Llewellyn's Complete Book of Correspondences is a clear, straightforward companion for Pagan and Wiccan ritual and spellwork. Entries are cross-referenced, indexed, and organized by categories and subcategories, making it easy to find what you need. 
This comprehensive reference provides a fascinating look at why correspondences are more than just lists of objects to focus intent on--they are fundamental to how we think. When we use correspondences, we weave together our ideas, beliefs, and energy, creating deeper meaning in our rituals and spellwork as we unite our individuality with a larger purpose.
The use of correspondences embodies both physical and symbolic energy and provides the means for uniting the seen and unseen worlds. Packed with content yet easy to use, Llewellyn's Complete Book of Correspondences covers traditional correspondences and also provides instruction for forging new ones that hold special meaning for you.

Hey all! Today I have a review for you! This one is on a massive tome of correspondence that any Pagan or Witch will find helpful!

Like the blurb from Goodreads states, this has a TON of correspondence - look at that list up above! I find that the one that I refer to the most is the plant section. It's broken down into Trees, Herb & Garden, Misc. Plants (spices, over the counter medicines etc.)

It's absolutely amazing, and while I haven't read every single entry in detail I have no doubt that should the need arise I'll be able to find whatever I need very quickly! The animal section is amazingly thorough and even includes mythical animals from classical civilizations as well as Celtic and Native American mythology.

I have no doubt that every type of Pagan and witch will find something that has been cross-referenced in this book that will help make their path a lot easier. While I have an ebook version, I really think that having a hardcopy will make finding correspondence even faster, but that just might be me being technologically unadvanced.

Another part I really like is the cheat sheet right in the beginning - it lists out an intention and a quick guide to what falls under that heading!

Excerpt (Example)

Whew! Isn't that something - there are tons of these, which takes up the first half of the book and I just can't even imagine how much work that must have been to compile all of this information. I really think that this section alone is worth having, if you're someone who does a lot of spellwork. 

Do you have a need for such a thorough book? Do you do a lot of spellwork? I'd love to hear from you!

I did receive this for free from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
