A Straightforward Reference Book... July 18, 2002 24 out of 26 found this review helpful
This book is a guide explaining how the Psalms can be utilized for daily prayer. There is a brief historical survey of the Psalms as an introduction. The book then gives two lists of various intentions that one can use relative to a particular Psalm. For example, to pray for health, prayerfully recite Psalms 39 or 41. Such suggestions appear in the front of the book, and a lengthier list of different suggestions is in the back. Also in the back of the book is a small collection of poems and prayers for good intentions. And, of course, all of the Psalms are in the book, as they are written in the King James version of the Bible. It's a nice little prayer reference. There is one additional point to be made about the book. There are suggestions of using physical mediums to enhance prayer, such as different-colored candles and ritual oils for some of the devotions. This may seem unusual to some (I don't use them) but I still think that using only the prayers as spriritual practice is a good thing using this book.
It worked for me September 20, 2004 14 out of 15 found this review helpful
this is my first book by the author so I don't have a negative bias, I tried the prayers and they worked for me right away, that's why I gave it five stars, it's a practical book so don't expect much, the stuff I tried did work so if you like to work with Psalms I don't think you'll be dissapointed with this one, get Oribello's book too !
A mediocre piece of work! June 21, 2003 6 out of 20 found this review helpful
One of the few Anna Riva books that I own, this one actually does contain some useful knowledge and instruction. (There is also a lot of garbage too.....just have to sort it out!) I am ambivilent about recommending it.....buy it or don't....either way, you are not missing much!
well... May 16, 2005 6 out of 12 found this review helpful
I bought this book because I was interested in using the Psalms with my work but I have to say I was a bit dissapointed. I did like the uses given and the suggestins of candle colors to burn with the Psalms but I did not like that the King James Bible was used for this book. The King James Bible is probably the worst translation out there. I decided to use the working related to each psalm in this book in conjunction with the Catholic Living Bible. The Catholic bible is far superior and much more powerfull for use as a conjure book.
Minimalist and Outdated March 2, 2006 5 out of 22 found this review helpful
I was very disappointed with this little publication. For one thing, the purposes for reciting each psalm is categorized differently in the table of contents, in the body of the book, and in the index at the back...and they are conflicting of one another. Secondly, only some of the psalms are listed with a specific candle/oil to meditate with and others are not. I own 2 different versions of the bible and if all I wanted was the script itself I would have just consulted one of those. One final thing that disturbed me was finding out that the author has also written books on the occult and witchcraft. You are either a worshipper of God, or a student of Wicca...sorry, the 2 do not mix.
