The Wizardology Handbook: A Course for Apprentices (Ologies) Review
Calling all aspiring wizards! Do you know the appropriate tools (including flattery) to have on hand should you encounter a Western wizard? Have you memorized the spell for summoning a unicorn familiar? Can you follow the steps for releasing magical powers in a lump of rock or piece of metal? What role do natural objects and animals play in the mysterious ways of the shaman? From charts to booklets to lessons, from fascinating stories to free-form spells to create on your own, this elaborate workbook contains all the elements needed for transforming the reader into a wizard worthy of Merlin himself. User Submitted The Wizardology Handbook: A Course for Apprentices (Ologies) ReviewsSeptember 13, 2008 Bah Humbug! For those of you who find this book offensive, you absolutely have the right to your opinions. I applaud your various faiths and beliefs, buuuuuuuuuuuuut....it is a beautiful book and is not to be taken literally. It is based on fantasy, even if those fantasies are based on real folklore. Have you read the other "ologies"; piratology, egyptology...? They are fun and educational and may not be as offensive. April 5, 2008 Another Great Ology! I bought this book for my Grandaughter who is a great Harry Potter fan and she tells me it is a great book! I have purchased several of the ologies for her and she is excited by everyone of them. They look like they are very well done and differently done.The Wizardology Handbook: A Course for Apprentices (Ologies) February 10, 2008 If you are a fan of Merlin If you are a fan of Merlin, it is for sure that you will enjoy this book. It has some magic spells, and other interesting information and data, that could be usefull, if you want to become a wizard yourself. The illustrations and presentation is great, like a collector's book. January 7, 2008 Targeted Towards Children ...........Not proper material and a starter for Wizardry and Occult. Maybe its a joke to most, (It was a joke to me as well), however as a witness I can only say 'be careful' though you probably won't listen to me which you may pass off as a 'religious nut'. Far from this........ I am glad I witnessed what I did. I hope no one has to go through this I recommend a better read so you have both sides of the story. Exorcist by Gabriel Amorth. You will not be able to put the book down and its based on facts, Deo Gratias! November 5, 2007 BAD choice FOR ANYONE!!! i wouldn't give it any stars if i could. This book is a completely horrible idea for children or adults. It has spells and other things that have the reader praying and crying out to 'spirits'. It makes the reader completely open to demonic forces. it is unsafe and utterly offense to me and many others. August 30, 2007 My review I found this book rather childish, mostly for children . I did not find it helpful. The book is beautiful to see , with beautiful pictures. I guess I am just to advanced to find it of any use. June 5, 2007 Charm a whole new generation of aspiring wizards "Those who study the art of wizardology must remember that all magic is an act of the imagination." So says the legendary Merlin in Dugald A. Steer's THE WIZARDOLOGY HANDBOOK: A Course for Apprentices. When we last heard from the Master conjuror, he had fashioned a journal --- known to magic enthusiasts as WIZARDOLOGY: The Book of the Secrets of Merlin --- from the trunk of a tree in which he'd been imprisoned, divulging centuries' worth of knowledge and insight on the mystical world, in hopes of finding his next great successor. In this companion volume, scribbled on the remaining pieces of his wooden confines, he once again extends the invitation to wizards-in-training and supplements his already abundant lessons with even more fascinating facts, humorous anecdotes and spellbinding illustrations that focus on the natural world and seasons. This enchanting and in-depth course for Wizard apprenticeship describes everything a student of magic would need to follow in Merlin's footsteps --- from dealing with genies, fairies and elves, casting spells and harnessing weather, to making wands, using magical plants and interpreting the positions of stars. Replete with a glossary of magical terms, stickers to decorate your workshop and a section for your own spells, this fantastical handbook will surely fire the imaginations of readers young and old, and charm a whole new generation of aspiring wizards worthy of the great Merlin himself. --- Reviewed by Marisa Emralino April 14, 2007 Interesting............... I am Wiccan, but I thought this book was interesting. Some of this book includes lots of real occult information like the elements and it talks of an athame, but at the same time, they have incorrect information regarding fairies, nature spirits, witches and that's only naming a few. This book would be a great gift for kids who are interested in spells or Wizardry, but not necessarily interested in real Wicca, but if you are trying to buy for a beginner Wiccan this book would only provide confusing or unhelpful. More advanced Wiccans may find this book amusing, despite the lack of correct information. All in all, this is an interesting volume and it was done quite creativley, so for that I grant it four stars.
