another one of Arin’s books that i absolutely love (although i do love all of the ones i’ve read). i think this book is really cute and the first one i’ve seen of it’s kind. i’d really love to see more in depth workings for self care for more experienced practitioners but this book is great for everyone including the extreme novice

The author does a good job of taking into account various schedules, incomes, and walks of life, and provides an array of activities that can be adapted to the individual.

Although she comes at the spirituality and ritual from the same place I am (Urban Wicca-lite), it's too pretty and sweet. The crafts are meh. Although others are freaking out about the "embrace your depression" ritual, I took it to mean for someone with low-grade depression, not chronic depression like what I suffer. So I just put it aside and moved on. Too fru-fru for me.

As someone who already does a lot of self care and has experience with spell work, some parts of this book were a bit redundant for me.

However there were some really nice ideas for spells and crafts I will be using and I really loved how the author stressed the importance of self care.

Having enjoyed her Green Witch book, I wasn't surprised I enjoyed this one too!
