Hi I am Australian, I live in Tasmania. I got your book by a series
of events which lets me know my angels wanted me to have it. I
wanted to let you know that in one book I now have all the info
that I have bought about 20 books for in the past. I am a solitary,
never having met anyone who thinks like I do and lives around
me. I feel really comfortable with the info you provide in your
book, it is really well presented and it will become my bible
for just that reason. Thank you so much, and I wish I had found
it sooner. Blessed Be V.

hello soraya.
I would just like to say I loved your first book. I thought it
was a good insight into wicca that I know a lot of people have
been waiting for. I knew I was like you the from the moment I
could talk and have unfortunately had to hide it. I know a lot
of people don't but I have to as I know it won't be accepted by
anyone other then my friends. I thought your book was good and
it has given me the power to search out others like us. thank you.
blessings always. M
Hello, My name is K and I have just finished reading your book
which I thought was excellent it has made things so much more
clearer for me so thank you. I've been thinking a lot about the
three times three rule where whatever you send out comes back
to you three times more than what you intentionally send out.
Because of this before casting spells to improve my own life I
would like to try some to help other people with theirs so I am
not being selfish and thinking about myself all the time. The
problem is I'm not sure how to start. I was just wondering if
you knew any spells that I could try. I was thinking of spells
such as healing and protection however I would love to know whether
there are more. This way I could feel content knowing I'm helping
others and not just thinking of myself all the time. I would be
grateful for any help you could give me. Thank you for your time!
K
Hi K you say in your email some really nice things which I thank
you for and you tell me that you have read my book from cover
to cover but the spells that you ask about are on pages 151 and
179 These can be adapted to suit your needs. Remember the simpler
you make your magick the better it will be
Blessings Soraya
Ok
Thanks I will check over those pages again. I would just like
to say again how excellent I thought your book was and that I
really admire you. Many thanks K. xXx

Soraya, Can I just say that I am finding your book a fascinating
read. A real good guide, I have been quite heavily into healing,
like your own, my father's seriously ill too, I guess I found
spells, paganism and such as a kind of religion, something to
believe in and bring hope. So far, so good. Can I just say that
you really have a very personal way of writing; I have read comments
that others have left, and couldn't agree more with all the good
things they've said, you write as though you were addressing a
close friend. No pretence, confusion, big outlandish content.
You are an exceptional person, with exceptional skills, keep up
the good work!
Blessings, Cerridwen
Hi
Cerridwen
Thank you very much for your kind words. I am having a mental
bloc right no on my 3rd book. Not so much a mental bloc as so
many other things to do that keep interfering with the silence
that I need. Emails like yours always help to stimulate the desire
to write more. Hope your father regains his health
Blessed be Soraya
Hi
Abi and Jade
Using a Ouija board is not magic. I am cross that you have been
tempted to try this. The first thing that you need to know is
that there are no white witches and black witches. Witches are
witches end of story but there is a difference to how we practice
magic and if you are a good person you will only work with good
magic or white magic. If you are evil or wicked you will work
with black magic. Using a Ouija is delving into the black. do
not ever go there again. You may right to me and I will be happy
to answer your questions but your parents must know what you are
doing so I insist that you ask for their permission and you can
have your mum or dad email me.
Blessings Soraya BE good

Dear Soraya, my name is Louise I recently found your book in your
local library and was drawn to it. I found that the things in
it were the things I have always wanted to do. I have only one
problem, I'm twelve years old and both of my parents think that
witches are a load of rubbish. I can't tell them about it because
they already think I'm strange. Do you have any advice for me?
Please help, thinking about magick is the only way I feel like
I belong. From Louise
Hi
Louise, I was exactly the same as your parents especially when
someone gave my daughter (when she was 16) a book on paganism.
I immediately snatched it from her and told her that she could
not read it until I had. I was quite sure that I would put it
in the bin but when I started to read it I realized that everything
that I read about was what I believed anyway. It would be wrong
of me to try to influence or advise you without your parent’s
knowledge and approval however I suggest that you let them read
my book or even email me and perhaps I can put some of their fears
straight.
Blessings Soraya

Thank you for your kind words Morticia, I am glad that you found
my book helpful. We all feel as though we want to know more but
in truth the more that you are looking for lies within yourself.
That is really what being a witch or pagan is all about, knowing
yourself and the abilities that you have. Keep reading and even
go back to books that you have already read and you will find
things that mean something different as your understanding and
knowledge grows. Blessings Soraya
Dear
Soraya,
please could you help me I have been studying Wicca for 2 years
now and I feel I have learnt all I can from books as now they
just seem to be repeating what I already know and some of them
tell me that certain things should be done in totally different
ways so is there any other way to learn the things I haven't already
and I would just like to add that your book of spells was the
most helpful book I have ever read
Yours thankfully Charmaine

Subject: Your Book of spells
Dear Soraya, I just read your Book of spells and loved every minute
of it. I found it fascinating. I feel I am almost there already.
I have been studying Astrology for 11 years now as well as practicing
herbal medicine and working with essential oils. I have collected
almost all the tools listed over the years without realizing I
would need them someday. I have a question though. My first spell
is going to be for my daughter. She is almost 17 and entering
her senior year of high school. She has played lacrosse for years
and hopes to get a lacrosse scholarship for college. She has 3
universities that she wants to attend and I was hoping I could
help her with her dream to play for one of these schools. She
is also a good student. I am not sure if I should use a spell
for career or a spell for opportunity? Also, I want to make sure
I understand something. Since I am a Capricorn it would be best
to perform this spell when the moon is in Capricorn during a waxing
moon phase, yes?
Thank you for taking the time to read my e-mail and for writing
this wonderful book.
Blessings, Lisa
Hi Lisa
Thank you for your kind words. Since the spell is for your daughter
I would be inclined to do it during a time when the waxing moon
is favoured by planets or sign that are significant to her sign.
You must remember though that it is wrong to interfere with another's
destiny so word your spell for fulfillment of her dreams and so
that no harm may come to her for example supposing you did a spell
for her to go to one of the three colleges and by getting there
she missed a bigger opportunity which is not yet known to either
of you, or perhaps got to one of these colleges only to find that
she did not like it or the people or the tutors!! Exercise caution
when using any spells and remember what we want is not always
what makes us happy when we get it. May your blessings be many
on your path and may good fortune smile on your daughter. Blessings

My name is Matt,
I have bought your "Book Of Spells' and I think it is brilliant.
I would like if you could e-mail me some web sites that sell candles,
brooms etc as I live in a very small town and there are no shops
that sell these things the best I can buy is standard white candles .Thank
You very much this will help me a lot.Best Wishes Matt
Hi Matt,
You can make your own broom stick either by buying a brush handle
from your local hardware store and then binding twigs at the bottom
of it. Once you have done this you can then begin to decorate
it by carving symbols or glyphs onto it and dressing it up with
feathers that you find. When you are satisfied with your work
you will be ready to bless it. Take a small dish of water to which
you should add three pinches of salt. As you add the salt repeat
these words.
"Salt
is Life Here is Life,
Blessed be Without strife"
Repeat this three times while keeping the point of your index
finger in the water. Now sprinkle the consecrated water over your
broomstick and say
" I bless this broom,
To cleanse it sure
To keep my space
Both safe and pure
And it harm none so be it".
For your candles email me your requirements i.e. colour and quantity
and I will email you the cost including post & packing. I hope
that this will help and that you enjoy the experience. Blessings

Dear
Soraya
I would just like to e-mail you to thank you for writing such
a good and helpful book. It's the best that I have read yet!!
I am 13 and am an amateur at paganism although have a little experience.
I read your book and it helped me tremendously. Have you written
any other books are you planning to do so? Do you know of any
other places/books etc. that will help me to become more advanced?
Once again I would like to thank you for writing such a good book
and any tips you could give me would be much appreciated.
Thank you Remie
Hi Remie
Thank you for your kind words. The right books will appear or
appeal to you at the right time just as the teacher appears when
the student is ready. There are so many books available on the
market that I am sure you will find the right ones when the time
comes. I am currently writing books on Runes and Dreams. I have
just finished Tarot and Psychic Powers and all should be published
by the end of 2002. Email me nearer the time if you cannot find
them.

Hi

Dear
Soraya,
Subject: Coincidences
I recently purchased your book 'Book of Spells' in Ireland where
I live. At the time of purchase I was feeling particularly low
and thought perhaps my Higher Power had deserted me! I have already
cast three spells and two had such quick 'returns' that I was
astonished and delighted! The very act of preparing my altar for
the spells and collecting the necessary items was so relaxing!
Today I bought some crystals (healing) and mentioned your book
to the lady in the shop. She told me that you are of Scottish
parentage, from one side and live in Scotland now. A number of
my emotional and spiritual problems stemmed from a relationship
I had been in with a Scottish man - a Highlander! so I thought
it was certainly my Higher Power that directed me to your book
- the Scottish connection! Then I visited your web site and saw
your logo of the unicorn - and I have a tattoo of a unicorn on
my right shoulder blade. I know the forces of goodness are minding
me! My Dad is seriously ill at the moment and I have cast a health
spell for him and my Mum - so I hope that Mother Nature looks
kindly upon them. Thank you for your help to me -I do not know
you in the physical sense but my soul has sought you out , so
soul friend , take care and may your life be happy and fulfilled.

Hi Helen,
I am a great believer in coincidences but prefer to call them
signs and her is another one for you. My dad is seriously ill
too but his spirit is fantastic and we are all very proud of him
and the way that he has positively handled his illness. He is
an example to everyone with whom he comes in contact and a hero
in the eyes of his wife and children. I hope your dad and mine
continue to remain strong in spirit and that we each are rewarded
with their presence.

Hi,
I am writing to you from South Africa and just wanted to tell
you how I got to read your book and the many coincidences have
occurred around it. A friend of mine bought your book when she
was in the UK a few months ago. The reason she said that she bought
it was because you came from Paisley and that is where I come
from. Anyway she gave me your book and after reading the first
few pages I thought " oh my god I am a Pagan". I cannot believe
that I have never read a book before which clearly described my
belief system the way you did. I spoke to my friend that lives
in Paisley about you and she said, oh yes, your sister and I have
both been to see her and had our cards read. I have completed
the first three steps towards my Reiki Masters and I am a Yoga
teacher. I would be very interested in reading any other books
that you may suggest that would help me in my development towards
enlightenment. I have already told my friend in Paisley that the
next time that I am in Scotland I want to have a reading from
you. Hope to hear from you in the near future. Best wishes Eleanor
Hi Eleanor
and yet another coincidence or sign. I am pleased that you have
read and enjoyed my book and would be happy to meet up with you
and read for you when you come to Scotland. Blessings Soraya

Hello
I have just finished reading your book and think it is truly inspiring
it makes me want to learn more and was wondering where I could
find some more easy to follow spells and rituals. I have recently
gone on to the book of shadows web site and received many spells
there. Leaving me with now two spell books, thanks again for all
your work and effort that has been put into that book please reply
many regards Chloe

Dear
Soraya
I have just finished reading your book and wish to thank you for
your time in showing others how easy it is to practice safe magik.
When I was young and immature I was inquisitive about the pagan
faith but found I practiced unsafe magik due to the fact there
was not much literature to guide me. Since then I have met with
pagans at festivals and slowly learnt more detail about the faith
and since discovering your book I now feel I can make magik safely
and for the right purpose. Tomorrow I am hoping to buy your book
about dreams as I cannot wait to learn more. Thanks again soraya,
Rachel
Hi
Rachel
Thank you for your kind words. I have only just finished writing
Enhance your Psychic Powers and just started my Dream book so
I am afraid that you will have to be patient and wait till the
end of the year when it is published. Enjoy your pagan path. Blessings

Hi
Subject: black candle
I'm new to wicca and having a little problem with your spell book
in that when casting a circle originally you say to light both
large alter candles, yet in the spells section the black candle
is not always mentioned, I'm probably missing a point but would
appreciate knowing why. Nigel Plymouth U.K
Hi
Nigel
The reason that the black candle is not always mentioned is that
it is not always required. I use one for balance like yin and
yang, male and female, but sometimes I feel I only want white
or other coloured candles. My words are not gospel and nor are
anyone else's. They are there for your guidance but your instincts
are more important. Enjoy and stay positive. Blessings Soraya

Hi
Soraya
Yesterday I bought your 'book of spells.' I read the whole book
in one day, it was very interesting. I identified with a lot of
what you wrote. I too have found many gifts within myself that
exceed practical understanding, or as you put it 'magic.' I daunt
put any of my beliefs into a religion, I just cant settle or feel
I belong to any kind of religion, however I do believe there are
many higher and stronger energies other than the material we live
in. I do feel that the way you practice magic is also a way I
could work in. astrology has also been a big interest of mine.
Reading your book has made me very interested, using birth signs
amongst other things is very interesting I would love to here
more about how you work, thanks for sharing your knowledge and
wisdom, I do believe magic brought me to your book! bless you,from

9th May 02 Hi
Thank you for taking the time to respond to my message. I purchased
your book of spells only a couple of days ago. I expected it to
be just a book of spells but found it to be a lot more and infarct
have read most of it. I have always been interested in spiritual
matters but never even realised just how quickly I could read
(in fact I am sure that your book read me!)- I could hardly put
it down. I have tried to read books such as yours before but,
unlike yours, because of the language in which they were written
have found them difficult to follow............. Regards Jo ---

Soraya, I have just read your book of spells and I thought it
was brilliant have been looking for a long time for a simple guide
to Wicca and I have bought quite a few but none have set it out
as clear as you have.it was so easy to understand and even showed
you step by step rituals. i was very grateful for this as i did
a health spell and now my grandma is recovering from a bad illness
she had.im 16 and would really like to study Wicca seriously and
have done for the past few years. i would be grateful for any
information and help you can give me as there is no one really
where i live that studies wicca or witchcraft. it isn't the 'done
thing' really.this doesn't bother me though as i feel it is the
right path for me, unfortunately it does mean my resources and
help is limited! yours, Amanda.
Hi Amanda, Nice to receive your email, I will be in touch soon.
