📝 Description: Daily Magic: Spells and Rituals for Making the Whole Year Magical

A year-long collection of spells and rituals for harnessing the magical power of each day from the author of the Encyclopedia of 5000 Spells. We all could use a little magic in our daily lives. But while the year is filled with mystical dates, we don't always know when and how to celebrate them. By knowing and preparing for these special days we can use their inherent power to change our lives. Daily Magic is a perpetual calendar focused on days of spiritual and magical significance. April 30th for example, is perfect for spellcasting--especially spells for love, romance, fertility, and prosperity. Judika Illes teaches you how to create rituals and cast spells, provides recipes for potions, and offers advice on creating feasts to honor sacred beings. While the most spiritually significant power dates of the year are Midsummer's Eve, Halloween/Samhain, and New Year's, opportunities to use rituals and spells for the most popular goals--love, prosperity, fertility, healing, and protection--occur every week. Illes offers guidance on when to perform a spell--whether it's best to conjure now or to wait for a special power date later in the year. Daily Magic is a spiritual daily calendar that give us the power and the tools we need to take control of our destiny! Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.

📔 Questions to reflect on

  1. Reflect on a recent ordinary day. How might you have infused a simple action, like making tea or walking outside, with magical intention?
  2. Identify a personal goal you wish to manifest. According to the book's principles, what upcoming 'power date' or daily energy might best support its realization?
  3. Consider the act of ritual. Beyond specific spells, how can incorporating mindful, repetitive actions into your routine elevate your spiritual connection?
