I always make the joke about how I don’t need spells books because the magic is in me, and then gesture to the HUGE stack of spell books I own. So yeah, I don’t NEED spell books, but sometimes I want a spell book. In this case, the spell book is written by Aurora Kane, whose book “Goddess Magic” became an instant favorite. Today we’re discussing “Protection Spells: An Enchanting Spell Book to Clear Negative Energy” by Aurora Kane.
“Protection Spells” is part of a pocket books series from Wellfleet Press/Quarto Books. If you follow The Magical Buffet on social media, you might have seen a short video I made showing off how adorably cute this pocket-sized gem is! It is perfectly pocket-sized, hardcovered, with beautiful illustrations throughout. If “Protection Spells” format is the template the publisher is using for the entire pocket series, I highly recommend pretending they’re Pokemon and catching them all!
Fantastic format aside, Kane does an excellent job providing a great starting point for protection spells. The book is divided into four parts: Spells for the Home, Spells to Prevent Harm, Spells to Heal and Prevent Illness, and Spells for Good Luck. The spells range from simple, using commonly found items around the home, to more complex, requiring specific timing and harder to find components.
And so here we are, do you NEED a book of spells? No. Do you WANT “Protection Spells” by Aurora Kane? Absolutely.

About Tina Welling:
Due to its nature, tarot is ripe for assorted interpretations. Decks can differ in art, theme, and/or purpose, but it is still tarot. However, no matter how far afield a deck my drift, its core, the heart of tarot resides with the Rider-Waite-Smith deck. So let me say, when I saw that Weiser was going to “reimagine” or “reinvent” the most influential tarot deck ever created, I couldn’t help but feel it could be a lazy cash grab by essentially creating their “own” Rider-Waite-Smith tarot to sell or just kind of bad.
It’s feels weird to say, but Weiser has created the new traditional tarot deck. Since I started writing about magical and occult topics, when people would ask me a good tarot deck to start with, I would always suggest looking at where tarot began, the Rider-Waite-Smith deck. However, why would I do that now? “The Weiser Tarot” keeps the core of the tarot while making it better represent the diversity of tarot enthusiast today. Every person who loves tarot should have this deck in their collection.

As you’re hopefully aware, midterm elections are approaching. If you read my website regularly, we probably agree that politically things in the United States are not great. Now it is more important than ever to be an informed participant in all our elections, from local to national. There are many organizations that keep tabs on assorted political issues, and today I want to bring 
To put it simply, and in the most general terms, Santa Muerte is a death goddess. She represents death and everything that can entail: protection, vengeance, justice, innocence, wisdom, and much more. You can revere Her and pray to Her as a distant goddess, or you can have a transactional relationship where you curry favor and make deals. With all of this going on, Santa Muerte can be a confusing deity to work with. In comes “Secrets of Santa Muerte: A Guide to the Prayers, Spells, Rituals, and Hexes” by Cressida Stone.
Arrrr Mateys! It’s that magical holiday that once again celebrates silly pirate talk and provides me with an excuse to drink rum! Well, more rum. The holiday was 
However, although I love gin, it is more my husband’s spirit of choice, and as most of you know, I’m more of a rum lover. Where is my simple yet classy rum cocktail? Then it struck me, why not just flip the script on the French 75? And it works perfectly.
It’s that magical time of year again, when all of us book nerds join together to celebrate Banned Books Week, an annual event to draw attention to the constant threat of censorship that schools, libraries, universities, comics publishers, and more face. It’s a large coalition, featuring the efforts of American Booksellers for Free Expression, American Library Association, Amnesty International, Association of University Presses, Comic Book Legal Defense Fund, National Book Foundation, National Council of Teachers of English, and more that help put together the event.

Not to sound too much like Jerry Seinfeld, but what’s the deal with Satanism? Particularly, what’s the deal with our culture’s hang up about it? The answer seems obvious to most. Satan equals evil, so Satanism equals bad. It appears to be basic math, but it’s not that straightforward when you look closer at the history of Satan and those who have chosen to ally themselves with the Devil. Fortunately, alternative culture journalist La Carmina has laid it all out for us in her book, “The Little Book of Satanism: A Guide to Satanic History, Culture, and Wisdom.”
