Asked by CuriousRaven27
I'm intrigued by the concept of baneful magic but I find it a bit too dark and intense for my personal practice. I'd like to learn more about it, though! I plan to do my own research, but I'm also reaching out for any book recommendations that might help me understand this topic better.

If you're interested in examples of baneful spells, you should look into Judika Illes' "Encyclopedia of 5000 Spells." There's a wealth of information there that can give you some insight.

Yeah, "Utterly Wicked" gets mentioned a lot! It seems to be a go-to for those curious about the dark arts.

I recommend checking out "Of Blood and Bones." It’s a solid addition to any library focusing on darker aspects of magic. You might also want to look at the resources provided in various witchcraft communities for additional recommendations.

I have a list I'm working on but it’s not organized yet. I refer to these for various topics, though I don’t have a specific breakdown yet. I plan on writing reviews someday!

"Utterly Wicked" by Dorothy Morrison is a great read! Even if you're not planning to practice baneful magic, it's good to understand it so you can recognize and counter it effectively.
