As Patricia Telesco (<i>A Charmed Life</i>; Wicca 2000) avers in <i>Exploring Candle Magick: Candle Spells, Charms, Rituals, and Divinations</i>, candles have always had a ritualistic component, and because they have so long been part of everyday life, the idea of using them as amulets, charms and magical devices is an accessible one. Written expressly for those who believe in magic, her book examines the topic in full from making candles to using them ritualistically and even uncovers the relationship between candle magic and feng shui. --<b><i>Publishers Weekly</b></i>, Copyright 2001 Cahners Business Information, Inc.-- "Reviews"<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Patricia Telesco</b> aka Marian Singer is the mother of three, wife, chief human to 5 pets, and a full-time professional author with over 60 books on the market, each of which represents a different area of spiritual interest for her and her readers.
