The Comfy Cozy Witch’s Guide to Making Magic in Your Everyday Life

Comfy Cozy Witch podcaster Blonde (Hearth and Home Witchcraft) showcases her “laidback and nonjudgmental approach to witchcraft” in this cheerful guide. Eschewing formal rites in favor of a mix of self-care, meditation, and occult practices, Blond provides reflective journal prompts to help novices get started (“What would an ideal magical practice look like for me?”). Elsewhere, she shows readers how to experiment with divination, and encourages them to practice self-love by keeping a piece rose quartz on their bathroom counter or doing yoga while repeating encouraging mantras. Blonde’s upbeat tone reinforces the message that a witchcraft practice should draw out the existing “joy and delight in our lives,” and her nonprescriptive approach empowers practitioners to make modifications as needed (“The magic is in the power of your words, so make them yours,” she assures readers in a section on spell-writing). This inviting, upbeat primer makes magic manageable. (Sept.)
