A magical spellbound residence is a dwelling place that is enchanted with various spells and charms, creating a mystical and otherworldly environment for its inhabitants. These residences are often found in fantasy literature and folklore, captivating the imaginations of readers and transport them into a realm of magic and wonder. The design and construction of a magical spellbound residence are unique and often defy the laws of physics. These residences may have floating staircases that lead to rooms hidden behind secret passages or doors that only open with a specific magical phrase. Walls may be adorned with portraits that come to life and interact with the residents, offering advice or assisting with tasks. The interior of a magical spellbound residence is often filled with enchanted objects and furniture.

Review Quotes

5.0 out of 5 stars - Stephanie D.

Absolutely beautiful and informative. The perfect book for beginners!

This BOS & Grimoire is absolutely stunning! It is so full of information for beginners and written in a format and natural progression of definitions, terms, and tools. After each section of information is given, blank pages are provided for your own notes or musings. I love the guidance that is provided within each section to be able to learn to use your magic! Such a fantastic quick reference book that no library should be without! This truly is a work of art!

5.0 out of 5 stars - Shelli C.

Absolutely Amazing!!

I've seen the same questions pop up in my groups over and over again, and this book answered questions that I didn't have anyone to ask. It also gave me validation to have confidence in myself. This book was amazingly done.

5.0 out of 5 stars - Kimberly R.

Great Book of Shadows to get beginners started off on the right foot.

A nice overview! I tried to learn without a guide, and it was an information overload, and I didn't know where to go next! This guide would have been extremely helpful for me as a beginner! Great informational tone. Often witches forget that there is more than one way to achieve an outcome, and the beginning makes it clear that this is a personal choice journey, and I loved how the many different paths are presented and represented. Fantastic job!

My Witchy Bookshelf- Beginning Wicca & Witchcraft Books

Welcome to the newest Inked Grimoire series- My Witchy Bookshelf. These segments feature books found on my personal witchy bookshelf (Morgan- owner of Inked Goddess Creations), that personally resonate with me, that I can honestly recommend to those interested in the subjects. The video series will be split up into subjects, with this first post about Beginning Wicca & Witchcraft Books.

I recently told the story of how I found my spiritual path in the post, Finding Myself in the Darkness. I was a teenager in a small, rural Virginia town in the 90s, and turned to a bookstore to gain the answers I needed.

I started out with Wicca: A Guide for the Solitary Practitioner by Scott Cunningham. It's a great transition book, if you are looking into wicca for the first time. It gives the basics of wicca and witchcraft, and teaches you how to practice your faith without a coven or group.

From there, I read To Ride a Silver Broomstick by Silver RavenWolf. This is the first book in a series that includes To Stir a Magick Cauldron and To Light a Sacred Flame. Silver RavenWolf is personally one of my favorite authors, and I love the thoroughness and voice of her books. These books, from start to finish, cover the basics of witchcraft and how to practice the magick deep inside of you.

Teen Witch by Silver RavenWolf is also another book I recommend for those starting out. I purchased a copy of this book for my daughter, but ended up reading it myself. Great overview of witchcraft with some cute beginner spells added in.

The last book in this series that I recommend is Grimoire for the Green Witch by Ann Moura. This book is overflowing with amazing information, spells, rituals and more. I use this book constantly for quick references, and highly recommend it as an addition to anyone's witchy bookshelf.

These are the books I personally recommend for those starting out or wanting more information on wicca or witchcraft. I do mention in the video (which is the full informational segment for this series) that I haven't purchased a beginning book in about 10 or 15 years, so this list is nowhere near an 'ultimate' list or anything. These are just books I personally recommend, that have helped me on my path over the last 20 years!

The video segment, which goes into more detail about the books, is below, and you can always subscribed to our YouTube Channel to be notified when we upload more videos in this series!

The Witching HourDemonstrating once again her gift for spellbinding storytelling, Anne Rice makes real for us a great dynasty of four centuries of witches--a family given to poetry and incest, murder and philosophy, a family that over the ages is itself haunted by a powerful, dangerous, and seductive being called Lasher who haunts the Mayfair women. LasherAt the center of this the brilliant and beautiful Rowan Mayfair, queen of the coven -- and Lasher, the darkly compelling demon whom she finds irresistible and from whose evil spell and vision she must now flee. She takes with her their terrifying and exquisite child, one of "a brood of children born knowing, able to stand and talk on the first day." Rowan's attempt to escape Lasher and his pursuit of her and their child are at the heart of this extraordinary saga, moving around the globe, backward and forward through time, and between the human and demonic worlds. TaltosAshlar is the last of his race--or so he thinks. When he learns that another Taltos has been seen, he is suddenly propelled into the haunting world of the Mayfair family, the New Orleans dynasty of witches forever besieged by ghosts, spirits, and their own dizzying powers. For Ashlar knows this powerful clan is intimately linked to the heritage of the Taltos. This mesmerizing novel takes us on a wondrous journey back through the centuries to a civilization half-human, of wholly mysterious origin, at odds with mortality and immortality, justice and guilt. It is an enchanted, hypnotic world that could only come from the imagination of Anne Rice.

About the author

Anne Rice

Anne Rice (born Howard Allen Frances O'Brien) was a best-selling American author of gothic, supernatural, historical, erotica, and later religious themed books. Best known for The Vampire Chronicles, her prevailing thematic focus is on love, death, immortality, existentialism, and the human condition. She was married to poet Stan Rice for 41 years until his death in 2002. Her books have sold nearly 100 million copies, making her one of the most widely read authors in modern history.

Anne Rice passed on December 11, 2021 due to complications from a stroke. She was eighty years old at the time of her death.

She uses the pseudonym Anne Rampling for adult-themed fiction (i.e., erotica) and A.N. Roquelaure for fiction featuring sexually explicit sado-masochism.

The interior of a magical spellbound residence is often filled with enchanted objects and furniture. Everyday items such as chairs and tables may have a mind of their own, rearranging themselves to suit the needs of the residents or even performing simple tasks like setting the table or tidying up. Fireplaces may speak and provide warm and comforting words to those nearby.

This was actually my second time through all three of these. Having just picked up "The Prince Lestat", I realized it has been a very loooong time since I read much of Rice's stuff and I'd forgotten a number of salient points. So I began backtracking. That led me to Vampire Chronicles #7: Merrick. Merrick was a Mayfair. Not from the main branch of the family, but as we learned with Mayfairs, that is seldom reason to assume ANY Mayfair lacks "gifts".

I quickly realized how interconnected all of her Vampire Chronicles and the Mayfair Witches stories are! So back I went to reread all of the Mayfair Witches series.

I'm glad I did. I picked up on much that I'd missed the first time around with both The Witching Hour and Lasher. I'm about halfway through Lasher now. If you haven't read these in the past decade or more, and you liked them the first time around, you might wish to revisit them. As with all gifted authors and great stories, what you take away from a story changes perspective at different points in your life. I'm now in my mid-fifties and I find myself empathizing more, and paying more attention, to the older characters. As a result, I'm taking away an entirely different perspective.

This is every bit as much a grand Southern Gothic novel as much as a Gothic Horror novel. I missed that the first time around when I was in my early 30s. I find myself seeing the broader canvas upon which the actions of the players are painted, not simply zooming ahead with the actions of the key participants.

It's not a set of novels I would have expected to stand the test of time, but they hold up remarkably well. I find myself pleasantly surprised and thrilled to be wrong.

The surrounding landscape of a magical spellbound residence is also enchanting. These residences are often found in secluded or hidden locations like deep forests or atop majestic mountains. Gardens may be filled with magical flowers that bloom in different colors depending on the time of day while fountains may have water that grants special abilities or induces visions when consumed. Inhabitants of a magical spellbound residence may include wizards, witches, fairies, and other magical beings. These residents are often skilled in the use of magic and may use the enchantments of the residence to further enhance their powers. They live in harmony with their spellbound abode, coexisting with the magical energies that permeate every corner. In literature, magical spellbound residences serve as important settings and often play a central role in the plot. They can be places of refuge and safety for the protagonists or hold valuable artifacts and treasures that characters must seek or protect. The residents of these residences may become allies or adversaries, offering assistance or posing challenges and tests to the main characters. Overall, a magical spellbound residence is a fascinating concept that ignites the imagination and transports us to a world where anything is possible. It is a place where magic and reality blend seamlessly, creating an enchanting and captivating environment that lingers long after the story is finished..

Reviews for "Spellbound Homes: The Ultimate Escape from Reality"

1. Elizabeth - 2 out of 5 stars - I was really disappointed with Magical Spellbound Residence. The story was predictable and full of clichés. The characters lacked depth and development, making it difficult to connect with any of them. Additionally, the writing style felt amateurish and the world-building was very poor. Overall, it was a forgettable and unenjoyable read.

2. Jonathan - 1 out of 5 stars - I couldn't even finish Magical Spellbound Residence. The plot was convoluted and confusing, with no clear direction. The dialogue was awkward and unrealistic, and the author seemed to rely heavily on stereotypes and tropes. The book was also riddled with grammatical errors and typos, which is unacceptable for a published work. I would not recommend wasting your time on this poorly written and poorly executed novel.

3. Sarah - 2 out of 5 stars - I expected so much more from Magical Spellbound Residence, but it fell flat for me. The pacing was incredibly slow, and it seemed like nothing substantial happened for the majority of the book. The magical elements were underdeveloped and inconsistent, making it hard to suspend disbelief. The characters lacked depth and were difficult to connect with. Overall, I found the book dull and unengaging.

4. Michael - 2.5 out of 5 stars - Magical Spellbound Residence had an intriguing premise, but it failed to deliver. The story lacked originality and felt like a mash-up of other popular fantasy books. The writing style was clunky and uninspiring, and I found myself losing interest quickly. The world-building was also lacking, leaving many plot holes and unanswered questions. Overall, it was a mediocre read that didn't live up to its potential.
