'House Magic' was a great informative reference novel that far exceeded my expectations. It didn’t feel like a textbook nor an instruction manual (Example: Step one: Grab white sage) because for all of that, I would much rather use Google. This featured well collected data on how to transform any space into a sacred sanctuary using the power of crystals, herbs, flowers, cleansing, energy, spellwork, zodiacs, household deities, etc. Additionally, the author included clear explanations and the meanings behind all items used.

The only downside—I had to read this on the Netgalley app which I absolutely hated and I am not a fan of because the PDF file refused to work on any other of my other Kindle apps/devices. It prevented me from being able to highlight key pieces that I wanted to reference/further look into in the future. Screenshots just don’t do it for me but nonetheless, I will corporate many key components of this reference piece for years to come.

Goddess Magic by Aurora Kane
A Handbook of Spells, Charms, and Potions Divine in Origin

Drawing down the moon is something I have done to take in the Goddess but have never done this with a specific goddess in mind, invoked or evoked. This book feels like an introduction with a bit about many goddesses, their powers and offerings they might like. The book suggests researching the goddesses in this book, finding a few that will enhance your life or magic working, incorporating intention, setting up an altar, believing, taking into consideration doing no harm, being patient as you listen and wait, and then being thankful. As mentioned, this feels introductory in nature and a good place to begin as one explores the realm of goddesses, how to know them better, incorporate them in one’s life and magic working.
