Let\u2019s be totally real here. There are hundreds, probably thousands, of beginner\u2019s guides to magic and witchcraft. I could easily recommend a couple before ever having read \u201cPractical Magic: A Beginner\u2019s Guide to Crystals, Horoscopes, Psychics, and Spells\u201d by Nikki Van De Car. However I\u2019m here to tell you that THIS is the one you give to others (and possibly as a gift to yourself too).<\/p>\n
\u201cPractical Magic\u201d briefly touches on every little thing that floats in the realm of magic. Chakras, herbs, crystals, astrology, Pagan holidays, auras, tarot, lucid dreaming, and even more are covered in this 176 page book. The author\u2019s writing is clear and accessible. She makes every topic interesting and a thing you would want to explore more in depth.<\/p>\n
The reason this is THE gift to give is not only the broad scope, but this book is BEAUTIFUL. I mean absolutely stunning. Hard cover, heavy paper stock, full color and loaded with fabulous illustrations by Katie Vernon. The whole look of the book is magical in appearance.<\/p>\n![\"This](\"https:\/\/themagicalbuffet.com\/blog1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/healing-spell-300x249.png\")
