it has spells and ritauls for you to do by yourself with tools or without.

it has pictures to help you understand like shows you how to do the Goddess and God precision.

at the end of very section it has a "things To Do" list for little esseys for you to do.

it also covers the magickal alphabets so when you start your book of shadows or something like that no one can read it.

it covers The Witches Pyramid, reiki, tree of life, everything
