Synopsis
Part guided journaling practice, part interactive magical grimoire, WordCraft Witchery shows you how to incorporate writing as a magical tool to create healing and amplify spell-casting.
Whenever and wherever you are, word magic is with you. During times of chaos or pain, or simply when you need a cosmic boost, writing can help. In fact, healers, therapists, and magical practitioners have long incorporated writing in their practices. From letter writing for creating closure to dream diaries, writing is is a powerful process for moving your dreams into manifestation.
WordCraft Witchery approaches writing as a self-actualizing, intentional, and healing act. You will learn how to combine writing with ritual and magic for self-discovery, clarifying intentions, creating and making things happen, and manifestation. You will also be guided in how to create a personal grimoire--a magical book of self rituals, spells, and intentions. Each chapter contains writing prompts that also incorporate magical ritual and tools including working with crystals, spell incantation, or candle alchemy. Other rituals and prompts may be set up for certain moon phases or ask you to bury or burn a piece of paper.
Equal parts practical and inspiring, WordCraft Witchery shows you how to wield your word as your wand.
