XolokReads reviewed Practical Magic for Beginners by Maggie Haseman
A guide to new age mysticism that provides the how but not the why
2 stars
This book covers several new age and magical practices from a very practical (as the name suggests) standpoint. The author covers crystals, aura colors, tarot, chakras, etc. There isn't any particular school or practice being followed, but the author clarifies that this is what works for her. I'm glad that she emphasizes that certain things are only meant as a complement to standard alopathic medicine, but she also suggests that certain herbs are the same as alopathic medication. They aren't. Also, crystals and herbs should be responsibly sourced. This book from 2020 should be aware enough of that if it is going to suggest them.
