I absolutely LOVE this book. It's great if you're interested in magic, but it's really for people who love the sound of WORDS. The evening I received it, I sat on the porch swing to look through it. A half hour later, I discovered that I had been sitting for 30 minutes reading and laughing out loud. There are words and phrases from Ancient Greece to spells from the tv show Bewitched! (The yaga zoozie spell was my all-time favorite; it's in the book.) I keep it in my fifth grade class, and use magic phrases as a signal to get to work! I need another copy for home. I also ADORE the literary references. This is a brilliant book for magicians and logophiles!

5 stars.  "Whether it be mage or sage, philology or philosophy, Craig Conley's Hexopedia is an splendid source for the young scholar beginning an interest in the intricacies of the language arts or the aspiring practitioner attracted to the allure of the magic arts, and a recommended reference for the most eclectic collection of sorcerer and student alike. Hexopedia is an excellent example of the dynamic of the power of language through spells, spelling, speech and sound interacting with thought-provoking imagery to intrigue the imagination, mystify the mind, and guarantee to make this wonderful work one to re-read." —Joshua Sprouse
