When the evidence becomes overwhelming, When author Rich Newman first arrives at the battered doublewide trailer deep in the Mississippi Delta, it’s clear that this is no ordinary haunting. Called from Memphis to assist a local ghost hunting team, long-buried memories from Newman’s own past come back to haunt him—memories he’d rather forget. Collecting physical evidence, researching the violent history of the property, Newman’s investigation of the Martin house has become his most terrifying and mysterious case. What starts out as a malicious assault manifesting as deep rumbling sounds quickly spirals into a story of obsession, and sorting through the spiritual implications of demons
changes may be for your ultimate betterment,
you may not wish for them to occur so quickly, all at once and without warning. As a rule of thumb; when working
magic to gain something, be general and when working
magic to remove something, be specific.
Aside from any of these magical “rules” the basic ethic
that has been more or less followed is: do what you want as long as it does not hurt yourself or anyone else. Many will recognize this as the Wiccan Rede: An it harm none, do
as you will. As long as we remember to not allow ourselves to be harmed by others, I feel that this is a fine magical guideline.

We now come to the meat and potatoes of this book.
My impetus for writing this book was that there
needs to be a practical working manual for modern magic
that does not contain the hard to find, exotic ingredients that are quite unavailable or surprisingly expensive for most of us. Given the vast amount of herbs, spices, oils, vinegars, and foods that are readily accessible to us, I felt that it was time to thoroughly tap into it. I feel that it is necessary to state that although there will be foods (and some food recipes) listed in this section; this is not a cook book.
It will be primarily focused on magical ingredients
with recipes for oils, vinegars, potions, etc. and of course, spells in which to use them. I’ve divided the spell book
into sections based on magical desire and since herbs are
versatile; you may see the same ingredient listed in more
than one section. To help avoid confusion, I have in-
cluded an herbal index at the back of the book with every
ingredient from each section listed in alphabetical order.
Before we get to the individual spells and recipes, I
would like to go through the steps involved in the making

of the oils, potions, powders, vinegars, etc. First, let’s look at the making of magical oils.
Preparing Magical Oils
To begin, gather your herbal ingredients, a pot, and the
chosen oil together along with a spoon, a strainer and a
bottle for the completed mixture. Break up the herbs with
your fingers and hold each individual herb in your hands
and make clear your intention for the overall oil that
you are making. This will charge the herb in your hands;
readying it for the oil. Do this with each herb. Hold it in your hand, focus on your intent (love, luck, money, etc … ) and then sprinkle that herb into the pot. When all the
herbs are in the pot, pour the proper amount of the oil
(amounts are given in each recipe) over them and swirl
the pot to blend the mixture. Next, warm the oil over
VERY low heat; stirring slowly but constantly until you
can smell the scent of the herbs in the air. This will let you know that the essential properties of the herbs have been
transferred to the oil. Now, remove the oil from heat and
allow it to cool. When it has cooled, strain the oil into
a jar and then charge the completed mixture using the
Charging Ritual given earlier on page TK.
The same general procedure should be followed for
all of the oil blends found within this book. It is a simple and enjoyable process, but if you live with people that are not magically minded; since these blends are made from
edible ingredients from the supermarket, you can always

say that you are experimenting with making your own
flavored cooking oils. Note that that ONLY works with
the oils presented in this book as I have written them; no modifications should be made and you still have to worry
about food allergies if you choose to consume ANY of
the formulas in this or any book. I wouldn’t recommend
consuming magical oils anyway as a general rule since;
aside from any inherent danger, these recipes are not de-
signed for taste, they are designed for magical energy (so, they may taste really gross depending on ingredients).
Preparing Potions
