"With the publication of Practical Candleburning Rituals, Dr. Buckland, for the first time, brought candle magic up from a 19th century muddle to a clear and concise, modern pagan book on "how to do it." He carefully distilled the essentials from a wide variety of folk spells gathered the world over and added the results of his own in-depth magical and anthropological researches. The result was excellent... Ever since its initial publication, Practical Candleburning Rituals has been the first book that one consults, and the standard against which all others must be judged. This book was the first of its kind... In my mind, it is still the very best." -- Ed Fitch, Magical Rites From the Crystal Well I've had this book on my shelf for years. It's a real cornerstone." -- Marion Zimmer, Bradley Mists of Avalon Ray Buckland's Practical Candleburning Rituals is as well researched and authoritative as his numerous other works.
