Alexander - The everything spells & charms book : cast incantations that will bring you love, success, and good health

2nd Edition

Dear Reader,

Do you believe in magic? Whether or not you realize it, you've undoubtedly done magic spells in the past. Blowing out candles on a birthday cake, for instance, is a good luck spell. Hanging an evergreen wreath on your front door is a form of protection magic. Prayers, chants, oaths, and many everyday practices are types of magic. Simply put, magic is the art of using thoughts, words, and deeds to cause certain changes to occur and to produce outcomes through means that conventional science can't explain.

Initially, you might be a bit skeptical about delving into magic. Hollywood tends to focus on the sensational aspects of magic, which can make the whole idea of magic seem scary or even ridiculous. In reality, most magicians don't put hexes on people; they don't turn frogs into princes or fly through the air on broomsticks. Instead, they use magic to help them get better jobs, attract the right romantic partner, safeguard their homes and families, and improve their health.

Maybe you're curious. Maybe you've dabbled with magic a bit and want to learn more. Maybe you're ready to take charge of your own destiny. If so, this book is for you.

With best wishes,

Skye Alexander
