Spellwork for Self-Care: 40 Spells to Soothe the Spirit [Hardcover]

For those who want to infuse their self-care routine with a little magic, this mystical guidebook provides readers with simple spells to enhance their daily lives. Topics range from relationships and emotional health to self-love, work, school, and more.

Spellwork for Self-Care takes an old-fashioned approach to the practice of self-soothing. As young people flock to the well-worn paths tread by the witches of yore by using tarot card readings, astrological sign analysis, and herbal home remedies for mental and physical ailments, the practice of witchcraft has morphed into a form of spirituality for millennials and Generation Z.

This book of 40 spells combines witchy spiritual practices with our culture's hunger for self-care, creating a compact resource for those seeking alternate paths to better mental, spiritual, emotional, and physical health.POTTER GIFT, an imprint of Random House, is a lifestyle imprint specializing in design, fashion, humor, health, stationery, and other paper and gift products.

Even when the action is as minor as taking half a day off for mental health, caring for yourself is a small, one-person, feminist rebellion. Many people—women especially—try to justify self-care as a way of replenishing energy so they are available to give more of themselves to other people. Having more energy to spread love and kindness is a wonderful side effect of self-care, but it is not the purpose. You do not need an excuse to take care of yourself.

Your self-care is about you.
