House Magic: The Good Witch's Guide to Bringing Grace to Your Space

There are awesome things to do and wonderful ideas for your home. It gives a wonderful feeling of lived in yet peaceful to the home....

House Magic: The Good Witch's Guide to Bringing Grace to Your Space is one of those indispensable little books that includes a wealth of wisdom. Author Ariana says that "there is such a diversity of information available from different sources and traditions that I thought an eclectic collection of ideas would help readers take control of their lives by getting their houses in order." Although the focus is on living space, getting a house in order also puts a life in good order. Ariana includes lots of suggestions, but emphasizes that what's important is developing awareness of who you are and learning to follow your own intuition in eliminating all forms of clutter from your life. She describes how to use techniques such as astrology, feng shui, plants, crystals, candles, and incense to create a harmonious environment full of positive energy. Each chapter ends with a section called "Bringing It All Together," which outlines the highlights of that chapter for quick reference. Ariana reminds people that the first step is to know what they want. That puts them on the road to achieving it. Then they can use whatever seems right for bringing in the positive energy needed for turning dreams into reality. "House Magic shows readers how to design their homes to fulfill personal needs and master the ability to display their own uniqueness using their homes as a medium." Anyone desiring to create that "perfect space" will discover that Ariana has provided an essential reference for choosing the best way to produce a "vibrant castle of creativity and warmth."

A simple, well-written little book that's not just for witches! Written with humor and intelligence, it offers practical advice, not just folklore. In fact, it deals far more with energy flow than with superstition. Excellent basic book for anyone who wants to go beyond the basic happy home books out there.

Having just spent the past 6 months remodeling our old house, I was really happy that this book came into my life. I was just about to put everything into place when the book arrived. I read it from cover to cover -- twice -- and became truly inspired to make my house a happy place, a haven, and a home.Forget about the witch thing if that makes you wary...what Ariana does is give you down-to-earth advice on how to create a warm, inviting, soothing environment in which to live, laugh and love. I've used some of Ariana's methods and altered some to fit my own style...and my home is better for it.I especially loved the chapter on Feng Shui, as other books I've read were a bit complicated and detailed for my east Texas tastes.Enjoy!

More than a spellbook, or guide to Wicca and Witchcraft, this book is specifically designed to help everyone make their living areas into sacred spaces. Ariana puts forth her ideas and suggestions in a casual, friendly tone, and makes the reader feel as thought they are getting advice from a good friend. On the magical side, the book is a handy reference that explores the meanings of color, fragrance, and object placement, and also includes suggestions on how to use your astrological sign to guide your decorating scheme, as well as how to enhance your personal health and well being through the use of gems, crystals, and the art of Feng Shui. This is a fun, creative book for anyone wishing to create a more peaceful home environment.

Ariana's House Magic tells how to change your environment and transform your life. Plenty of books focus on particular paths for doing so - feng shui, et.al. - this brings them all together under one cover, providing the unified approach so necessary for a easy integration of spirituality and home design.
