“I have so much LOVE for The Complete Book of Moon Spells. With wit, wisdom and lots of glamour, Michael Herkes, takes us on an adventure through the phases of the moon. The beauty of this primer on lunar magic is how accessible the information is for novice witches, and still there are plenty of dazzling treasures for the seasoned practitioner. Within The Complete Book of Moon Spells,Herkes shares his occult expertise, mixed with heartfelt advice, science, history and moonlore. As your guide Herkes skillfully provides a formula for working magic with the moon, but more importantly, how to live a more empowered life. One important distinction Herkes makes is defining abundance as more than just material things, rather he shares how an abundant life is a holistic existence where body, mind and spirit align to create a more beautiful world within and without. Part Two of the book is the pièce de résistance. Unlike most books on moon magic, Herkes focuses on the eight phases of the moon to create more nuanced and focused life changes. You’ll discover a plethora of spells and enchantments to utilize specific moon phases, such as, Slaying the Psychic Vampiresand Molting Spell: Shed Your Old Skin, found in the Waning Crescent Moon chapter. Much like Herkes, my journey with the moon began as a natural intrigue. The moon has a way of singing light into our bones and awakening something deep, ancient and innate within. Many a witch, dreamer, visionary and fringe dweller have been initiated by her light. If you feel that call to awaken your magic… then this book is for you!” —Shaheen Miro, author of the Lunar Nomad Oracle, Lunar Alchemy and the Uncommon Tarot
“This is the modern book of moon magic I’ve been waiting for! Michael Herkes perfectly pairs iconic acts of magic like drawing down the moon and lunar baths with glamorous new spells and potions for the modern witch. The Complete Book of Moon Spells will not only make you see all the phases of the moon in a new light but will show you how to shine that light on yourself. It’s exciting, empowering, and truly enchanting. —Paige Vanderbeck, host of The Fat Feminist Witch Podcast and author of Green Witchcraft and The Grimoire Journal
