If you're just starting out, this is a *great* book for looking at magic. But, as the author says, much of it is the same as presented in the Green Witchcraft series - so if you've read those, is there really a point to reading this one? For someone that's read a lot already or has been practicing a long time, it's just the same old stuff rewritten and will most likely make you want to return it for a refund.

And, as a side note: Is it just me, or is Ms. Moura just playing off the success of her Green Witchcraft I & II with all her other "Green" books?

I'm not a very big fan of Ann Moura, but I have to say that I really liked this book despite the lack of spells. I loved the tables of correspondences in appendix a. She covers all the aspects of spellwork and provides clear and easy to follow instructions. Her other book, Green Witchcraft:Folk Magic, Fairy Lore, & Herb Craft, provides some background into her work, but this book is great by itself, too. A must have for the spellcrafting section of your Book of Shadows.

This is a very good book. She explains how magic works, energy working and how to use this energy depending of the type of magick youre using. Don't even read the review before me..this person doesn't really know what magick is..

In this installment of the Green Tradition, Ann Moura explores energy working. While this may seem very a general topic, Ms. Moura has tied this all in with her own tradition of Green WitchCraft.

All the components of working magic are here, and tradition or no, they can be applied across the board in any tradition where the individual wants to work magic. This reads as a basic 101 to a 202 primer on working with energy, energy manipulation, components of spell working and all the ritual and tools associated with this.

I was pleased to see someone finally approach magic as the energy work it is and work through the basics without the mumbo jumbo. Her section on energy is good, and her discussion on purpose and method will spark some conversations.

This is a good companion to her previous books, and is a good working primer on spellcasting and energy working. If you found her other books on her Green WitchCraft path your path, then this is a good continuation of that work.
