seeking true answers who go on a wild goose chase in this piece of trash. Please, if you are interested in evoking or invoking, visit occultforums.com for a free resource, or check out one of the great masters of magic, Israel Regardie, Aleister Crowley, Dion Fortune, Franz Bardon.

The first 16 chapters of this book are unbelievable - knowledgeable, understanding of the human principle behind group evocation and invocation, and extremely useful. All chapters after 16, however, are about how the author's system is better than all others because the 4 individuals whom she saw try anything else were crackpots. Personally, I think she should have stuck with teaching what she knows; if she had, it would have been a 5 star response.

Ordered this tool box for grandson's machining course because instructor specifically recommended the Waterloo 16" tool box. The box we received did not have the Waterloo logo, instead having a Martin Tool sticker at the lower right corner. Sticker said Made in USA, but the box it came in (which did have the Waterloo logo on it), indicated produced in China. Checked with Waterloo Industries and all of their products have their logo. Returning item; already ordered from another source (unfortunately having to pay additional for quick shipping). Disappointed as order lots of items from Amazon and have seldom encountered problems.

This story of Ruth Prawer Jhabvala is easy to read but difficute to understand. It was about niece who want to find out the history of her family once they lived in India in 1923. With this reason ,she traveled to India and tried to follow all events that happened by that time. The story is described through a memory note which is fascinating for me. In addition ,It is illustrated the picture of India quite clearly both life style and culture. In my opinion ,this is really interesting and can attract me to finish it in a short time. Thus ,i think this book is quite good and i recommand it.
