Enchantments

A Modern Witch's Guide to Self-Possession

De: Mya Spalter

Narrado por: Mya Spalter

A wise, witchy, and welcoming guide to living life magically

Mya Spalter has spent years among candles, herbs, cats, and spells as an employee at New York City’s oldest occult shop, Enchantments. Since it would get crowded in there if all of you visited, this audiobook will be your guide to its secrets and stories; in the process, Mya will introduce you to some mystical concepts you can use to build spells and rituals that resonate with your own personal style, including:

• Create and maintain altars Even people who aren’t spiritually inclined seem to be able to get down with the beneficial function of an altar as a place to model beauty and balance in their lives. It’s aspirational.
• Save your love magic for yourself Because casting a love spell on someone else is pushy and far too easy to mess up.
• Clean your filthy apartment Fine, maybe you make your bed every day, but Mya’s talking about the kind of grime you can’t necessarily see.
• Money magic for need, not greed Hint: It starts with tipping well; it doesn’t pay to be miserly when asking the universe for abundance.

Mya reveals the power of colors (Louboutins wouldn’t have the same status if their soles were lavender), the keys to banishing unfriendly spirits (with cleansing rituals or even a dance party), and invaluable instructions in the timeless arts of astrology, tarot, and finding a parking spot downtown.

Immerse yourself in this audiobook and enchant your own life!

Light hearted

Loved this audiobook and the narrator/author. Lots of information in such a fun delivery, I will listen to this again and again.

Great story interwoven with useful info. Listened to it twice.

So glad I bought this book. Will reference it for years to come. Hoping she comes out with a 2nd book soon.

THE BEST

I love this book! I found it to be the perfect blend of informative and entertaining. I also appreciated the author’s undogmatic (non-dogmatic?)(meh, you get it) attitude toward magic. The author is also the best performer I’ve ever listened to for an audible book, and I’ve been at this a while.

soooooo great

I've read lots of similar books - this one is written with a spirit that I could relate with so well. I almost want my husband to read it, so he'd better understand what's going on in the house, haha.

I listened to it twice....

I really enjoyed this audio book. So much so that I listened to it twice on one long road trip.

Mya obviously respects the Craft without taking it too seriously - or maybe that's the wrong way to say it. She encourages each of us to follow our own path, even if that path isn't rigorously structured. Her performance is great, too, like having a conversation with a friend who wants to tell you about her cool job. She also has a way of mentioning Enchantments often without it feeling like an infomercial (though I will definitely stop by next time I'm in NYC).
