Lost Book of Spells by Fiona Horne: Thirty Years of Spellcraft Recovered
The Lost Book of Spells is Fiona Horne's most comprehensive grimoire: more than 150 spells gathered from over three decades of practice, many of which had been circulated privately or sat unpublished until this beautifully bound hardcover edition brought them together. Horne, an Australian witch who has been practicing and writing about modern witchcraft since the 1990s, approaches spellcraft as a practical discipline rooted in natural magic, lunar timing, and energetic intention. This is not a beginner overview of Wicca: it is a working spell book from a practitioner with a long track record, organized for use rather than for theory.
Horne's background is unusual in the world of witchcraft publishing. She was the lead vocalist of the Australian electro-rock band Def FX before pivoting to write her first book, Witch: A Personal Journey, in 1998. Since then she has written more than fifteen books on modern witchcraft, appeared on television and radio internationally, trained as a commercial pilot, and conducted humanitarian aid work in Haiti and the Caribbean. That breadth of life experience shapes the scope of the spell collection: alongside traditional workings for love, money, and protection, the book includes spells addressing contemporary challenges like social media stress, environmental awareness, and mental health in high-pressure modern life.
What the Book Covers: Scope and Practical Approach
The collection covers traditional life themes including love and relationships, self-care and wellbeing, money, work, and career, alongside practical guidance on spellcasting technique, including how to approach a working with clarity and intention, how to avoid common errors that diminish effectiveness, and how to work safely without energetic backlash. Horne incorporates natural magic throughout: lunar and solar timing, working with the energies of days of the week, seasonal considerations, and the use of common herbs, candles, and ritual tools that most practitioners already have at hand.
The hardcover format and illustrated design make this a book practitioners are likely to keep long-term and return to repeatedly. At 240 pages it covers enough ground to serve both those who want a structured spell reference and those who want to understand the philosophy behind the workings. Horne's guiding principle, that genuinely effective magic shifts from asking only for personal benefit toward helping others, runs through the collection as an ethical thread.

How to Use the Lost Book of Spells
Three practical approaches to getting the most from Fiona Horne's Lost Book of Spells, from foundational reading to adapting workings for your own practice.
-
Read the Spellcasting Foundations First
Before working individual spells, read Horne's opening sections on spellcasting technique and intention. Her guidance on clarity of purpose and avoiding energetic backlash is valuable and will improve the quality of any working in the collection.
-
Work with Lunar and Solar Timing
Horne incorporates moon phase and solar timing throughout. Waxing moon favors growth, attraction, and increase; waning moon supports release and banishing. Matching your chosen spell to the correct lunar phase significantly strengthens each working.
-
Adapt Spells to Your Own Practice
Most spells use accessible tools: candles, common herbs, petition paper, and personal intention. Treat each written spell as a template and adapt ingredients and wording to match what you have on hand and what resonates with your own practice style.
The Tarot Fellow Standard
I carry the Lost Book of Spells because Horne has earned her position through decades of actual practice, a track record that shows in the quality and specificity of the workings she includes. The book sold out in its first month of publication, which reflects a real appetite for practical spellwork from a practitioner who has lived a full and complicated life, not just studied theory. The hardcover format signals that this is designed to last, and the inclusion of contemporary spells alongside traditional ones makes it genuinely useful in ways that many older grimoires are not. The ethical framing, the idea that the most effective magic serves others as much as oneself, is a perspective worth sitting with.
