Surprise! (Look at this cover for my new real magic book project

Hello my lovelies. As I've briefly mentioned before, I recently started working on a real magic book (a non-fiction book rather than a novel). This book has poured out of me, as though it was already written - indeed, it feels as it I've been trying to write it all my life - or at least since my teens, back in the late 90s and early 2000s when I first became deeply absorbed in magic and wanted to share the magical things I was learning and developing that were helping me though my various emotional and mental health struggles at the time.

It will be long! Of this I am sure. I already have over 100,000 words drafted, and while this will get trimmed down and tuned up in the editing process, I still have more to write!

I'm not sure exactly when it will be ready, but I have an ambitious target of releasing it in time for my 40th birthday (in August), because as Jung says: life begins at 40, everything before that is practice!

I have been practicing all these years, and publishing this book will be a wonderful way to "begin" because really, we are always begining, deepening, becoming ourselves, in every day, in every sensation, in every moment of life's unfolding. The book will delve into this - the magic of our becoming, and of course it will cover many of the subjects I love such as astrology, magical herbs, the four elements, spellwork, ritual crafting, and rather a lot of shadow work - because in the darkness is where we find our deepest witchy potential.

I have an extra treat coming very soon for the Myrtlewood Academy + tiers. It's a mini guide to magical crystals. And I will be sharing more content from this magical book in the coming weeks too.

What do you think? Isn't the cover beautiful?

I absolutely love it.

Blessed be
