The Spellcasting Picture Book: Visual Tools for Grown-up Magic 2nd edition

The Spellcasting Picture Book: Visual Tools for Grown-up Magic 2nd edition Review



A free-spirited visual guide of practical spells for magical living.

What do stick figures, finger paint, markers and giggling have to do with witchcraft?

Everything.

Magic empowers. It enlightens. It teaches. It gives us new ways to connect to the divine, a sense of something we can do about the things in life we’re told we can do nothing about, and thanks to the likes of Joss Whedon and scores of fantasy writers, the idea that witchcraft is pretty badass.

It’s also… fun.

The Spellcasting Picture Book sets itself squarely in the middle of the real taboo within witchcraft: the idea that the craft itself, the magic itself speaks to our playful selves. The business of witchcraft is still quite serious – but that’s exactly why, when getting your witch on, it’s important to have fun with it.

The magic is serious. A healthy, happy life – the end goal of all magical practice – is anything but.

This collection of primitive drawings comes from author Diana Rajchel’s own sense of play and inner work. A culmination of spells and teachings, this spell book offers the visual lift-off to elevate your own creative, magical work.
