Bought this back when I believed in actualizing myself through optimizing myself for performance and finding fulfillment through my work. This was also from a cultural moment that witchy stuff was hot as a female empowerment thing, all tying into addressing the modern worlds ills through personal action when really the problem is society not us as individuals. Anyways reading it through that lens initially made it a little more special and inspiring. Reading it now it’s very flat, very basic either as a way to capitalize on those cultural key stones, or to make it all more accessible in modern life and make you feel like things you’re already doing are witchy. Either way it’s not a book I’ll hold on to now and I don’t appreciate what it’s selling in this moment of my life.

Ich fands ganz süß, nichts weltbewegendes aber oft eine (wichtige) Erinnerung an eigentlich Bekanntes. Es sind sehr viele Rezepte und Anleitungen drin. Mir hätte ein bisschen mehr Input und generellere Anregung besser gefallen. Der Schreibstil der Autorin war sehr angenehm und ihr Mindset (Tipps, aber nie dogmatisch a la "das ist der einzig richtige Weg") hat mir auch sehr zugesagt.
