Summary: Well, The Financial Advice Isn't Bad
Comment: My main interest in any Wiccan or Occult volume is its ideology, its link to the spiritual. I generally don't like books of spells that read like recipe books. But the Frosts go a step FURTHER....this book is much less about Wicca than it is advice on how to live life practically. Despite its seeming "for beginners" aura, this book kind of assumes the reader has already figured out how to channel his own supernatural powers so the Frosts can tell him what to do with them. Nowhere is there an explanation of where these powers might come from. This lends the book an air of complete unbelievability to the uninitiated--hardly the impression you'd want to make on someone just starting to discover their spiritual power. Nevertheless, to divorce oneself completely from the book's ideology, there are practical pearls of wisdom and insightful real-world meditations on saving and making money (mind you, there are also lots of silly meditations...).

Summary: Dispel some myths
Comment: At least the Frosts don't need to steal other authors' ideas in order to have a book, or two or three, published. This is one of those books that a reader truly must read for the self, even if one only gets the book from interlibrary loan, before trashing the authors or their ideas.
There is a lot of anger out there, directed at the Frosts, based on gossip and lies. Getting to know them or their writings for yourself will help you understand just how significant their contributions are to Wicca and the Wiccan movement.

Summary: I did not get why so many people disliked the book, until...
Comment: I read the online reviews of this book about half way through it, and I honestly had no idea why so many people disliked the book. I was really enjoying it, and I was fully prepared to come online and give it 5 stars.
Now that I have finished the book though, I have had to reconsider my original plan.
Yes, the book is very good. I really enjoyed the first 200 pages or so. With short chapters on a vairety of topics such as spells, energy work, psychic healing, manifesting what you want in life, etc. the book reminded me of a 'new age' version of some of the popular self-help titles that are currently popular (power of your subconscious mind - Murphy; and Wayne Dyer titles come to mind).
However, I was completely unprepared for the last chapter, where wife-swapping as an act of spiritual salvation is espoused. This ideology was too much of a stretch for me, and it definately tainted my impression of the book.
In all, I would recommend this book, and I did enjoy reading most of it, but I would want to caution conservative readers that they may want to avoid reading the last part of the book.
