Eileen Holland has put together the ultimate resource for practitioners of magick, witchcraft, native traditions & paganism in her latest book, Holland's Grimoire of Magickal Correspondences. Known as the author of other comprehensive witchcraft guides such as A Witches Book of Answers, Spells for the Solitary Witch & The Wicca Handbook, Holland presents an intriguing collection of over 500 separate topics that literally catalog what colors, actions, rituals, symbols, planets, elements, days of the week & even animals are associated with a variety of subjects.

For example, “Accomplishment” is associated with the color purple; the numbers 4,7,8,9 & 22; the spindle tree as its corresponding plant; the Goddesses Demeter & Isis; & wine is the potion of choice. Anyone doing a ritual for accomplishment can utilize these correspondences to increase the positive power of their energy & actions & make their rituals more effective.

Everything from A to Z, from Achievement to Zeal & all points in between is covered here in this weighty handbook. There are even correspondences for changing a situation from negative to positive, or to attract things to you, such as luck, abundance & healing.

Many subjects also list which ritual tools are best, when are the best times to do which types of spells, how to protect yourself & your home from negative energies, what herbs are associated with the healing you seek, & even what direction to gather energy & magical assistance from.

Holland's Grimoire of Magickal Correspondences is a must-have for anyone serious about working with ritual magic & the energies of nature, but even if you have no idea how to cast a circle, these correspondences are fascinating to read about, gleaned from various cultures & religious traditions such as the Mayan, Egyptian, Norse, Afro-Caribbean, even Celtic & Native American. This book leaves no stone unturned, including those that bring good or bad luck.

Don't set up that altar without it!
