Fun Fact
Garrison’s voice is a refreshing blend of wit and wisdom, offering a warm, no-nonsense approach to manifestation. The integration of astrological timing with dream journaling is particularly effective, providing structure for intuitive work. However, readers seeking complex theoretical frameworks may find the advice too simplistic. It sits comfortably in the realm of practical, daily spirituality, ideal for those who prefer actionable steps over abstract philosophy.

📝 Description: The Old Girls' Book of Dreams: How to Make Your Wishes Come True Day by Day and Night by Night

Imagine a woman who's part Mae West, part Dear Abby, with a scoop of Glenda, and a large dollop of Kali energy, who tells it like Janis Joplin might. Cal Garrison is that woman, a professional witch and astrologer, who in her first book, The Old Girls' Book of Spells, invited women of a certain age to use her spells to enliven their love lives, find their car keys, and prevail at work and at home. In this sequel, Garrison invites these same women to take a few minutes a day throughout the year to conjure their own dreams and magic. In the Introduction she teaches women to put their minds on the shelf and get into their hearts, to discover their true desire and write it down. Organized by the signs of the zodiac, beginning with Capricorn and ending with Sagittarius, The Old Girls' Book of Dreams offers tidbits of wisdom, relevant stories from the author's life, and ideas about what kind of magic and energy to look for in each month. When is it time to plant the seeds? And when is it time to reap the fruit? Garrison offers twelve essays, well stories, well pages of hardwon knowledge and homespun advice. Each of these is followed by 12 blank pages. Here's where you record your dreams and begin to conjure them into reality. With more than 100 inspirational quotes, sayings, and getoffyourbuttisms to further inspire you as you are delivered dreams the whole year round.

💎 Expert review

“
💎
Esoterica Books editorial team
Occult literature desk
Garrison’s sequel succeeds as a spirited companion for women seeking to harness their inner power through astrological insight. The structure is logical and inviting, offering narrative wisdom that feels personal rather than academic. However, readers who prefer rigid technical instructions or scientific skepticism will likely find the content too vague or emotionally driven. It does not suit those looking for complex ceremonial magic or historical analysis of esoteric traditions. Instead, it targets a specific demographic ready to engage in daily, heart-centered practice. While the advice is practical and the tone warm, the reliance on intuition over empirical evidence means it will only resonate with readers already comfortable with mystical thinking and dream interpretation.

Deep and rewarding

I collect works on this subject and this is a worthy addition. The ideas are old but land with surprising force today. It reads better in small doses — a chapter at a time with notes. If you're drawn to this subject, don't hesitate.

I keep coming back to this one. The language takes some getting used to, but it becomes part of the charm. A text you study rather than simply read. Would buy from this store again.

Worth the read

This exceeded my expectations. Solid binding, decent paper — holds up to heavy use. Delivery took a bit longer than quoted. Good, with the caveats above.
