⛤Glamour Magic Daily Routine⛤

Here are some tips on how to include glamour magic in your daily life!

Visualise the water washing away all the negativity when you shower

Say affirmation when doing your skincare

Use moon water to cleanse 

Spray bedding with perfume

Enchanting your mirrors to improve the self image of anyone who looks in them

Enchant your jewellery for protection/confidence

Use correspondences in your skincare routine: do you use coconut oil? Maybe a rose face mist? All those products can be given a deeper meaning in your daily life!

Match the colours of your makeup to your intentions for the day

Enchant your nail polish (bonus: match the colour to the intention, black for protection, red for love, green for prosperity, etc)

Choose a perfume that inspires you for the day

Charge your perfume with the energy you wish to attract

Put sigils in your shoes

Some witches veil to keep their energy from draining and to protect them from others’ emotions, but a beanie works too

If you wear glasses, use them as a tool so that they help you “see clearly”

Put your moisturiser or concealer on in the shape of a sigil before massaging it in

Write sigils on your makeup products, even putting lip balm on could help you mentally throughout the day!

When shaving, visualise any energy buildup being shaved off as well

Remember to love yourself

Witchfully Yours,

Currently thinking about how Mikey went from not even knowing magic existed to being able to brute force a portal into another dimension in the span of two years

Deborah and I are happy to introduce you to the Octopus from the upcoming Everyday Witch's Familiars Oracle published by Llewellyn Worldwide (May 2024). What you may think of as an unconventional witch's familiar, this highly intelligent sea-dweller has a lot of wisdom to share! I illustrated this 40 card deck with ink, watercolor, and acryla gouache. Every painting is 7x10 inches and the Octopus is seeking a home.

This is for those of us who love autumn :)

And so the season of fairies begins. The blooms outside are becoming abundant.

My imagination is waking up.

Some days are so sweet that they feel like sunlight on my skin, the relief after monotonous rainy days.

Everyday ☕🌱 !.

I do believe in an everyday sort of magic -- the inexplicable connectedness we sometimes experience with places, people, works of art and the like; the eerie appropriateness of moments of synchronicity; the whispered voice, the hidden presence, when we think we're alone ...

I'll be fine I just need to apply my healing and protection runes (gets out a roll of KT tape)

finding magic

If you ever find yourself feeling sad about living in a world without magic, or miracles, or whatever word/concept you prefer, just remember:

There exist winged, living creatures that glow in the dark.

Berries that were unripe yesterday, inedible last week, nonexistent last month, turn sweet and delicious of their own accord overnight. And after you pluck them to eat or to share, new ones spontaneously appear and ripen to take their place.

Merely by breathing on liquid elixir or waving a wand that has been dipped into the potion, one can create streams of iridescent, translucent, ephemeral jewels that float in the breeze and then vanish in the blink of an eye.

And here I am sitting here in one little corner of the world, and you are off in your own corner, perhaps thousands upon thousands of miles apart, and my words and thoughts have reached you without either of us needing to speak, to meet, to travel, or even to know each other by name.

Jasper Reviews: The Magical Girl's Guide to Life

The Magical Girl's Guide to Life: Find Your Inner Power, Fight Everyday Evil & Save the Day With Self-Care is a 192 page book by Jacque Aye and published by Ulysses Press.

The author is a first generation Nigerian-American who is, among other things, the founder of the Adorned by Chi lifestyle brand, a therapist-in-training, and manga writer. She is a vocal supporter of mental health awareness and self-care among Black women, an advocate for those suffering from social anxiety, and strives to show the world that Black women can be just as feminine and beautiful as anyone else. (All of this has been derived from the author's own words throughout the book and in the About the Author section.)

Despite being categorized as a manga on Amazon, it's more accurate to describe this as a creative guide to early adult life. Despite the aesthetics, the book is very much written for its target demographic: Young people from the age of 16 to...I'd say probably around 24 who struggle with connecting to other people and struggle with their mental health or self-worth. It's a very easy read.

Sprinkled in around the author's advice on topics are related stories from her own life. These stories add to the overall advice (even the intermission sections) and help to explain more of who our author is and why she's writing this book.

Different magical girl or magical girl-like series are used as comparison points throughout the book, either to compare to the author's advice or to starkly contrast it. Miraculous Ladybug, Seven Universe, and Winx Club are some of the non-anime magical girl series mentioned, and come up a few times each throughout the book. Even if you don't know anything about the series the author is using, she contextualizes it enough for you to be able to follow along easily.

It's also queer-inclusive. The author uses the term "magical being" and the emphasis on embracing femininity is never some creepy "vagina period power" message, but rather one about being more comfortable just being yourself and playing around with feminine expressions. Any indication of potential romantic partners or friends is completely ungendered or uses they/them pronouns. It's fantastic and doing so much better than most witchcraft books.

There were very few sections that made me raise a brow (only two thus far based on phrasing) and I find this book to be a fascinating look into a potential pop culture paradigm based on the concept of magical girls. It's obviously not meant to be such a thing, but it's very easy to adapt it.

Official Jasper Review: 8/10, for the right demographic

If you're not interested in magical girl-based things or you're an established adult, this book may not be as helpful to you as it is to me, but I wholeheartedly believe that this book is just one degree removed from being a pop culture paradigm of its own.
