Everyday Magic – Book Review

Did you ever wish you could use magic? Magic for good purposes and for healing offers a new avenue of self care in our chaotic world. Here is a book to help guide your magical journey. 

Everyday Magic – Rituals, Spells & Potions to Live Your Best Life by Semra Haksever. 

This well written book is an introduction to simple magic and rituals that are useful in everyday situations. The tools are a guide for helping with self-love, protecting energy and leading your best fulfilled life. 

In reading this book, I found it very uplifting. There is no negative energy present in the words or the spells inside. The history of magic explains aspects of Witchery in a positive way. The book is broken down into two parts with the first being an instructive shopping list of products used in the practice. It explains what you need and how to build the magical components. Most of the items are common or can be purchased from metaphysical stores online. Several charts are included with the directions for using them. A great section on pendulum use really caught my attention. I have a pendulum and now have a better understanding of the power in using one. Another important aspect of Everyday Magic is when to perform a spell or ritual. Being aware of the astrological and moon phases is critical in a magic practice. 

The second part of the book contains the spells & potions. Spells for love, courage, anti-anxiety, money and prosperity plus more are included. One of my favorites is the Fast Luck Spell. A few herbs and essential oil plus a candle is needed for the spell. The ritual instructions are easy to understand and simple to follow. 

Everyday Magic is a positive book! I enjoyed reading the spells and someday hope to try those needed. It does take devotion to the practice and quite a few supplies such as oils, herbs, crystals and more. Each spell or potion, is explained thoroughly in easy to understand wording. The book contains a few illustrations. 

Looking for change or positive energy? Check out Everyday Magic by Semra Haksever.  You can find more information at Mama Moon Candles. 

Crystal Healing and Sacred Pleasure

Engage the chakras as a road map for self-discovery, harness the power of crystals, and practice self-love through erotic spirituality with Crystal Healing and Sacred Pleasure. 

Whether you’re new to crystals or experienced with crystal healing, Crystal Healing and Sacred Pleasure offers the essential information and techniques you need to get your energy flowing freely again.

The flow of energy through our chakras (the energy centers of our bodies) is essential to our fundamental well-being and our ability to experience our lives fully. When chakras get blocked, the natural flow of energy is hindered, and we experience disconnection from our physical bodies. Crystal healing can release blockages and bring necessary attention to our whole being, while helping to heal physical or emotional trauma.

Crystals have been used for centuries as a way to release and harmonize energy. Each crystal has its own unique qualities that are suited to specific kinds of blockages. When used properly, crystals can have a powerful and positive effect on our lives.

This book features:

• A clear introduction to the body’s chakra system
• Guidance for determining if a chakra is blocked
• Essential information on crystals and how they work
• Specific techniques and practices for using crystals to embrace self-love and achieve greater intimacy and pleasure
• A comprehensive chart linking crystals to their chakras; zodiac elements; color energies; and physical, emotional, and spiritual benefits
• An annotated reading list of books, blogs, and websites to support you as you continue on the path of crystal healing

Embrace the healing power of crystals and open yourself to greater well-being, intimacy, and sensual pleasure. 

My Thoughts

This amazing books is filled with spiritual and physical ways to use your crystals for healing, self-love, and pleasure. One of my favorite sections of the book was on the energy orgasm. This comes in the form of an emotional release that might be the pure joy of laughter or cleansing tears. However it occurs, it is a freeing and magical experience. In addition to all the knowledge you gain about spells and your own body, you will also take something away from the beautiful imagery within the pages. As as single mom, I don't often give myself the me-time I deserve. This book is giving me the tools I need for self-healing so that I can recharge and take on all that life throws at me.

I took so much away from this book. There are different ways to work with all your chakras, and unique ideas on how to use crystals and oils for healing. There are also great ideas on how to achieve pleasure that have nothing to do with sex. There is more than one way to treat your body to a self-love experience, and many of these techniques could carry over to your relationship to help you grow closer in ways you never imagined. This is an amazing book, and I am thrilled to have added it to my library.

My Thoughts

This is a really great book with lots of fun ways to help you find and keep love in your life.This detailed spell book gives you all the tools you'll need to bring love to your life in all its forms. The book starts out with the basics, including an explanation of common tools and instructions on how to cast a circle. As you move forward, you'll find spells for just about any situation. There are spells to help you find new love, spice up an existing relationship, and even to grow meaningful friendships. Each one gives you explicit instructions, and if tools are involved, they are easy to locate and affordable.

Personally, I am very cautious about love spells since it's wrong to try to manipulate another person's feelings. Luckily, this book follows the rule of three, and all of their suggestions are written in a way that won't have karma coming back to bite you. I also liked that not everything was about romantic love, since love encompasses so much more. There are spells to help you get overcome shyness, to help heal heartbreak, and even to increase vitality. There is definitely something for everyone, whether you have an significant other already, are looking for new love, or just want to embrace self-love. This book is a great addition to any magical library.

Our Thoughts

I've been looking for a spell book that has numerous spells for this and that; just something that was a hodge-podge. I like reading new spells and finding new ones that are right in line with my intentions. This book offers spells from preventing accidents to making the world a safer place in the 366 pages. 

The book itself is thick but small enough to fit into a ritual bag or box without taking up much space. The covering of the book is nice and sturdy so that while in a ritual bag or being carried around, there will not be any pages or covers crumpling. I give this book five stars.

If you're looking for a good spell book that gives you lots of options, you need to check this book out. You can go order it on Amazon. 

Celebrate Imbolc with a Creativity Spell & A Copy of Brigid's Flame!

 Blurb

The wheel of the year turns, bringing the joy of spring, the warmth of summer, the richness of autumn, and the merriment of winter. But eight Celtic festivals link these seasons together, bringing with them romance, lust, danger, and even magic. From a city under threat from night-time creatures at Ostara, to a selkie caught by the light of the Lughnasadh moon, to a writer caught in the flames of a fiery goddess at Imbolc.

Eight authors have come together to give their own twist on these festivals, weaving each story with a blend of myth, magic, and contemporary telling…to create A Celtic Tapestry.

In Brigid's Flame, a struggling writer finds inspiration in the arms of the Goddess Brigid on Imbolc night. Check out this story and the whole series of tales inspired by the Celtic Festivals.

A Spell for Creativity  

 

Brigid’s Flame is my contribution to the anthology and it was inspired by my patron goddess, Brigid. She is the goddess of poetry, smith craft and childbirth.  In my story, a struggling writer invokes Brigid on the sacred night of Imbolc to help rekindle his creativity with her eternal flame.  The chant my hero uses in one I wrote myself and have used many times to help overcome writer's block.

“Brigid, I call you on this sacred night.

I summon your flame. I invoke your might.

The words will come. My mind will soar.

My strength and confidence will endure.

Goddess Brigid, fill me with creativity.

As I will it, so mote it be.”

There is a simple spell anyone can use along with the chant to help bring some inspiration into their lives.  All you need is a candle (preferably orange or yellow, but white can also be used), a bowl, and a few ice cubes. If available, snow or icicles would be even better.  Set the items up on your altar or some other space where you have privacy. Place the ice cubes or snow into the bowl and light your candle.  Stare into the flame and focus of what you are trying to accomplish. Imagine that the ice is your creativity. Right now it’s frozen and blocked.  Now see that flame warming the ice, melting away those blocks. Continue this visualization as you chant the spell.  Once the ice has melted, drink the water. This is your creativity flowing freely back into you.
