Book Review: Daily Magic by Judika Illes
The Book: Daily Magic: Spells and Rituals for Making the Whole Year Magical by Judika Illes
Source: I received an advance copy of this book on NetGalley (and then pre-ordered my own physical copy!)
My Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (see my review on Goodreads)
Daily Magic is so much better than I imagined it would be! For some reason I was expecting a book with 365 little bits of magic you can do on any random day. What I got was a treasure trove of witchcraft lore for every single day on the calendar! The introduction provides a great foundation for the history of calendars and special, magical dates throughout the year. Then it is broken down by month, and each date has its own collection of correspondences, deities, special rites and rituals throughout witchy history, and ideas for infusing that particular day with magic. I really appreciated the depth and range of information provided in this book. I am really looking forward to using it as a daily magical bit of reading, and as a reference for planning special dates in the future. Yes -- very soon after starting this advance copy, I went online and pre-ordered my own physical copy, which will be filled with my own marked pages and notes!
