Do you have a problem that needs fixing? A wish that needs granting? A desire for love, a need for protection, or maybe just great parking? Look no further than the local grocery store Experienced psychic, witch, and high priestess Lexa Ros an offers spells for every occasion in this amusing, magically effective, and easy-to-follow guide.

Customer Reviews

Wonderful little book!

I bought this book when it first came out and I have used it constantly. It is worth the money and the spells use readily available items. I recommend this to anyone who needs a quick spell.

An eternal source of inspiration

If you are in the market for a great little book of easy-to-perform spells organized by category with the exact rhyming couplets written out for you, this isn't it (try Dorothy Morrison). However, Lexa lays out some delightfully ingenious correspondences for the pagan without access to a glade or a stream or even an occult-supply store. Her style is largely anecdotal, leading the reader through the thought process she goes through to develop a spell. And her style is accessible, casual and fun. While you're not going to get step by step instructions here, you will get the inspiration you need to extrapolate your knowledge and to craft your own spells using everyday items. I refer to it again and again.

Handy, Well Organized and Fun!

The beauty of The Supermarket Sorceress is not only the fact that it can fit into your purse, but the availibility of the ingredients for all the various spells. While an acre of land in the back is ideal, many of us city dwelling pagans are limited to window boxes and fire escapes. The spells are nicely organised into chapters and are quite original as they go way beyond just love and money spells. As for the "law of three" not all pagans, including myself, subscribe to that particular motto. So act with common sense and enjoy this original book.

Bravo

Well done ! I suggest The Supermarket Sorceress to any beginner and to any adept as it is full of useful spell which WORK !

Size does not count !

OK I must confess it I did not trust this "booklet" an inch when it reached my door. I was expecting a MANUAL and this was just a CD cover sized booklet but started flipping the pages and HEY PRESTO ! a pletora of eggcellent (not a typo, read the book and you'll understand) spells came to my eyes; I've been practicing magic(k)for ages and never found spells so easy yet so powerful. Bravo Lexa.
