It was when I bought another book at the thriftstore - purely for nostalgic reasons, that my better half and I talked about books from our early years. This must have been his favorite(?) He talked about "Noidan Käsikirja" with such passion, that I decided to find myself a copy. And what have I caused??? A great number of my (Finnish) friends went bonkers! How popular this book was back then, I had no idea: I grew up in Belgium and didn't have any knowledge this book even existed! But here, show more in Finland, it must have made quite an impact on one's late childhood/early teenage years!
Having finally read this book, I can say I might not be as sentimental as my friends, but I defintely share their excitement! I'm sure if I had read it when they did, I would have had a bad time sleeping - especially with the parts on vampires and ghosts! LOL

An old school book about Witchcraft... It’s very true of the coming of Wicca at the time, but pretty hazy about the deeper side of spirituality. A goofy book by far. Still, worth a chuckle.
Kirjastojen lastenosastojen legendaarinen kummajainen, joka on jättänyt lukemattomia sen lukemaan erehtyneitä lapsukaisia traumojensa arpeuttamiksi. Silti ehkä nostalgisin kirja koskaan ja äärimmäisen hienosti kuvitettu.
