The organization of the book was also poor, making it difficult to navigate and find specific information. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this book to anyone looking for a comprehensive guide to candle magic.
2. Mark - 1 star - I regret purchasing "The Big Book of Candle Magic".

The book lacked depth and failed to deliver on its promise of being a definitive guide to candle magic. I found it to be a waste of time and money.
