I continue to enjoy these introductory books to magic. While I don't really want to enchant anyone into being in love with me, I do like knowing how I can fit little bits of magic into my life. For me this book was similar to those cook books that promise recipes that can be completed in a short amount of time. Even if you don't have a lot of time, you still want nice food. Even if you don't have a lot of time, you still want to engage in the craft.

Alexander starts with the basics and builds you up from there. The book covers a variety of topics, from candle magic to tarot to love spells. While my interest doesn't particularly lie in spells that affect change in others, I nonetheless found a lot of things in this book very interesting.

Another winner!

10-Minute Magic Spells does the same thing that 10-Minute Crystal ball does in that it teaches you techniques that are easy to follow and only take up ten minutes of your time. Here you are taught to use quartz crystals to protect yourself and your home, as well as, make love charms to attract a new love.

Love this book!

Okay now tell me who didn’t love that movie teen witch and wished you could also wield magic or watching The Craft as an adult? I know I did, wishing I could use magic to help through my daily tasks. Well this is a different kind of magic that gives guidance on how to attract your secret crush, bringing in good luck, and other things. So if you’re into Spell Casting this book is for you.

I don’t know if the spells really work. I just read the book I didn’t try any of the spells. I just thought it was an interesting read.

I love everything by Skye Alexander and 10-Minute Magic Spells was no exception. Everything was laid out clearly and simply and I very much appreciate that in a book.

I thought the magic spells were easy and effective to follow.

What a fun read!

Firstly, all the teachings in the beginning regarding the type of magic and the Wicca "do no harm" principles were highly appreciated and important. The rituals and spells were indeed easy and, well, 10-minute spells which I am grateful for.

10 Minute Magic Spells is a greta introduction to the world of spellcasting and witchy things. It goes over the basics in ritual tools, spellcasting and magical associations in a easy to follow, approachable way. A newbie to this world would not feel intimidated to do one of these spells or like they were not "skilled" enough. If you are more experienced as I am this book didn't give me a lot of new information, hence why I'm giving it 4 stars as I feel like I am not the target reader. Still, I would have love to have had this book as a beginner witch.

I'm new-ish to the craft and found this book very helpful. Easy to follow and easy to use. Definitely not all the same usual spells you find in most every book. A few really tailored t what I needed! Thank you so much!

Thank you to the publisher and to Net Galley for the opportunity to read this book for review. My opinions are my own.
I highly recommend this book for all that are seeking to improve on their spell casting. The author has formatted the book into sensible sequences that cover each spell in its entirety. These are all white magic spells that anyone can easily use. I especially enjoyed the historic information at the beginning of the book. As a new spell casters this is the prefect book for me and one I will refer back to to create spells. The author includes list of ingredients that are sensible and easy to assemble Very well done to the author.

This was a nice introduction to magic spells for those who are unfamiliar with it and with quite a few spells. If one wants to go more in depth, I would find some other books, but at least it's a nice beginning.

I enjoyed how concise and to-the-point this book was. If you are looking for some quick spells to cast/want to get started with spells, this book is just for you! Being a practitioner who is being reawakened to the craft, I found it to be easy-to-follow and inspiring.

This read was good for what it was. I'm not so big on the get rich quick kind of spells but the concept and execution of the book was good. It's a good book for those dabbling with spells.

Another introduction book by Skye Alexander, similar to her other book - 10-minute crystal ball. The reader is introduced to to celestial cycles, earth magic, tools and other topics. You do get some charts/lists like candle colours. Nicely put together.

10 Minute Magic Spells by Skye Alexander is a lovely little book.

It consists of 2 parts. The first is an introduction to magic and the whys and wherefores of how to do it and with what tools. The second is the spells. These are as it says simple and easy to do following the instuctions from Skye.

Having read a lot of Esoteric books in the past I really enjoued this one. It was clear and concise. The author was very helpful with further reading links thoughout. This book would suit someone who is interesting in spell casting for the first time or as a great reference for those who already know the background and want to learn a bit more.

Thanks to NetGalley and Fair Winds Press for allowing me to read this book. (All views are my own)

When you’re starting or you just want to learn about magick, it’s always amazing find someone to lean on to share their knowledge with you and make it a wonderful path. This book it’s exactly that. A companion full of information, perfectly explained, direct but concisely put down in words. I think it’s magnificent that the author took the time to start with the basics and work her way from that.

It was fun and informative, two adjectives that usually don’t get along.

“10-Minute Magic Spells” by Skye Alexander is a wonderful collection of everyday spells. Love, protection, luck, tarot, candle and crystal spells are just some of the topics the author explains in this well written book.

It was refreshing to read a book where the author starts out with the basics in spell casting and a short history on magick. She then builds up the readers confidence throughout the book , to be able to perform a variety of life enriching spells. The author also includes several examples on how to create a circle before spell casting and the tools that you will need. The spells in the book were very enlightening, and easy to conjure for beginners. There are so many different magickal topics and charts for color use in magick, types of crystals and tarot cards to use in different spells and essential oils in conjuring, that this is also a great witchy reference book for everyday life. It was a pleasure to explore all the magickal information that the author, so graciously bestowed upon the reader. #10minuteMagicSpells #NetGalley

10-Minute Magic Spells is a quick, informative read about magic. It's perfect if you are new to magic and trying to incorporate witchcraft/magic into your life. As the title states- the book is full of plenty of exercises to perform simple spells and self-care practices whether it's for love, prosperity, health and well being or for good luck. The book starts off explaining what magic is and common misconceptions such as magic is evil, false and an illusion. I was intrigued by the title and I must admit a little skeptical- however, after reading the book I feel more informed and realize that I may have actually done some magic myself- I never would have thought of baptism, communion and/or prayer as elements of magic before. An enjoyable read! Thank you to Netgalley and Quarto Publishing Group – Fair Winds Press for an ARC copy in exchange for an honest review.

This is a very interesting book. It does go more towards the beginner but is useful even to the seasoned person. First thing you need to know this is not a book of card tricks and pulling rabbits out of hats type book. This is spells not tricks. I hate to call it witch craft but for back of a better calling thats what I am going to go with.

The book is broken down into 2 parts. The first part is very important especially for the beginner. It gives you the tools you need to make the second part of this book work for you. The second part being the spells themselves. Part one is the basics of magic, how to use it and how to get the results you seek, as well as special tools used by witches and wizards. Par 2 has the spells. These spells are made to fit into a 10 minute time frame. Some spells require more tools or items then other. More planning is needed as well. Others are little more than a basic candle and a chant.

The spells in this book are white magic. There are no spells to hurt an enemy or anything like that.The spells cover love spells, prosperity, wellness, and luck mainly.

As with any book dealing with spells. You do need to take it seriously.

I received this book from the Author or Publisher via Netgalley.com and chose to leave this review.
