Bewitched: Titania's Book of Love Spells

October 1997

"Martha Stewart for witches." — Birmingham Post-Herald

"Titania Hardie's cookbook of spells for conjuring love and romance is intended to ignite sparks and revive passion while soothing the senses." — Self magazine

Around Halloween, the brewing season can be sensed in the cold October evening air. But among the images of the witches with their big hats, black cats, and flying broomsticks, there are also white witches. A third-generation white witch, Titania Hardie shares a vast knowledge that has been passed down to her by relatives in the recently published Bewitched, which Spirit Magazine includes in its list of "50 of the Best New Titles" of the year. In this book she brings forward her training in parapsychology, exploring the connections between nature and well-being and the healing effects of color.

In her first book, the highly acclaimed Hocus Pocus, and in Bewitched, Hardie focuses on the heart, offering a collection of spells that conjure up both love and romance, spells of the heart, mind, and "wish power." Her incredibly vast knowledge of herbalism punctuates the six spell-filled chapters.

The first chapter is dedicated to those who are looking for love, to anyone who feels that the night sky of love is without one special star. The second chapter, "Two's Company," focuses on the spells that help move flirtations into the realm of reality; the Moonlight Basil spell, for example, works on a love affair that has already begun but needs a little help because it appears that the relationship is going nowhere. In the third chapter, "Three's a Crowd," Hardie helps resolve difficulties a third party may cause a couple. Her spell Bite the Dust can be used if your loved one shows every sign of being happy with you but is having a difficult time letting go of a past relationship. You can only imagine what wisdom Hardie shares in the recipe-filled pages of the "Marriage Bed" section.

"Potent with Passion" and "Happy Ever After" conclude this unique book, with spells that conjure up passion in both long-term relationships and new romances; a list of the "Top Ten Aphrodisiacs" in the world of white witchcraft appears among numerous authentic recipes and instructions for those who believe. Hardie, who insists that witchcraft should never be used to harm or affect the will of another person, has provided in Bewitched a fascinating look at a carefully preserved tradition.
