An excellent book that puts a spell over its reader from start to finish. --BioGamer Girl The perfect book for our times... It's not going to tell you how to turn invisible, or use positive thinking to bring yourself everything you ever want in life. What Saxena and Zimmerman created is a fun, thoughtful, and sometimes very funny way to use rituals to take care of yourself, to create reminders of the way you want to move through the world... Magic, indeed. --Tor.com A modern take on mysticism for the Rookie set. --Sanctuary A handy guide to boosting self-confidence and reaching positive outcomes. --Publishers Weekly, starred review An excellent book that puts a spell over its reader from start to finish. --BioGamer Girl Jaya Saxena and Jess Zimmerman's magical lifestyle guide is an uplifting and transformative must-read for anyone--witch or otherwise--in need of spiritual enlightenment. --Signature Reads A handy guide to boosting self-confidence and reaching positive outcomes. --Publishers Weekly, starred review An excellent book that puts a spell over its reader from start to finish. --BioGamer Girl
