Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I was excited when I found this book, as I'm doing research on witchcraft and also have a pet fondness for the study of attraction. But unfortunately it was a let down - first of all, it has nothing to do with either witchcraft or Satanism, really. It's just another ole-fashioned "how to catch a man" book. It reads a bit like "The Sensuous Woman", if The Sensuous Woman were written by a dirty old man (A better title might be "A Poorly Edited List of Things That Turn Anton LeVay On." Which is not to say all of the advice is inaccurate, it's just not exactly groundbreaking. A "witch" in the context of this book (the vast majority of it, anyway) is just a woman who uses cunning and feminine wiles to manipulate a man. The author's underlying theory is also deeply flawed. He divides people up along a "clock" by things like personality type and physical appearance. If he'd limited his scale to personality and dominance, perhaps it would have worked out, but as it is, his logic would dictate that: - two slender people would never desire each other - a man with a masculine, muscular, inverted-triangle type figure would never be sexually submissive - a "teddy bear" type man would never desire a big-breasted "Playboy Model" type - who in turn, would only be interested in men who fell somewhere between "stick thin" and "pear-shaped & womanly" - an overweight person would never be an intellectual. A rail-thin person would never be a social butterfly. - all people with the same body type like the same foods, listen to the same music, drive the same cars, choose the same musical instruments.... ... I could go on. Perhaps the most egregious flaw is his insistence that men are attracted to the smell of women's menstrual blood, because a woman's period is analogous to an animal's estrus cycle. This is just so completely incorrect. Animals go into estrus when they are fertile - the homologous occurrence being women's ovulation (which is far more hidden but still bears certain hold-overs from "estrus", such as slight swelling and increased blood flow to the genitals.) There are peer reviewed studies showing that women are more appealing during ovulation and LEAST appealing during menstruation, and at least some of that is almost certainly scent-based. The author recommends women make little "scent amulets" out of their period blood, and don't you worry if YOU think it smells bed, men will go wild! Yeeeeeeah no. If anything, you would want to do this with your middle-of-the-month fertile-time fluids. In fact, I can save you a few bucks and sum up the bulk of his advice right now: dress like a prostitute, but wear dirty granny panties that you accidentally-on-purpose flash at people. If you want a book about witchcraft, there are tons of better options. If you want a book about attraction, try Arden Leigh's work. If you're interested in manipulation, try one of the many books about persuasion. This book is amusing but garbage.
