Critics Review
“To describe this book as comprehensive would be an understatement with regard to its breadth and the lengths that the author went to in researching this fascinating subject. Love and money are probably the two primary areas in relation to divination and magical requests since the dawn of civilization, and that still holds true today. This book deals solely with the former of those obsessions and specifically with the use of potions in the realm of love. It covers methodology extensively and, more importantly, the ethical considerations as well as the history and techniques involved in the creation and application of love magic. Included in this are more than eighty pages of detailed information on botanical and fungal ingredients, with additional sections on minerals and animal ingredients, solvents, and distillations. If you have an interest in studying this area of magic, Love Philtres is definitely a must-have volume.” * Luke Eastwood, author of A Path Through the Forest, The Druid Garden, and Samhain *
“Original, fascinating, informative, thought-provoking, Love Philtres by the modern Druid, Jon G. Hughes, is an ideal and unreservedly recommended addition to personal, professional, community, coven, and college/university library Magick & Metaphysical Studies collections.” * James A. Cox, Midwest Book Review *
