Book Description
Anyone looking to mend a broken heart, turn enemies into friends, or find a guardian angel will find encouragement in this highly inspirational and immensely fun guide, which reinvents old-world spiritual rituals and time-honoured traditions with a down-to-earth, new-age spin. Sister Karol first briefly introduces each prayer ritual, then provides a list of simple materials and step-by-step instructions for carrying it out. She draws from a variety of spiritual traditions but focuses throughout on the power of ritualized personal prayer and positive thinking.

Should be called LOTS OF WAYS TO EXERCISE YOUR RIGHT TO LOVE,
By lrhillside@tds.net (North Carolina, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sister Karol's Book Of Spells And Blessings (Hardcover)
I bought this little book...well, I have no idea why I bought it to be honest. It was just so pretty. It sat on my shelf for some time until I whipped it out a few days ago. This woman is fabulous! She has used Catholic, Pagan, Jewish...you name as many religions or ways of seeing God/Goddess and she's used the most loving elements of each to creat a loving little book that will inspire you to ritual.I decided to go for it and bought all I needed to do the ritual for a job I love. In her view, you are preparing your alter because you're going to call down the Angels/God/Goddess, and she suggests to have complete faith that they WILL show up. Well, I never realized just how much fun this could be, or how reverent I would feel. By the time I was ready for my ritual, I wouldn't have been the slightest bit surprised if a parade of saints marched through my house...I felt overwhelming love, respect and joy. Isn't God supposed to fill you with this kind of rapture? Isn't faith and religion something that inspires you to love, to care about yourself and others? This precious little book opened my eyes (and most especially my heart) to something I've been longing for. She says that things will change and while it's only been two days, I've already had two dreams of healing, experienced more synchronicities in the last few days than I've had in the last two years and, furthermore, I simply can't wait to do more. When I approach my alter, I feel such a presence. After all, I know the love and tenderness I felt creating it, but now I feel something else...a link to the Divine, right here in my little home! Of course, I've always known it exists for me anywhere at any time, but now I know it's real. I can't explain it, don't even care to. If you believe that God is Good, that faith should inspire us to love, to open our hearts to miracles, then buy this little book. It is a gift to your Spirit!

This review is from: Sister Karol's Book Of Spells And Blessings (Hardcover)
Sister Karol's book arrived last week, and has quickly become a gem and a focal point of my library.Sister Karol opens the book with her definition of prayer and spells, and it just gets better and better from then on in. The book is full of useful information, prayers, blessings, and all things in between. This book has a very wide audience, including Christians, Christian Witches, Pagans, and everyone in between. Sister Karol's book is hard-bound with cloth, and is the perfect size for reading anywhere. The book fits comfortably in your hands, making it all the more pleasurable to read. So, if you're curious, read the book, invite God in for a spell, and enjoy!

This review is from: Sister Karol's Book Of Spells And Blessings (Hardcover)
Like the other reviewers, I too was drawn to this little book that felt so nice in my hand at the local bookstore. I expected to see candle rituals, incantations and the like from a pagan point of view. Imagine my surprise when the lovely blue and gold placemarker ribbons opened to the "Nuns' Birthday Blessing" ritual. A lapsed Catholic with decidedly pagan leanings, I took it right to the register and then home.The book continued to surprise me with its depth of information and scope of Christian, Jewish, and Pagan traditions. How nice to see a Catholic nun bringing ancient wisdom to light in a loving, warm and accessible way. Sister Karol goes beyond the mere compilation of rituals to focus on the importance behind their purpose and function in our lives. I like this book so much, I keep it out in my living room, where it's continually discovered by my friends and family. Pass this one on to your friends.
