Pure Magic: Book Review

Alright, alright. I know exactly what you're thinking, "But Buggy! Judika is beloved in the folk community!!! Sit back, read something objectively, and understand why I don't recommend her works. TW: Eds, weight spells, appropriation, mild racism via one spell that emulates a stereotype, gross body things, grief. This is: Pure Magic by Judika Iiles Rating: 2/10 Pros: Does mention when certain plants are poisonous! Some interesting small tidbits like divers carrying pearls to protect from sharks! A ton of recipes for bath salts, cleansing spells, protections, etc. 5 full pages of a Bibliography. Cons: Appropriates Hawaiian, multiple sources of Hoodoo, Haitian and New Orleans Vodun, Brujeria, Indigenous Peoples (North American, Central American), AND Hindu practices and deities. Advocates for summoning and working with lwa, in particular she seems to have an affinity for Papa Legba and Baron Samedhi. The latter of which she says anyone can make an alter to in order to help with grief. Also advocates for working with the Yoruba.

The author also makes some claims like even just witnessing a car wreck can break your personal protections??? Also states you must follow the wiccan rede and the rule of three. Like…a quarter of the stuff in this book comes from the opposite kind of practices than Wicca. Makes some…interesting medical claims, and not in a historical context, in a ‘you can do this right now’ way.

Also makes some claims that seem outrageous and may trigger some people who are battling EDs. Such as just by being a witch and doing work you WILL eat more or suffer weight gain issues. She also has a massive collection of weight loss spells, love spells, obsession spells, and some spellwork that seems to border on racist viewpoints, such as a slightly different version of the ‘never eat spaghetti from your girlfriend’ tale.

One spell in particular that caught my eye which included uh…putting something you shouldn’t inside you and leaving it there for 7 whole days. Doing so WILL give you an infection and the item will ROT inside your body. Just don’t do this please. The author also has a bundle of fertility spells, which is just fine, but then also has some birth control spells and the author doesn’t seem to acknowledge that proper medication may be needed for both of those things.

Conclusion: Just don't. There's some good in this book yes, and her other work might not be that bad but this one? This is a hot mess of a book and I don't recommend it in any way, shape, or form.

Finally got this book!! I've been wanting for a while. I still need the encyclopedia of spirits by the same author.

I really like your Artificial Demon AU, it just makes so much sense

Why would he kill overlords? Cause that's what he was trained to do How come he was so powerful when he first fell? Cause he was made to be that powerful by Sera And why would a person who died in the 1930s New Orleans have a name like Alastor? Cause that isn't true, he was never human, so why would he have a human name?

Like, something that has been bugging me a bit is that apparently in the canon show 'Alastor' is his original name, it's not an alias like with Angel (who's real name is Anthony). Which just seems so weird, it really doesn't feel like it should be his human name. Like, what kind of loving mother would name their son bloody "Avenger"? And where/how did she even come up with or find a name like that?

But in your AU, the name makes so much more sense! He's a ruthless killing machine who is 'avenging' Sera for the simple fact that she wasn't allowed to have exterminations. He's her retaliation, her revenge against them, and they had to pay quite dearly indeed.

Like read this and tell me it doesn't fit,

:Exerb from "The Encyclopedia of Spirits: The Ultimate Guide to the Magic of Fairies, Genies, Demons, Ghosts, Gods, and Goddesses" by Judika Illes

The only odd thing might be that the origin is Greek, when the show itself hasn't really shown to have any conections with that mythology, but like, it's still his name in the canon show

i mean, name Alastor is a normal real name, and back in 1900s they didn't have internet to look up the meaning of the name. And even so, i've seen different readings of the name, also with positive subtext like avenger for the weak and something like that, which is kinda fits for canon Alastor (remember that pre-canon comic yeah)

But yeah, thank you! I also like that this AU origin of Al fits so well to his canon self.

Btw that text on screenshot it actually made me think of Artificer from Rain World Downpour (spoilers don't read) she's a mother who lost her children to the local tribe of another species, and she's now avenging them, by killing every single member of that species, no even the specific tribe, she just started a goddamn genocide. She went so far, that she found and killed the king of that species who didn't even know her and didn't want to fight. And it backfires in the end, because she forever loses a chance to ascend and escape the cycle.

(end of spoilers)

is there a female counterpart for name Alastor btw? Because it would fit her.

[thecupidwitch]

"It is difficult if not impossible to find sympathetic portrayals of Loki.

A Magical Dis-Invitation: Banishing Spell

Based on A Magical Dis-Invitation and Banishing Powder in Judika Illes's The Encyclopedia of 5,000 Spells

Banishing Oil

Starting with the banishing oil, on page 128 there are recipes for some banishing powders. The ingredients for the one I used are:

Chopped bay laurel leaves

Black Pepper

Cayenne Pepper

Powdered hydrangea blossoms (substitute: rose thorns)

Sea salt

Grapeseed oil (my own addition)

I completed this oil on a Tuesday, i didn't record the hour, and didn't measure the amounts of the ingredients I used, just winging it. I do think I went a little overboard with salt though (very clumpy/not dissolving). When turning this powder into an oil, I used grapeseed over olive oil because I associate olive oil with prosperity and good health, which were not things I wished for her.

It was mid-October when I cast this spells so the hydrangeas were not in bloom, and I'd never experimented with them in spells work. I wasn't sure how they worked for banishing, but i knew rose thorns would be a nice painful bite. I used well over 100 thorns, you don't have to use that many, I was just pissed and had them on hand.

I believe I also prayed to Hekate to empower my oil to do its job. I shook it daily for a week, then placed it in a dark place to steep.

A Magical Dis-Invitation

Found on page 134. The spell reads as such:

Write the name of your target on a small square of paper, one square per unwanted person.

Anoint each corner of each square with Banishing Oil.

Bury this charm on the path to your entrance door, so that everyone who enters it is forced unknowingly to step over it.

It's simplistic but effective. The oil was able to steep for about a month. Things seemed to cool off and get worse all over again and i was finally fed up. I did this spell on a Thursday in the hour of Mercury. I would have preferably chosen a day and hour ruled by Mars or Saturn, but sometimes taking action immediately is more effective than waiting.

What I did differently: I wrote the persons full name and birthday on the paper, and instead of anointing each corner, I surrounded her name completely. I then turned the strip of paper and folded it away from me. Then I went onto my porch in front of my front door and slipped it through the slats so it'd rest underneath where everyone walks. The path to my home is concrete, so that's as buried its going to get.

After doing this spell the person I wanted gone immediately stopped showing up sobbing and hysterical on my doorstep damn near daily. In fact, I haven't seen her since.

[thanatoseyes]

My paired down list of spirit work and death magic. (Obviously this is what works for me and I'm kind of a picky person when I aquire written work)

Physical Media:

Cunning Words: A Grimoire of Tales and Magic by Marshall WSL (This one I pre-ordered and haven't gotten through the whole text but it's a good read. It incorporates the art of story telling with distinct spells and magic. I think it's very unique but I wouldn't recommend it unless you want something with flavor)

Riding the Bones by the three little sisters (this one is an anthology of particular practices from different walks of life pertaining to death and transition. I've only read a few of the stories but for what it's worth I think its good insight)

Botanical Curses and Poisons by Fez Inkwright (I only list this because it's always good to know what's good and bad for you. Know what can kill you and you can probably avoid it)

The Bones Fall in A Spiral by Mortellus (again I've mentioned this before but I think this is a good work for someone getting into the field and needs someone that's direct and experienced in what they do. One of my favorites.

Consorting with Spirits by Jason Miller (I feel like this is a staple of the craft and while I personally don't connect with the material it works and it has some good points)

Metamorphosis by Ovid (I think it's always necessary to deal with primary texts. Go with the classics. Ovid has a beautiful way of writing and you get to really understand the stories and myths that spirits of the dead living etc are connected to and if you do any deity work I highly recommend it.)

Of Blood and Bone by Kate Freuler (I have mixed views on this one. some of the stuff is informative and it provides some good spells, but it lacks transparency and depth. I find Mortellus book far more student minded.)

The complete language of flowers by S. Theresa Dietz (if you work with the dead, deities, spirits or hey plant spirits. Chances are you've come across Victorian flower language. I use this book as a reference guide for symbolism/folklore/ and as a way to connecting with spirits)

Encyclopedia of Spirits by Judika Illes (hey no library is complete without an encyclopedia. I personally like this one because it's very indepth without being too overwhelming. Not sure where to go? Just pick up this book and you can do more indepth research later. It's what it's there for. Reference guides are one of my favorites.)

Okay that's it for my physical media.

I also have a list of digital copies I keep.

Morbid Magic by Tomàs Prower (I think if you buy any book from this collection buy this one. It gives you an over all guide of most death practices around the world)

Historical:

Death, Dissection and the Destitute by Ruth Richardson

The Work of the Dead by Thomas W. Laqueur.

(I list these because they are a good source guide to how we treated the dead and spirits in the past. It's always important we learn from those that came before us.)

Greek Customs: (if you're going to do any type of work with Greek chthonic deities I suggest these three articles/books. I'm not saying its mandatory but these are very helpful guides to understanding ancient thought and how to bring them into today.)

Burial Customs, The Afterlife and the Pollution of Death in ancient Greece by Francois Pieter Retief and Louise Cilliers (free on research gate)

Underworld Gods in Ancient Greek Religion Death and Reciprocity by Ellie Mackin Roberts

Inner Purity and Pollution in Greek Religion Volume 1 by Andrej Petrovic and Ivana Petrovic (this one's my personal favorite)

[lazywitchling]

October 2024 Reading Wrap-Up

The eight books of this month really made me experience the whole span of human emotion. And maybe a couple of the shrimp ones.

Religious Text

None applicable.

1/10 - Why Did They Publish This?

None applicable (thank the gods).

2/10 - Trash

Pure Magic: A Complete Course In Spellcasting | Judika Illes

The amount of times I screeched about citing sources or admitting that the author has none...I didn't get too far. The author was wholeass pulling things out of her ass. This is the epitome of bullshit "feminist" pseudohistory. I couldn't even get to the parts about occultism because the bullshit made me throw the book.

(Side note, I don't think it's very "feminist" to depict women of the past as having a beautiful matriarchal society and then having that taken over by men... Like girl, you are actively shitting upon those who came before you! You are downplaying their struggles and lying!!!)

3/10 - Meh

Horses And The Mystical Path: The Celtic Way Of Expanding The Human Soul | Adele Von Rust Mccormick, Ph.D., Marlena Deborah Mccormick, Ph.D., Thomas E Mccormick, M.D.

Here's the thing. Except for the emphasis on combining a whole bunch of cultures together as Celtic, this was just...not the book for me. I'm not Christian, I'm not struggling with finding my faith in any way, and while I like horses I don't care much for the approach. It was just...boring to me.

4 to 6/10 - Mid-Tier

The Husbands | Holly Gramazio

This was a decent book. It's about a husband-producing attic, and the main female character trying to find out what's going on. But it was very difficult to keep up with all of the characters (because their details often changed with each husband) and the female character got to the point where she was just regularly speedrunning husband options. It feels like this was a little too long for what it was. I probably would have enjoyed it more if it was a novella instead of a novel. But hey, it was a debut novel, and we always love to see more authors coming up and out.

7 to 8/10 - Good With Caveats

Mead Mishaps 2 and 3: That Time I Got Drunk And Yeeted A Love Potion At A Werewolf & That Time I Got Drunk And Saved A Human | Kimberly Lemming

I read and enjoyed book one in September, and book two was just as good and fun, with a mystery incel cult going on. Book three was a little less enjoyable than the first, because it felt like it was setting up for things that never came through, and there's only so much new stuff you can tread with the same approach of "male dragon and [redacted for spoilers] human woman". But it was still stupid and fun and very, very horny. And these ones put content warnings in the beginning, which is very nice!

Mothman: Behind The Red Eyes…The Complete Investigative Library | Jeff Wamsley

My overall feelings about this book is that it's fine, the author's interviewing skills suck shit. There are a lot of newspaper clippings and some of the formatting makes me want to chew rocks, but it's otherwise pretty good. We take a very interesting detour into aliens and the Men in Black. It's also important to note that this is apparently the second Mothman book he's written and he repeatedly references the first one, which I do not have, but it also kinda stands on its own.

It's funny because I did not buy this book. My stepdad's coworker heard my stepdad talking about hopes to eventually go to West Virginia to see the Mothman statue and just. Had the book. And gave it to my stepdad.

Honestly, what a fitting way to acquire such a book.

9/10 - Very Very Good

Providence Girls: A Sapphic Horror Romance | Morgan Dante

This book made me want to chew a hole through sheetrock. That is a compliment. DEFINITELY mind the content warnings. Spoilers coming up, but the spoilers aren't actually that surprising when you remember that this is a Lovecraftian lesbian romance.

So the framing of it is that it's letters between Lavinia Whateley and Asenath Waite. Lavinia escapes being sacrificed in Dunwich and runs until she winds up in East Providence, where Asenath finds her and takes her in. Asenath is slowly turning into a fish person because she's from the mess going on in Arkham and they live together and it's simultaneously an analysis of Lovecraftian horror, living in the 1930s, and sapphic romance. They're so freaking cute.

Lavinia's letters are framed as being post-Azzie's fishification while Azzie's are from before that, but the letters alternate to create a linear narrative despite this non-linear framing.

10/10 - Unironically Recommend To Everyone

Doing Justice: A Prosecutor's Thoughts On Crime, Punishment, And The Rule Of Law | Preet Bharara

If you've been paying attention to the most recent posts on this blog, you're not going to be surprised that I've been going insane over this book. Narrative nonfiction wasn't one that I thought I would enjoy, but now I know that I do. There was only one part that I had to skip, personally, because of the details discussed...but honestly, it was so good. I look forward to reading more of what this author writes.

Inktober Day 13. We honor the Witch-Queen, Falcon-cloaked Freyja, Golden-Teared, Seith-Mistress, Chooser of the Slain! Original image is a 12-13th century bit from Schleswig Cathedral, posted by the Judika Illes fan page over on Fuckbook. Moderately happy with how this one came out, actually.
