Light Magic for Dark Times offers inspired, easy-to-do spells to be cast when your world is descending into chaos and darkness, or to help prevent it. Having a hard time finding that light? Need to manifest strength or conviction in the face of trauma and division? Want to send healing vibes to a friend or a group of people who need it? Lisa Marie Basile shares inspired spells to be cast during a crisis or to help prevent one. Witchcraft has evolved and been redefined to be more accessible to those who don’t identify as witches or Wiccan. The spells and rituals in this book do not require special training or permission and are inexpensive. Feminist, inclusive, modern, DIY, wise, informative. Rooted in the power of intention (our will and focus is magic), rather than difficult-to-find ingredients (you don’t need mugwort or quartz for a spell to work). Spells and practices in this book include: A binding spell to combat social burnout A seashell spell to protect a loved one or a group A lunar light ritual to welcome new beginnings A bathing ritual to heal from grief A three-candle spell to find strength in the face of trauma Accompanying the spells are informative sidebars about the cultural and historical background of witchcraft and spellcraft.
