A NOTE FROM DOROTHY...
Thank you for visiting the Morrison Manor Library. I'm absolutely delighted that you've chosen to spend some time here. Since shopping is supposed to be fun - and I'd be positively mortified if your experience here was anything less than pleasant - taking a moment to read the information below will ensure your good time. ;)
Because of increased sales due to the popularity of purchasing personally autographed books here, all sales are now being handled via Pay Pal only. I'm simply not set up to handle credit cards in any other way. But what if you don't have a credit card? That's not a problem. You can easily configure your Pay Pal account to send me an e-check, and I can handle that just fine. ;)
I only ship orders within the United States and Canada. International shipment fees would probably cost you more than the cover price of the book, so I've chosen not to go there.
If you wish to purchase several books at once - or order spell kits and books together - please email me before adding them to the shopping cart. That way, you won't be overcharged for shipping, and I won't have to calculate a refund.
While products ordered from this site usually ship within 24 hours, they may
take up to 14 days to ship. Why? Because I handle all the shipping myself - and if I'm on the road
for appearances, I can't be here to handle your orders. That being the case, please check my Tour Schedule before placing your order.
With that out of the way, I hope you have an absolutey wonderful time here. (I wouldn't have it any other way!)
EVERYDAY MAGIC
(Winner of the 1999 COVR Visionary Award for Best General Interest Book)
Got a problem with your computer? Does traffic make you crazy? Are you so stressed out you don't even know your own name?
Does the search for ritual solutions for today's problems, coupled with the never-ending quest for obscure spell ingredients leave you exhausted and empty-handed? Do you ever find yourself saying, "There's got to be an easier way?"
If the answer to even one of these questions is "Yes!" your magical problems are over. This is the book for you.
In keeping with the common problems of living in the modern world, Everyday Magic updates the Ancient Arts to fit today's lifestyle. It encourages the use of modern convenience items as viable magical tools, and incorporates the use of easy-to-find spell ingredients - most of which are already in your kitchen cabinet, or can be substituted with such. A discussion of the items and forces that boost magical work is included, as well as a multitude of time-saving tips, and a large assortment of easy-to-follow recipes for creating your own oils, incenses, potions, and powders.
Boasting a collection of over 300 spells and rituals, this book addresses the everyday concerns of the modern practitioner. Subject areas not only include the age-old problems of humankind, but also cover topics like computer problems, stress management, abuse, addiction, divorce, and traffic management. Even better, each spell has been personally tested for effectiveness and performed as directed, results in successful, powerful magic.
This book will forever change your perception of the Ancient Arts, for it is truly a grimoire for today. It offers an exciting selection of opportunities to change your personal reality and live in the magically modern world you only dreamed of. Be warned, though: after reading this book, you may never again use your blender or coffee-maker in the same ways!

THE WHIMSICAL TAROT
(Illustrated by Mary Hanson-Roberts)
Childhood images. They are an important part of who we are as individuals, and we each have a collection. We dust them off once in a while and when the time is right, we take them out and play with them. Whether the mind conjures up Puss 'N Boots or Sleeping Beauty, Rumplestiltskin or Cinderella, these images stay with us forever. Often the first introduction to heroism, to right and wrong, and to how the world is designed to work, we share their stories and their lessons with our children, giving them an infinite supply of symbols to draw upon for better living.
While this rich legacy is certainly of consequence, we also owe it to our children to provide them with a firm grasp of the Higher Self. They need to know that it's a real part of them - the part that reveals who they are, where they're going, and what they can accomplish. They need to know it holds answers that can ease their lives and bring about spiritual growth. It's important they understand the wonders of that Self and learn how to access its gifts. Our children can't do that, though, unless we provide them with the necessary tools. The Whimsical Tarot is such a tool.
Based on the childhood imagery of fairy tales, nursery rhymes and common storybook characters, The Whimsical Tarot provides a fresh approach to an old system. Unlike other Tarot systems, it combines the ancient art of story-telling with humankind's fundamental goal - a connection to the Higher Power. Because the images used in this deck are familiar ones and easily retained, no memorization is necessary for efficient use of this tool. The Whimsical Tarot is also unique in that it encourages parent/child interaction, recommending reading time with the child to give them the full benefit of the system.
The accompanying book is divided into two sections, and although designed to be a parent's guide to teaching children to read the Tarot, can easily double as a beginner's guide. Part I simplifies card-reading methodology and eliminates the mysterious air that surrounds the Tarot, leaving nothing to intimidate or discourage the would-be reader. It includes tips for getting the most from the Tarot, suggestions for gaining and keeping the child's interest, interactive exercises for increasing reading skills, and age categorized layouts. Part II discusses the roles of the Major and Minor Arcana, suit symbolism and rulership values. A discussion of individual cards follow, listing the character/s displayed, the name of the associated story, card description and advice.

The winter holidays are coming - and if you're like most folks - you're starting to feel the joy of the season and the magic of anticipation that always accompanies them. But do you know how they originated? Who first celebrated them? Or that Christmas hadn't even been thought of until just a few hundred years ago?
Do you know how Santa Clause came about? Why he comes down the chimney? Or why he flies through the air with eight tiny reindeer?

Step into the kitchen and whip up a delectable holiday treat, then wander through the assortment of gift and decorating ideas to find the perfect solution to holiday woes.

THE CRAFT: A Witch's Book of Shadows
Although most of my other books have been geared toward a readership age of twenty and over, I get an exorbitant amount of mail from readers between the ages of eleven and fifteen. The contents of their letters vary, but in each and every one of them I find one common question. It is, of course, "How do I begin?" Because of the legal ramifications of teaching minors, I've always answered this question with the utmost care. I was so careful, in fact, that I all but skirted the entire issue. Of course, I was answering as a parent - a parent who knew full well that another set of parents might not wish for their children to embrace the Craft. But as much as I believed in parental rights, I also believed that all people - regardless of age, environment, or personal background - had the right to an education no matter what knowledge was involved. It's always been quite the dilemma for me, and no amount of pondering has ever made me feel any better about the situation.
At least, not until now.
That being the case, The Craft provides real information and real magical training without fear of legal ramification. Geared toward 'tweens and teens (but suitable for newcomers of any age), it offers a real book of shadows written from an eclectic point of view. Beginning with basic studies, magical theory, and training exercises, it moves forward with instructions for making/obtaining, using and working with magical tools, then builds toward Circle-casting specifics like altar setup, calling the Watchtowers, the blessing of cakes and wine, and so forth. An assortment of miscellaneous chants, spells, and invocations are included, as well as sample rituals, ideas, and recipes for celebrating the Esbats and Sabbats.

THE CRAFT COMPANION: A Witch's Journal
As I wrote The Craft, I realized that folks would need a place to record exercise notes, track study progress, and plan their spells and rituals. I thought of adding blank pages, but scrapped the idea as soon as it entered my head. The reason was simple. Since most folks absolutely refuse to write in their text books, adding pages that no one would really use was just a waste of paper.
That being the case, something else was necessary. Something entirely different. Something with lots of blank pages that simply begged to be written upon. The answer was a journaling tool of sorts - and to that end, The Craft Companion was born.
While this book can definitely be used to record exercise notes and track magical progress, its usefulness doesn't stop there. Because it contains more than a hundred spells and magical ideas, The Craft Companion goes one step further. It also provides the perfect tool for starting your very first Book of Shadows - and that's something very special, indeed.

ENCHANTMENTS OF THE HEART:
A Magical Guide to Finding the Love of Your Life
Temporarily Out Of Stock!
Love and romance. They are, without a doubt, the strongest driving forces in the human make-up. We dream of them. Hunger for them. And then we set off to search them out. Not just any old love will do, though. We set out to find the love of the century. Something timeless and perfect. Something that's able to cross all boundaries and overcome all obstacles. The same sort of something that made Cinderella and Prince Charming so appealing. All we're looking for is that forever kind of love that makes our hearts pound ninety-to-nothing and leaves us weak in the knees. Is that too much to ask?
More to the point, does it even exist?
Yes! And it's out there for everyone. The reason we don't find it, though, is because as human-beings, we're an impatient sort. We get in a hurry and we don't like to wait. So we talk ourselves into thinking that what we've found is the real thing. We settle for second best. And then we wake up one morning only to discover that Prince Charming - that gallant, handsome man who danced all night and rode the white horse - is really just a frog in disguise.
So, what do we do? How do we disentangle ourselves? More important, how do we keep future frogs from invading our lives and stealing our hearts?
Enchantments of the Heart not only answers these questions, but provides an easy-to-follow magical formula for finding the perfect love. Embroidered with spells, embellished with rituals, and tied with the ribbons of practical advice, it's all you'll ever need to find the love of your life. The one you've searched for so long. That timeless, romantic, delectable liaison guaranteed to leave you breathless, quivering, and begging for more. Yes, it's the one that squelches the most annoying sound in the world. The sound of "ribbit" in the morning!

EVERYDAY SUN MAGIC
The Sun impacts your life like no other force in the Universe. He brings the
day, wakes you in the morning, and brightens your attitude. He warms the planet,
tends to your oxygen supply, and distributes daily doses of vitamin D. But even
with all that on His plate, the Sun also finds time to bring your every magical
effort to fruition. And once you learn to harness His energies and bring them
into your life, worry over magical success will become a thing of the past. In

Starting with the Sun's cultural and religious importance on humankind through
the ages, Everyday Sun Magic sets you on a course of magical exploration where
you'll meet the five aspects of the Sun and get into sync with their energies.
You'll learn the magical importance of His seldom discussed energies - rainbows,

it's off to explore the Sun's position at your birth, the day you were born, and
how both impact your magic. Afterward, enjoy introductions to each astrological
sign, learn how they empower your life and set sail to magic, and discover how to
welcome them with fun-filled celebrations.
But that's not all. Jam-packed with over 140 modernized spells, chants,
affirmations and rituals spanning 89 categories, Everyday Sun Magic provides

UTTERLY WICKED:
Curses, Hexes & Other Unsavory Notions
(Winner of the 2008 COVR Award for Best Wiccan/Pagan Book)
Hexes, curses and other unsavory notions. Most magical practitioners won't even discuss them. Why? Because they'd much rather find a positive solution that benefits all concerned. And, there's nothing wrong with that.
Occasionally, though, our problems are such that nothing in the positive solution arena will handle them. It's time to make a decision to stand tough, be strong, and take definitive action to defend ourselves. And, if you're ready to do that-if you're ready to own that action and take responsibility for it-then Utterly Wicked is the book for you!
Jam-packed with more than one hundred rituals, incantations, hexes and curses, this book is the quintessential primer for learning all those magical tricks that no one wants to talk about. Do you know the proper way to enter a cemetery? Utterly Wicked tells you how, as well as the proper methods for collecting and using graveyard dirt. Explore the little known secrets of the 11" fashion doll and see why it's become such a valuable magical tool. Then learn to prepare Hot Foot Powder, Four Thieves Vinegar, Goofer Dust, and other magical components specifically designed to obliterate your toughest problems. Most important, though, you'll also find the tools to protect yourself, your family, and your home from ever being bothered with these sorts of difficulties again. A must have for any Witch's bookshelf!

LUCINDA'S WEB
(Winner of the 2009 COVR Award for Best Visionary Fiction Book)
Tess Logan knows magic. She knows how it works, why it works, and what it takes to make it work. But that’s not all. She also knows how to make it happen. It’s simply a part of who she is, for Tess Logan — despite all the other attributes that make her such a thoroughly modern woman — is also a thoroughly modern Witch.
No amount of magical experience or expertise, though, could have ever prepared her for this. In fact, she never even dreamed it was possible: A living, breathing set of spells cast more than a hundred years ago with enough stamina to follow her into the present day. Yet, here it is, writhing and twisting with activity, permeating every sector of her life, and slipping its tentacles into the lives of everyone she holds dear. Now, she’s faced with having to disentangle each slippery strand and destroy the magic without destroying those she loves — or herself.
You can find Lucinda's Web in your local book store, or order an autographed copy here. Please attach a note stating the name to which you'd like the book autographed.
