 Great for all ages! November 15, 2008
Ostensibly written for young adults, this tome of arcane knowledge is a fantastic resource for all aspiring wizards and mages. I recommend it highly to any novice beginning their spiritual path, and even those more advanced; as it is extremely well organized with a fantastic appendix. I am so glad I picked it up.

I am enjoying this book more than I had intended. I bought it for my son but it turns out I've been doing all of the reading! It's the book I wish I had found fifteen years ago when I was first introduced to this sort of thing. The tone is playful without being irreverent. Zell's approach is appealing because he takes it seriously, but knows how to have fun. That makes it a great barometer for how much he loves what he does. And he makes it a point very early on that this isn't the type of wizardry you read about in fiction, a distinction I am glad to see. I would prescribe this book (and it's companion) for, at the youngest, kids in their tweens and also anyone new or curious about wizardry.

I recently bought the Grimmoire along with the Companion of the apprentice wizard and i must say i was dissapointed,this reveiw is for both of them, its a very nicely written book with a lot of nice info but thats it. Most of the book covers subjects that are, in my opinion, irrelevant to the art of magick or are just cheap conjuring tricks for entertainment..couple of hours after I started reading them i thought i was reading a field guide book. Sure its very useful to know how to start a fire without a lighter, or to be able to find North East West and South just ny looking at the stars, but lets face it, i will never need it! It wont enhance my magickal abilities either so, it useless. After all if i did want to learn how to do a ll the above things i would buy the SAS field survival guide! Now dont get me wrong , I believe Oberon is a great wizard and a passionate for his trade man, but he could do better than this. These books are both for people who have never before encountered spells, rituals, and believe witchcraft is what Harry Potter films show.
An EXCELLENT Compendium May 9, 2008

Stand-alone, this book is an exceelent reference, coupled with its companion, its exceeds my expectations, and when placed in a triumverant with its online school, The Grey School of Wizardry [...], then it rises to to the category of an epic piece of writing. Essential knowledge to have for both the experienced practioner and the newcomers is found at every turn of the page. Whether its an overview look at magical times and clanedars, a quick reference on languages, or a semi boy scout handbook on nature (and beyond!) its all here. I reccomned using this with the companion and the school for maximum effectiveness, but this alone will get many started in the right direction.
An absolute must, for the new Wizard or Witch. April 24, 2008

This book is not only thorough it is well written. The references are extensive and well thoughtout and it would serve as an excellent introductory book for any young Witch or Wizard. The age range I would recommend would be between fourteen and up, although I am sure that some individauls that are younger would definately find it useful, it can be a little complex and insightful.
