Konnells worked for me.

I have heard that Cassandra Eason's book is good, not sure though..

has this been posted in the wrong forum??

Waiting for the punchline...

You are here in the paranormal thread and you don't believe in this sort of thing??

Yes, this is a public discussion forum, or have the rules changed?

I state that no matter which book the OP purchases, none will work as a spell book. The may work in other ways such as self motivation through a belief that something will happen, similar to a placebo.
If that is the case then you cannot claim that they work as spell books. In fact, it is damaging to some people for them to be led to believe in such things.

I'm still not a frog.

Bw

ps, still not a frog or anything worse.

As much as Im not a believer in spellbooks, the fact you can categorically deny such things exist, without ever bothering your arse to check if any do, is pretty ironic. Maybe Im wrong though - maybe you have research to back up your talk. Somehow I doubt it.

Did I call you ignorant? The burden of proof lies with those making claims. You claim its all bull****.

If someone claims these things are true and want to be taken seriously then yes, they should try and back up their claim. if someone says the opposite (ie you) then they too should follow the same rules.

A greater burden of proof lies with those asserting that spells work.
The negative assertion, that they don't work, has evidence of absence in so far as spells have never been shown to work under experimental conditions.

Although I think what Bogwoppit was objecting to was that idea that anyone posting in the Paranormal forum ought to believe in spells and magic (do these even fall under the heading of paranormal?).

Im only pointing out the irregularities. One said says something, otherside says 'bollocks' with no explanation needed. Sounds a bit crap to me.

Face1990 - i dont believe in spells or spell books - doesnt get away from the fact that as far as the paranormal goes, we all know nothing. The more cynical dont actually know anymore than those who believe in it and to be frank, posts that basically slag something off because the poster doesnt believe in it shouldnt be encouraged.

My understanding of spells/spellbooks/Wicca, based on what I've read (which is, arguably, probably more than the layby person), is that it isn't so much a case of the spells/spellbooks holding the power (to change something, or manifest something new), but it's the spellcaster/person themselves who does.

The spells/spellbooks (and listed ingredients and other requirements, e.g. must cast spell on night of a new moon, therein) are merely tools through which to direct powerful, sustained concentration and will/intent, and harness the power of nature responsibly and ethically.

More often than not, it seems that spell-casting or Wicca encourages people to work with nature to give people what they need (as opposed to what they want) at the right time, i.e. not always immediately and on demand. It's also apparent that the very nature of the practice, when it's used responsibly, is not to encourage people to depend on 'The Craft' unhealthily, but to encourage people to be more self-empowered and proactive in their own lives.

But getting back to the OP's initial query/request - take a look at this book: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Green-Wiccan-Book-Shadows/dp/1907563644 Seems to be well-written and sensible enough (as sensible as these things go, that is...).

Have the Necronomicon Spellbook sitting on my bookshelf. Will document my results in the coming weeks.
