The Witch of the Forest's Guide to Earth Magick

 Hi everyone,


so this past week I managed to read  The Witch of the Forest's Guide to Earth Magick by   and Viki Lester (Illustrations). I was first drawn to it because of the cover. It gives me fall vibes, even though we're still in spring over here. 

GoodReads Summary:

Discover how to use witchcraft to connect more deeply with yourself, and learn from the Earth how to bloom and thrive at your own pace!

My opinion:

I've always been interested in Wicca and the occult, but other than watching the occasional documentary about witches I haven't really done anything to learn more. So, one day I don't know what came over me but this old interest got rekindled and I quickly found numerous books on the topic. It's not like I'm going to start practicing and casting spells left and right but I see it as a way to manage stress. For me "witchcraft" is just another way to channel your energy into a wish. Whether you call it prayer, scripting or spells the main idea is all the same. And I've watched a lot of videos of successful people and they all talk about the Law of Attraction.

This book is a great overview of the basics. The information it gives is quite concise. You can find information about everything from how to cast circles to working with crystals. It's a great guide to help you focus on what branch you want to deepen your knowledge.  The illustrations are amazing and honestly, I would frame some of the pages if it wasn't going to ruin the copy. I mean look at these: 

After every chapter, you can find an illustration with the most important information, so you don't have to read everything if you just want to check something. The book is about absolute beginners, you won't learn that much but I think it's amazing to help you start. Onthe very last pages, you can even find suggestions on what other books to pick up if you want to learn more about a particular topic.

What's new?!

Hello people, long time no posting! It's been a whole year since the last book review. Not that I've read much since then. Honestly, I feel like I haven't done anything in that time. According to Goodreads I've read 18 books since the start of 2020. How? I've got no clue.   So, since last time I found a new job after a lot of searching. It's amazing how many shitty people are out there and how many of them are in charge of companies. Long story short I managed somehow to start working for a language center and it's became time Pros: -met great colleagues with whom we've become friends -the working hours weren't great, but at least during the day I had more free time Cons: - shitty boss who is always nice to you but at the same time doesn't care for their team, hence a lot of resignation - lies about the salary - lies about my future in the company: we had agreed for me to teach remotely from Monday till Friday but now suddenly...

PanThatPalette: Update #1

Hey guys, I think it's time for an update on the Pan That Palette Challenge. It's not going great actually, because most days I don't feel like putting on makeup before work. At first I was motivated and wanted to make progress as fast as possible but when I wake up in the mornings it's not on my priority list. I've hit a pan only on one color as you can see from the photo. And I've made my peace with the fact I'm not going to really use about 5 colors, which are Skylight, Transformer, Midnight Rainbow, Smoothie and Blacqua. I've tried to incorporate them in some looks but they're just too dark. And I suck at makeup so it's extra hard for me to not look like clown and a mess while wearing these colors. However, I did use all of the colors at some point even if just to take it off again in a few minutes, which in a way is a milestone for me, because I would never even think to put on black eye shadow. Now as to what I think about he palett...

Book Review: The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood

“Better never means better for everyone... It always means worse, for some.”  Hey guys, it's time for another book review, as the 2018 Reading Challenge is going great. This is the fifth book that I've read in January. As you know I read Alias Grace by Atwood at the beginning of the month and I was amazed by the story and the writing. Unfortunately, this didn't happen with The Handmaid's Tale. GoodReads Summary: Offred is a Handmaid in the Republic of Gilead. She may leave the home of the Commander and his wife once a day to walk to food markets whose signs are now pictures instead of words because women are no longer allowed to read. She must lie on her back once a month and pray that the Commander makes her pregnant, because in an age of declining births, Offred and the other Handmaids are valued only if their ovaries are viable. Offred can remember the years before, when she lived and made love with her husband, Luke; when she played with and protected her...
