A Cart Full of Magic: Your Secret Supermarket Shopping List

DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK! I thought this was a neat little book too until I got to the part about burning herbs in your house using CHARCOAL BRIQUETTES!!!! This is extremely dangerous as burning this kind of charcoal releases CARBON MONOXIDE POISON! After I saw this I actually threw the book away, rather than give it away or trade it in, as I didn’t want it to getting into the hands of someone who doesn’t know better than to do this. If the author includes such trash information as this then the rest of the information can’t be much better.

Fun little book with easy to find uses for things in my cabinet or that I can easily get just down the street. She lists some tiny rituals for each item but any practicing witch can use the items however they feel based on the properties listed by the author.

I am a solitary practitioner still learning my craft. I started when I was about 13. I love still finding things that interest me. I try my hand at "Kitchen Witchery." It's all pots, pans, and pasta for me usually. So when the idea of turning the grocery store into a magical supply store; I was interested. The idea that things we put into our bodies could be magical is kind of an eye opening experience for me. This guide of the super market was written in parts. You had a wonderful introduction, then sections of the store are broken down. Magic in a cabbage? What can an Onion Really Do? What about colors and food? Magic is not all "casting spells of darkness" . This guide tries to keep it lighter, but still very informative. Next time I go to the store (Probably today) I'll have a handy guide, for not only what goes into my body, but what magic fun it can be. Clear the Aisles Magic shopper coming threw!

I read this book on my way to visit with my parents in Québec. My mom used to tell me stories about her mother and how she used to be the country doctor in the early 19th hundreds. My grandmother was a “Sage Femme”. Way before doctors came along in that remote region of Québec, she delivered babies, provided natural remedies for colds, headaches, monthly discomfort, toothaches and many more illnesses. All this changed once doctors started to establish themselves in that region and started a campaign to discredit midwives. My grandmother soon felt like this would turn into a witch hunt and abandoned her practice. Her craft was never passed on to her daughters, therefore, not to me either.When I came across this book; I was very intrigued and curious, and wanted to see if this might help me gain some of the knowledge my grandmother would have had. I am not sure if I succeeded, but I really enjoyed all the information Ileana Abrev offered in this book. I already tried one suggestion and it worked. My mother has short-term memory issues and while I was visiting with her on the weekend, she misplaced her wedding rings. I used the knotted sock suggestion and we found her rings within 15 minutes in the most unusual place. We would never think to look in that particular place to find them.If you are curious about how common items which can be found at your local supermarket can help you bring positivity in your home, chase negativity, increase passion in your love life and many more; this book is for you. This is a quick read filled with surprises.
