I recently finished reading one book and I want to tell you all about because it is great, I liked it, and it touches upon a subject we often neglect in our practice.

With a short yet juicy introduction to the most basic of the witchcraft basics, Michael Herkes lets the reader know just enough so they can embark on a journey of self-discovery and healing in all the senses. However, he made it all with a good sense of humor and easy-going explanations that make it all more entertaining, so even if you know this information you will enjoy reading it again.

What follows are several exercises, spells, rituals, meditations, prompts, and more, all of them focused on getting better, not only physically, but also mentally, emotionally, spiritually, more connected to your abundance, your relationships, and your environment. Witchcraft for Daily Self-Care is a transformative reading that will also give you several ideas to create your own self-care rituals to enrich your witchy practice with.

With illustrations of Bárbara Malagoli (almost exclusively for the first part), the text by Michael Herkes is entertaining, humorous at times, understanding, and also serious when he needs it to be. I liked how diverse the spells and rituals were, some so simple you could do them anytime, and others which required a bit more preparation and some shopping; who doesn't like to do some witchy shopping?

This second part was a little of a heavy reading for me because I've never been friends with the spell-book format. Maybe it could have been easier for me if the author shared some of his own experiences more often, but in general it is a workbook. Witchcraft for Daily Self-Care: Nourishing Rituals and Spells for a More Balanced Life, by Michael Herkes, is a must have for witches and muggles alike because of the topic it touches and its wholesome approach to it. You won't regret getting this book!
