More and more often, I\u2019m finding books about witchcraft intersecting with self-help. It is an easy fit, but I always carry a bit of skepticism when approaching a self-help\/wellness book and dressing it up in a witch\u2019s hat doesn\u2019t change that. Fortunately, there are authors out there doing it right, and today\u2019s book, \u201cHappy Witch: Activities, Spells, and Rituals to Calm the Chaos and Find Your Joy\u201d by Mandi Em is one of them.<\/p>\n

$\"\"$ \u201cHappy Witch\u201d comfortably walks the line with being positive without becoming toxic and being realistic without discouraging aspirations. Em divides the book into six chapters, which breaks down as:<\/p>\n

Be Free<\/strong> by laying the groundwork for a magically empowered mindset.
\nBe Wild<\/strong> by connecting with nature and leaning into rewilding as a source of joy.
\nBe Playful<\/strong> by inviting play and creativity into your life through spells and rituals designed to heal and delight your inner child.
\nBe Still<\/strong> by unearthing bliss in the quieter work of your witchy practices, exploring your shadows to find the light.
\nBe Connected<\/strong> by using relational magic to enjoy your connections with yourself and others on a deeper level.
\nBe Soulful<\/strong> by embodying the magic you want to see in the world.<\/p>\n

The subtitle is accurate, Em provides a bevy of spells, activities, and rituals in each chapter. They generally feature readily available items and utilize beginner friendly magical concepts. In \u201cHappy Witch\u201d, witchcraft is a tool, not a religion, that when used effectively can positively affect your life. This book is certainly beginner friendly, being perfect for those looking to dip their toe in witchcraft, or for a witch looking to integrate a little more self-care into their practice.<\/p>\n
