Loved this book. Full of tips for creating rituals of self-care. I think it would make a great read for a book club or self-help group.
So many great ideas. I have lots of pages marked that I want to come back to and try!
Great book for ideas on how to care for yourself and your home. Some info is pretty basic, but I feel like that’s a given (tips for meditating, casting a circle, journaling, vision boards, etc.). I do like the routine to start your day, transformation spell, the planning and organization charm bag, spell to be willing to risk failure, and accepting limits spell. Embracing depression was new to me and I feel like this should get more appreciation. It should be said, however, that if you deal with chronic depression, you should talk a physician. The spell here was more for people that don’t suffer a severe illness but have occasional bouts.
The recipes sound tasty, but I haven’t tried them. Soups, a couple breads, and some basic entrees like pot roast and mac and cheese.
What I’m most excited to try are the recipes for scrubs, and bath bombs and oils. Also, the recipes for meditation teas, incenses, prayer and rose beads.
There is a chapter about spiritual self-care which, again, is refreshing to see included. This is open so that one can work with their own deities.
The idea of crafting for self-care isn’t new but has instructions for weaving, making seasonal crafts, an offering bowl, etc.
I also really enjoyed the household self-care chapter. There’s a purifying mist recipe + cleansing powder for floors. Some basics about altars and shrines, but the idea of an altar to honor yourself is cool. In this chapter there’s some aromatherapy recipes + more incense blends.
Overall, 4.5 stars!

there are some cool recipes and tips on how to integrate self love and care into one' practice. I would recommend this book for a new witch who is seeking ideas on how to integrate a budding practice into parts of their every day life. if you're not new to your practice or seeking a new form of it, you likely won't get much out of this book.

I just can’t trust white american women using sage in their rituals and suggesting others to do so.
Before anyone comes into my comments talking about the different types of sage, I’m an herbalist❤️

Felt like it was all pretty common sense stuff for someone who is already into the "woo" stuff.
