Goodreads review by Dannii

I had been looking for a book focusing on this topic for some time, but as a novice in the field I had not found one both simplistic but illuminating enough for my needs. This beautiful little volume, however, delivered everything I required. This began with an introduction to spellwork that was both......more

Today I'm reviewing Light Magic for Dark Times by Lisa Marie Basile, founder of Luna Luna Magazine. This is a pretty solid book from a binding perspective.

Goodreads review by Literary

Not realizing the true focus of this book when I requested it, I feel a bit out to sea in terms of doing a review in my own words. So I will quote the Publisher’s Note here, while granting LIGHT MAGIC FOR DARK DAYS a 5/5. Light Magic for Dark Times offers inspired, easy-to-do spells to be cast when y......more

Goodreads review by Amber

The best spell book I've ever read (maybe because I'm going through some very dark times). easily organized, lots of spells, very realistic, forgiving spells. Okay one complaint - this book is directed to women, but men could absolutely use this. There's no reason not to go ahead and open the langua......more

Quotes

"Offering a wellspring of divinity, this book advocates compassion and self-love."—O, The Oprah Magazine

“Many people have got into witchcraft in recent years as a response to terrifying world events, which isn’t surprising; witchcraft and practical, community-based activism have long gone hand in hand. In Light Magic for Dark Times, Lisa Marie Basile has listed a wide range of spells for activist witches, focused on building protection, sending power or comfort to those who need it, and focusing on self care.”—BookRiot

"This book is perfect for the beginner who has yet to see themselves reflected in the practices of nature-based faiths. With rituals that combat burnout, foster productivity, and heal internal strife, Lisa Marie Basile's Light Magic For Dark Times shows readers how seemingly esoteric spellcraft actually applies to their everyday lives."—Refinery29

"Basile’s voice is soothing, and she remains the perfect amount of Scorpio mysterious—she never tires the reader with long personal stories, but instead slips in little details of her interesting life, just as much as context allows. This makes her feel like a warm, curious guide who you’d want to get to know over blue lotus tea, probably served in antique Italian bone china owned by someone’s Strega Nona. … What I like most about Light Magic For Dark Times, aside from its beautiful illustrations and narration, is that I feel like I did a good amount of healing work just doing the exercises in the books before I even tried any of the spells."—BUST

"Lisa Marie Basile’s Light Magic for Dark Times is a treasure. She takes self-care and injects it with magic, with thought, and with the complexities—light and dark—that make us human. Beautifully illustrated and laced with poetics, this is a guidebook for a new spirituality, one that infuses ancient wisdoms and ritual with a modern sensibility. It’s the book I want to buy for all my friends."—Erin Khar, Ask Erin advice columnist and managing editor at Ravishly

"A poet’s foray into nonfiction, Light Magic for Dark Times is revelatory—a richly-brewed infusion of everyday magic exactly when many of us need it most."—Sonya Vatomsky, author of Salt Is for Curing and writer at Haute Macabre

"Light Magic for Dark Times is magic itself. Lisa Marie Basile’s eloquent and compassionate spellbook could benefit anyone who feels his or her inner power emerging. Simply beautiful."—Vanessa Cuccia, founder of Chakrubs and author of Crystal Healing and Sacred Pleasure
