"Scott Cunningham's The Magical Household is a delightful compendium of bits and pieces of folklore gleaned from Europe, China, Hawaii, and other parts of the world. All relate to the hearth and the home. It is a potpourri of superstitions covering such delights as the positioning of furniture, turning of rugs, opening doors, gazing into fireplaces and protecting with garlic. The chapter on the Inner Garden is especially good. I was delighted to see Scott address the person who feels they are suffering under an unwarranted curse. A more complete covering of 'a magical household' would be hard to imagine." -- Ray Bucklan d Practical Candleburning Rituals The Magical Household clearly explains how to set up a household altar, the meaning of the hearth fire, and how and why to set up a household for the personal practice of magic. It is very clearly written, without a lot of extraneous foolishness, and will not offend the intelligence or sensibility of any New Age person. A very fine book." -- Marion Zimmer, Bradley The Mists of Avalon Scott Cunningham's The Magical Household is a must for every house. What a delightful, interesting book!" -- men's Book
