Valerie Worth fue una poeta que celebró la alegría de las palabras y el mundo de la infancia. Sus poemas, a menudo con elementos naturalistas, exploran la belleza de las cosas cotidianas y los fenómenos naturales con una excepcional perspicacia. Worth utilizó un lenguaje y un ritmo precisos para crear imágenes poéticas que resuenan en lectores de todas las edades. Sus obras invitan a la admiración y la emulación, ofreciendo a los niños un modelo de excelencia e inspirándolos a descubrir la belleza del mundo por sí mismos.
This work offers practical directions for carrying out numerous spells, charms, recipes and rituals. It teaches how to concoct herb brews for mental vigour and to strengthen passion as well as how to inscribe talismans and amulets to gain wealth, happiness or relief from pain.
A poet and student of the occult, Worth based her work on the premise that words themselves are a means to control exterior phenomena and interior changes. This is not the magic of complex ceremonies, this is magic from the heart, the magic incarnated in every woman who knows of the power within.
