The Great October Book Giveaway - Making Magic

The three people taking home a copy of Making Magic are:

Ellie
Lisa
Aurora

Thank you so much to everyone who stopped by to toss your name in the hat! Swing by again tomorrow for the next handful of delights!

Who has not been in touch with the extraordinary and extremely rare at least once? Who has not come through some kind of fire of the soul, or hoarded a certain treasure, or listened to a living wood?

Fairytales and folk charms, familial stories, ancestral practices, and the thump-thump of your heart beating in your chest as you feel the threads of magic twist around you, whirling up from some timeless place within you. You know it when you feel it. It's a recognition of something that seems like it has always been a part of you. It is the realization that when you were small you saw a grandparent perform a rite or incantation of some kind (though they would surely not have called it that). It is the remembrance of old songs or stories that were meant to keep you from harm's way, or heal you, or bring something back to you.

"Now it is time to remember our magic," Briana Saussy says, and the next book in our month of giveaways is one that will surely help you do that. Briana has been weaving magic for years, working in-person and online with folks all over the world. Her candle and petition work is renowned, her courses are unmatched, and she's a damn fine astrologer to boot. This past August she released an absolute gem of a book, "Making Magic: Weaving Together the Everyday and the Extraordinary," and I'm thrilled to be able to share some copies with you, thanks to the generous folks at Sounds True.

One of the things that I love about Bri is that she peels back the heavy curtain that others try to drape over magical practice, and shows how accessible and practical magic can be for everyone.

Magic, like all wild things, does not accept or settle into assumed roles, nor does it follow impatient demands. It goes its own way, making its home in all places where the everyday and extraordinary are woven together.

You can read an excerpt of this bewitching book here.

I have three copies of Making Magic to give away. Leave a comment (with contact info if you please) and I'll put your name in the hat! Share this post, or any of Briana's wonderful work, and circle back with a comment, and I'll put your name in the hat again. If you'd prefer to enter the draw privately, just use the "make contact" button up top. I will be drawing the three names on Tuesday, October 15th at 9pm Pacific.
