There is so much to this book. So many different elements to make 'every home a sacred sanctuary' - it looks at feng sui, crystals, colours, gods and goddesses, zodiac, smells, so much!!

I think this book is great to dip in and out of. I also love how it covers so many different spiritual elements, religions, faiths and cultures. This book would make a great pressie for someone moving into a new home. Would be a great xmas pressie.

Definitely recommend!

Absolutely magical!!

A handbook for the new and experienced in magic and spirituality, this book is absolutely enthralling from it's first to last pages- which are filled with really beautiful and informative illustrations about various crystals, sigils and paraphernalia you can use to keep your house a safe sanctuary.

There is a lot of really great stuff: encompassing the paths of the moon- and what the phases can be harnessed for, colours and their uses, meditation, altars, bells, brooms and a myriad of other such things specific to how to protect your house and home.

The only thing I might mention is the book did talk about smudging with sage. I am not informed of the authors ethnicity, but I know that the use of especially white sage is part of a closed practice that are some Native American/first people cultures. As it is not only endangered (notably from its sudden popularity in non-native practices) but specific to their history and the horrible assimilation that made up the 19th and 20th centuries. I wasn't particularly comfortable with how it although did tell you to make sure to purchase from a native owned business, it didn't talk about how many tribes actually do not feel it is right for people outside of their culture to use it.

That however was the only caution I might exercise, as otherwise this was a masterwork and perfect for the beginner or new home owner looking to enchant their space.

Excellent way to bring peace and harmony into yor home. First this book focuses on practical ways to improve your life where you live. I knew from the start that it was real because the author discusses the importance of color in what you are doing and decorating your home with. Many ideas are touched on. Feng shui, household dieties, crystals and common sense are among the many. Anyone can bring more peace into their life by reading and doing these simple things.

I actually loved this book. This came as a surprise to me as the introduction and the first chapter were clumsy and rushed. (and could have been tidied up). I was skeptical, but then got to the juicy parts of the book; where this all changed. I really liked the general feel of the book and LOVED the little history/world traditions folklore lessons throughout. SO interesting! Really good to have a guide for flowers/crystals/oils and colours and their meanings for the mood of the home. There are even some tips for a restful sleep! Lovely book and would be a nice gift for a new homeowner.

I wasn't sure what this book was a first but it seems to be almost an encyclopedia that is fragmented. I do wish this book had been more cohesive for me but it does provide a ton of information and would be perfect for anyone wanting to incorporate more magical aspects into their home and home life.
