Other than Dark Magic, I don't think there is anything in this book that isn't covered. There are sections on:

Visualization
Meditations
Color correspondences
Herbs
Consecrations
Essential Oils
Stones/Gems/Crystals
Animals and Totem Animals
Chakras
Flowers and their Correspondences
The Elements
The Sabbats
The Esbats
Moon Phases
... and a lot of more information.

I am very picky about what I spend my money on, but I had to have this book. It is well-rounded, and insiteful. You can read a piece here and a piece there to learn what you are looking for - but it is also interesting to read cover to cover.

My favorite blessing from this book is a book blessing used to consecrate any of your ritual and/or workbooks. Here it is:

(Page 303)

In the realm of magick this book shall reside.
No one but the chosen shall see what’s inside.
If breath be to Air as passion to Fire,
Let harm come to none, this is my desire.
If life be to Earth as Water to emotions,
This booik be filled with magical potions.
May the Gods protect it, keep it from harm,
And upon it bestow power, magick, and charm.
No one without wisdom shall peer at its pages,
Or the knowledge inside handed down through the ages.
This book be it mine, it harbors no fears.
The knowledge obtained through blood, sweat, and tears.
My magick’s my passion, the spirit’s my guide.
The love for the Goddess I hold deep inside.
The book may she bless it with spiritual light,
And let only her children read of its rite.
For those of the Wicca truly can see,
That this is my will, so mote it be.
