I'm also struggling to finish this book. I'm not impressed.

Jasper Reviews "Psychic Witch" By Mat Auryn - A Fucking Dredge To Get Through

This is a book that's for a very specific audience.

This is a book for Wiccans or Wiccan-adjacent witches who can visualize, who practice "meditation" of some form, who believe in the very specific energy working system that the author describes, and who believe in the same sorts of magic/animism as the author does, i.e.:

four elements plus "quintessence" aka spirit,

a weird mangling of the concept of an inner child and shadow self brought on by modern people thinking that Carl Jung's shadow work was solely about "negativity" and "bad vibes",

everyone having a higher self,

everyone having a divine purpose,

three levels of souls,

auras,

cleansing and protecting before any and all actions even in your own space,

and so on.

I am none of those people. Mat Auryn's approach does not work for me, and I hated having to slog through 7 pages of introduction (aka Mat Auryn's backstory) only to get to the actual content and be sorely disappointed in this book that claims it can "be adjusted" to other people's spiritual/religious/magical viewpoints only to discover that it really can't. A lot of the things claimed to be universal (e.g. definitions of intuition versus psychic ability) are, in fact, not universal. I would argue this author up one side and down the other about this. Not in that the author is inherently wrong in their own definitions, but in that it's somehow universal.

I am also, as usual, docking a point for spelling magic with a K. I'm glad I own this copy, because I could go through with a pen and scribble out the unnecessary K.

This is not a useful book to someone who has already developed their own understanding of energy and energy work. But at the same time, it's so boring and stale (even with exercises all over the place) that I wouldn't want to give it to a beginner either.

Official Jasper Review: 3/10, not what I needed, and I don't want it.

Maybe other people get something from this book, but I just couldn't.

what is a grimoire?

a grimoire can be defined as a book of magical spells and invocations; sometimes used interchangeably with "book of shadows" but you can call it whatever you want.

what should i write my grimoire in / on?

a grimoire can be handwritten or typed, there is no wrong way to construct your grimoire. (for example, my grimoire is typed in a one note document but also stretched across many, many different notebooks and composition books)

Dollar Tree Finds

While on break today, I came across some new products perfect as a gift or treating yourself. Astrology isn't my thing, but I did find these new trinket boxes.

For another Dollar Tree find we have those yearly Astrology books. I don't know how good they are.

I was also thrilled when I turned and looked I found a plastic organizer with compartments and a lid.

I figured I could use it as an DIY altar kit or something else witchy. The middle row is raised so there is room to put some bigger supplies or a carefully folded altar cloth.

✨Anything to help others find ways to save money, and still feel magical while doing it. ✨

She is a Name that came to me often this year, and has brought her fierceness with her. While this piece may be a small tribute, it is no less of who she is.
