Review of Planetary Apothecary (Paperback)

Incredibly insightful take on health and wellness.This book appeals to the astrology novice (me) as well as those well versed in their astrological make up.Before reading Planetary Apothecary I hadn't considered a connection between my zodiac sign and my physical health.I wish I had this book 5 years ago because much of what Gailing details as part of my "Libran" self-care profile, I've slowly come to know through trial and error.I'm excited to try the wellness recommendations she outlines in areas I haven't explored (i.e. aromatherapy, yoga poses and relaxation techniques).While there are 12 astrological signs (and main chapters in the book) I found that reading the chapters on my moon and ascendant signs were equally helpful in creating a more personalized wellness plan. This has opened my eyes to the world of medical astrology and I'm loving it!

Product Description

Review of Feng Shui for Life: Mastering the Dynamics between Your Inner World and Outside Environment (Paperback)

This is an awesome book for both the first-timer and anyone looking for a little more detailed information about improving your life with feng shui. It covers the philosophy and concepts of feng shui, along with how to determine who you are, where you are, and where you are going. It has a self-assesment section which addresses possible health problems you may have and how to remedy them. Part 4 is all about feng shui in the home. I started reading this book and couldn't put it down until 2 in the morning. Then I got right up the next morning and finished reading it. It is easy to understand but not so simple to make you feel like a "dummy." It is wonderful as a straight read-through and also will work as a reference to come back to many times. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in learning about feng shui and what it can do for you.

Review of Cottage Witchery: Natural Magick for Hearth and Home (Paperback)

As a novice kitchen witch & yet to begin gardener this book was quite helpful in sparking ideas.While no chapter went into deep detail the basics are covered and that's what I was after.Ms. Dugan's style is very conversational which I prefer over academic language.It's an easy read, and offers inspiration, not concrete "must be this way" type solutions.Ms. Dugan encourages creativity and adapting her charms.If you're just getting started this is an excellent resource.If you're more advanced in the art of kitchen or green witchcraft you may want to look for a different title as I doubt you would find the indepth information you may desire here.

Product Description
Ellen Dugan, the author of Garden Witchery, is the ideal guide to show us how to bring the beauty of nature and its magickal energies indoors.

From specialized spells and charms to kitchen conjuring and color magick, this hands-on guide teaches Witches of all levels how to strengthen a home's aura and energy.
