In her intriguing debut, Feldmann, founder of magical healing company HausWitch, guides readers through simple magical practices to use in the home. Blending interior design with tools for spiritual health, the book explores ways that the physical environment can influence and access the magical realm. Feldmann asserts that her teachings “harness the positive energy in the home” using “six fundamental elements: manifestation, clearing, protection, comfort, harmony, and balance.” Instruction, on creating essence potions, using charged magical objects, and manifesting spells (such as by burning inscribed paper on pyrite) are highlights. Dividing the book into six sections, Feldmann combines personal anecdotes with opinions from renowned witches and spiritualists to present crystals, meditation, astrology, tarot, visualization, and herbalism, among others, as tools of witchcraft that can transform a home. Guides for making “vision boards,” astrological charts, all-natural cleaners, and restorative baths are included, along with many examples, definitions, and Feldmann’s personal experiences and research into ways that witchcraft can improve the quality and energy of one’s life. This detailed work will be a solid starting point for readers looking to “make the very best of space through intention-setting and magic.”(Mar.)
