Blackthorn's Botanical Brews

The title of this book is deceiving. Sure, it has some “potions”, teas & libations, but many are just basic recipes.
Don't misunderstand my thoughts. I believe in spirits and spirituality. But often the author gives a recipe & then tells the reader to do things that a good therapist might suggest. Thus, I don't think it's the beverage, but the latter that would help.

The book starts with a review of meditation. What it is, how to do it and the benefits it may provide. But wait, that wasn't listed in the title and isn't any form of potion, tea or libation.

The beginning was long. Somewhere around chapter 3 potions & beverages were finally mentioned.

I liked a couple things, and if you want to learn more about absinthe, this might be a good book for you.
But some things made me laugh out loud.
For instance, would you believe you can have prosperity & abundance? Just use a jar or ceramic bowl with lid & “anoint” it with bourbon. Then put money in it every day & at the end of the the year, you'll have money! Wow, just by pouring some bourbon in a jar? No, by saving money. Just skip the bourbon & you'll have the same thing.
Another laugh out loud came when the author suggest making a gingerbread person out of paper & write the name & birthday (or other specific detail) about a person you want to banish out of your life. Then rub a piece of citrus on the paper? Or was it the one about putting the gingerbread person in a jar and pour honey on it? Don't forget to put court documents in the jar (in case it's a divorced spouse you want to banish). LOL I just can't......

My choice - any day! - pour a glass of anything I want that day (beer, wine, etc.) and think positive thoughts and just don't hang out with people you don't like. It's not always easy, but a specific beverage isn't what you need, just the courage and boldness. Don't forget to call on your spirit guides to assist.

*I didn't even get halfway, but couldn't handle any more.
I don't recommend. There are other books with much better information about spiritual potions, and beverages.
