Hey there! How are you today, pornies? I just finished reading an amazing book that helped me come into terms with many of my demons, insecurities and fears. A book about something we often forget to focus on and to give importance to. Today I’m talking about Walking in Beauty: Using the Magick of the Pentacle to Bring Harmony to Your Life, by Phoenix LeFae. Thanks to the publisher for sending me an ARC of this book!

A Must-Have Guide to Embracing the Magnificence in Yourself and the World.Using the pentacle as a magickal framework, this exhilarating book presents techniques and exercises that help you manifest joy, discover your inner and outer beauty, recognize blessings, and bring balance to your life. Phoenix LeFae presents a revolutionary approach based on the pentacle and the five points of beauty, devotion, desire, creativity, and expression.
Walking in Beauty awakens you to the splendor of the world; it is both a meditation tool and a key to greater awareness. Through exercises, rituals, affirmations, and guerilla acts of kindness, this excellent guide shows you how to run the energy of the pentacle through your body and clear any blocks that keep you from living a fully engaged and beautiful life.
At first I was doubtful about asking for this book because, I thought, there are more important matters right now in the world. Who needs to be pretty when so much is going on? After watching Miss LeFae on LlewellynCon 2020 (jump to minute 9:30, connection tried trolling this a witch) I decided to give this one a chance. I liked her first book, so why not get the second one? And I’m SO glad I did it!
This proved to be a highly healing trip for me and I’m sure it will be for all readers as well. It’s surprising how easily we dismiss beauty as something unimportant and vain, but it surprised me how much I felt about everything I read. The more I knew, the more I wanted to know, an awesome vicious cycle that took me to the murkiest, swampiest part of my shadow and my self-esteem.
Phoenix has a clear, simple style and added bits and pieces of humor along the way. You can feel her honesty, her love for the work she has done and how much effort and dedication she has put into this charming, beautiful tool that is the Beauty Pentacle. I only think I missed how she finally decided what each of the points would represent as she worked with this and the practice evolved, but it’s just something I would have liked to have clear, not that it interferes with the content.
You will get a big, and I mean BIG arsenal of meditations, spell, rituals and journaling prompts for your journey to this book, enough material to develop your own practices as well when you get confident enough. I’m sure I’ll never underestimate beauty as a source of power and how healing it can be; by the way, if you practice any form of energy healing, make sure you get a copy of this baby! Walking in Beauty: Using the Magick of the Pentacle to Bring Harmony to Your Life will become one of your BFFs.
