A Victorian Grimoire offers you a personal invitation to discover a storehouse of magical treasures. Enhance every aspect of your daily life as you begin to reclaim the romance, simplicity and "know-how" of the Victorian era--that exceptional period of American history when people's lives and times were shaped by their love of the land, of home and family, and by their simple acceptance of magic as a part of everyday life.More and more, people are searching for ways to create peace and beauty in this increasingly chaotic world. This special handbook--Grimoire--shows you how to recreate that peace and beauty with simple, down-to-earth "Victorian Enchantments" that turn every mundane act into an act of magic...from doing the dishes...to making beauty-care products...to creating games for children. This book is a handy reference when you need a specific spell, ritual, recipe or tincture for any purpose. What's more, A Victorian Grimoire is a captivating study of the turn of the century and a comprehensive repository of commonsense knowledge. Learn how to relieve a backache, dry and store herbs, help children get over fears of the dark, treat pets with first aid, and much, much more.Cover collage by Sandra StarckCover photography by Michael Yencho
