'An Enchanted Introduction for Casual Clairvoyants and Weekend Witches.'
This takes me back to my teenage years, when I was mystical-and-astrology-curious. Starry-eyed.
Everything in 'Practical Magic: A Beginner's Guide to Crystals, Horoscopes, Psychics, and Spells' is exactly what it says on the tin. It is brief and simple in informing each topic, but the writing treats its readers like adults. It spoke to me on a profound, nostalgic, and, strangely enough, grounded level.
For anyone who might be at least a little curious about magic, energy, chakras, auras, crystals, herbs, tarot cards, pagan holidays, astrology, horoscopes, dreams, lucid dreaming, and palmistry; the book validates it. It is about focus, meditation, believing, healing, and finding your true self; and finding a healthy balance in your life - in mind and body - over many things. Love most of all.
For a starting point, 'Practical Magic' is mature, yet personal enough to keep the reader engaged. Very interesting stuff. A tiny but beautiful treasure, full of lovely discoveries. I might buy a tarot card deck or two after reading this.
It doesn't cover everything to do with witchcraft or mystical forces, of course; there is no list of gods and goddesses to idealize or invoke. It is not entirely a universal experience. It could have better explained what smudge sticks/wands are, too, among other details. But there are always some new things that even experienced and well-versed witches or witch experts can find out in different books, and 'Practical Magic' is no exception.
The refined mystique, that is this witch book.
Nice illustrations, as well.
A positive and honest review that reaches out to different people, so mote it be.
Blessed be.
Final Score: 4.5/5
