Love and romance. They are, without a doubt, the strongest driving forces in the human make-up. We dream of them. Hunger for them.
Enchantments of the Heart provides an easy-to-follow magical formula for finding the perfect love. Embroidered with spells, embellished with rituals, and tied with the ribbons of practical advice, it's all you'll ever need to find the love of your life. The one you've searched for so long. That timeless, romantic, delectable liaison guaranteed to leave you breathless, quivering, and begging for more. Yes, it's the one that squelches the most annoying sound in the world. The sound of "ribbit" in the morning!
A third-degree Wiccan High Priestess of the Georgian Tradition, award-winning author Dorothy Morrison has been an avid practitioner of the ancient arts for more than twenty-five years.
Using spells, rituals and practical advice, Morrison (a Wiccan high priestess) offers what she hopes will help readers find true, fairy tale romance. Aimed primarily at women, this guide covers the enchanted subjects of frog princes, broken-heart spells, "love posturing" and seduction. Despite being cloaked in witchcraft lingo, Morrison's love advice is actually quite pragmatic she deftly advises on touchy subjects like first-time lovemaking with a new partner and body issues. Heterosexual readers not put off by suggestions for, e.g., performing a "hurt-feelings-be-gone" ritual will enjoy this quirky book; skeptics should steer clear. (Jan.)
