EDIT: I MUST eat my words here. The more time I have spent with this book, the more I have come to understand the way that it works, and how intricate it is without being complex. This style of magic is a style of magic many people will balk at the first time they read - I know I did. I am part of Aiden's Facebook Group, and while everyone was in love with the title, I really did not care for it. I kept it, had a look through certainly, but ultimately the magic provided was not a magic I was seeking. But mainly because it isn't *showy* magic. The magic provided in this book could almost be acquainted with "The Secret" in that the focus is on changing the way the mind approaches and thinks about a problem. But, and I cannot stress this enough, *that is truly where the similarities end.*
The way this magic works seems based on the principle of Patterning, and having finally come to a breakthrough understanding about this process within the last month, I decided to read the book again. Good God Almighty, I was not prepared. This is adult magic. This is workable, problem-solving, measurable, and well-rounded magic that can be combined with nearly any other form of magic that exists, and better - it is all based on writing, something which is in and of itself, magical.
To be clear, I am getting nothing from editing this review. I am editing this review because it was incorrect. This book is valuable. It is so, so valuable, and I was in the wrong for having passed judgement on something I did not understand in the first read-through.
Original Review:
It's not bad by any stretch of the imagination. It's just not really for me. While the exercises are great for working through personal traumas and past issues, it's really more akin to "The Secret" in it's approach. Im certainly not knocking it, it's just not what I was expecting or hoping for when I read the overview.

Weavers looking for co-workers!
This is an amazing work. Reading it inspires me greatly and the workings are easy, natural and incredibly powerful.If someone asks me what one book to read for practical magic, this is it.The practical part and the examples he gives make the work very well explained and the transformation and magic the 'fictional' character is going through are actually very moving.Love the book!But... It could have used an editor. Mainly for the introduction which is a bit rambling, indirectly connected to the workings, and could do with a little better use of paragraphs, spacings, headings etc.But that doesn't detract from how amazing this book is. I'm doing magic on and off for 20 years, but the workings described in here will be my main way of doing practical and self transformative magic for the foreseeable future.Also, in discussions with the author on Facebook, you can also use these workings to help weave a better fate for the world around you. We need more magical weavers who are willing and able to dream a better life for all of us, connected with spirits, the Earth and each other in meaningful ways.So get this book, make friends with the Weavers and become part of the witches that work for the web of the world.
