stuff keeps showing up. I know you are going to think I am a horrible housekeeper but really, I’m not. It is just items that Red Wheel sent me and it didn’t interest me, I put it in a pile. Now it is a rather big pile. I ran across a book last night, I know you will love. I have the huge hardback edition of it and I absolutely loved it till I met the author one time. After that meeting, well let’s say I ain’t that crazy about her work anymore. But it is a good book, she did a lot of research into writing it and it has some fantastic spells, tips, potions & a lot more. I should mention since I saw who the author was, I never even thumbed through the pages. It is in super mint, new condition.
This book is “The Big Book of Practical Spells, Everyday Magic that Works,” by Judika Illes, author of The Encyclopedia of 5,000 Spells (that is the one I have, it is a huge hard back book). This book is a paperback book. It is a nice size to slip into your purse or if you are a man, easy to store. Here is the description on it…….
How about $8.00 on this one?
It is an extremely good buy at this price. I wonder if Red Wheel sees me selling all this stuff they will stop sending it to me, hmm….
Practical, inspirational, and comprehensive, The Big Book of Practical Spells is a useful tool and resource for beginners and experienced devotees of the magical arts. Here in one majestic volume is a basic introduction to magic; a psychic glossary; a primer on the four elements, colors, and magical supplies (including minerals and botanicals); and a compendium of spells for any situation you may face.

Lady A,
I joined your site a few months ago because the first time I opened your site, the welcome to your site was warm and different from any other sites I had visited. Once I started receiving your daily e-mails I found myself looking forward to each day when I came in to see what was in my in box. I have joined other sites and even though I was enjoying what I was getting and learning more of the path I follow, over time they have lost something. Something I could not put a finger on just a feeling that something was still missing. On your site your talk about yourself and your family and the kind of problems you are facing giving everyone a feeling of being family, I think that is part of what is missing or what I was looking for. Although we have never met you make everyone on the site feel like family, I pray you will be around for a long time to come. I must apologize I did not mean to ramble on, just that you have posted comments on politics and blessings for tragedies that happen all around us that most of us think of but I have not seen any other sites even mention anything about them. I think that is what I was looking for some one who talks & walks the path, not afraid to say it like it is. I believe that is what is missing from the other sites, I am a solitary practioner and what you teach & preach is the path I have followed since I begin this journey. I just wanted to say thank you for allowing me to be part of your community.
But enough of my rambling, I am interested in the book of practical spells you offer and some other items from your store that I have not been to acquire for some time. However due to some difficulties with my computer i kept having issues navigating the site. Issues that I have finally resolve as of last night. This morning was the first time I was able to navigate the pages of your store in about four or five months. Please let me know if the book is still available and I would like to combine with the other items if possible
Blessed Be

I am sorry it took so long to respond to your lovely comment. Your’s along with several other regular members ended up in the trash bin. I don’t know how that happened but I intent to find out. I was going to write a long reply to your comment, then I re-read it. Your comment deeply touched me. Thank you, you don’t know how much your words mean to me. I know after reading comments like yours, they give me the strength and motivation to go on. It was indeed a very beautiful comment and I am so glad you feel the way you do about the WOTC. We should be the ones who are honored that you are with us and I hope you will be with us a very long time to come. We always wanted the WOTC to be a refuge for witches from the outside world. A place they could call home on the internet, be safe and not have to worry about the mundane. I had wondered at times if I should talk about myself and all my crazy stunts I pull and the rest of our lives. I thought people might get tired of hearing about them. It seems like there is always something going on around here all the time. Heck, I am up late writing this because the coyotes are out in the field getting closer and closer to the cabin. Next, I will telling everyone how much I love animals but I had to shoot a coyote. We almost had one jump through the window one time trying to get to my cat that was sitting in the window. Since that time I have never been crazy about them coming up close to the house. See it don’t take much for me to get distracted. I guess I just like to keep things interesting and I have always felt like everyone in this group is my family. I just feel comfortable talking to y’all about things I wouldn’t talk to others about. Even those who are closest to me, don’t hear some of the things I say on here. But what’s family for if you can tell them everything in the book. I know I have been accused of telling too much at times but that is just me. I like to keep everyone up-to-date on what’s going on and what’s happening with me and the others. Some of the members here are followers of mine since I first started on the internet many years ago. We use to talk on the phone for hours and then life happened. So basically the only way they keep up with me is by what I post on the site. When we first started here I didn’t do that. Then I found out everyone was reading every comment that came out and it made me wonder if they were really interested. Come to find out they were. So now I just tell it out in public so they don’t have to search for what I have said. I have had a couple complain but they have been other site owners that did the complaining. I had some complain about the graphics, some complain about what I had to say and others I just ignored. I guess it must be the Irish coming out in me when I get on one of my soapboxes. I talk what I believe in whether it is politics or religion. Though, I try not to bring politics too much into the conversation. I found out they really don’t mix especially when witches get involved, we tend to get burned (if you know what I mean). But I am sincerely flattered by your comment. I am so glad you have decide to make us your home and I glad you feel the warmth and the love here. I have always told everyone when I tell them I love them, I am not just saying it to be saying it. I mean it from the bottom of my heart. We are family. I have had some rocky spots and there has never been a time that this bunch of witches hasn’t bailed me out. You do that for your family. I love each and everyone of you. Truth be told, we are all brothers and sisters and I believe we should act that way towards each other. Goddess knows the outside world isn’t going too. I had a serious offer one time to write a book, seriously. I turned them down. One reason it would have taken me away from the WOTC for too long of a period and I also told the publisher if I wrote a book, no one would ever believe it was the truth, they would think it was fiction, lol! It is a wonderful world in which we live, sometimes wild I will admit it, but still very wonderful. I believe we are truly blessed by the Goddess. I thought it was funny you mentioned the word preach. The first time I used that word on here, I don’t believe anyone knew what to think. Now they have gotten use to me using it and they seem to tolerate it. But I thought that was strange you brought it up, I believe you think like me, that might be a scary thing, lol!
I had been aiming to write you and make sure you had gotten your items from me. That pendant you got take extra special care of it. It is a protection pendant and I charged it myself. It will protect you just like the other one I have does me. As far as the book you asked about, I went through our suppliers today and apparently they haven’t released that book yet through any of them. I do know you can get it on Amazon. I know the publishing company always sends me the books before they are ever released to the public. But when I was cleaning up around here, that book had already been released on Amazon. So it had been in my pile for a while.
I do hope you find this comment and read it. I am sorry again for taking so long to respond. I want to know now who has been putting stuff in the trash that shouldn’t be there to start with. Thank you again for your very beautiful and moving comment. I sincerely do appreciate. Comments like yours are what drives me and I don’t plan on going any where for a very long time, if I have anything to do with. So you have lots more stories, politics and everything else to listen too, you lucky witch. If I don’t talk to you before Yule, I hope you have a very beautiful & blessed Yule.
Luv & Hugs,
Lady A
