Book Review: Mrs. B’s Guide to Household Witchery Everyday Magic, Spells, & Recipes By Kris Bradley

Mrs. B’s Guide to Household Witchery

Everyday Magic, Spells, and Recipes

By: Kris Bradley

 

 

Mrs. B’s Guide to Household Witchery by Kris Bradley is a concise guide to Domestic Witchcraft. Kris Bradley describes Domestic Witchery as “…a magical practice based on bringing magic and deity into the mundane of everyday domestic life. It’s the realization that even the simplest household chores can be transformed to influence the energies in our homes and lives…” Within the pages can be found spells and rituals for the Cottage Witch as well as recipes for many magical concoctions.

I found the down to earth manner of this book to be both refreshing and welcome. Kris Bradley comes across as a warm and friendly person that I would love to have a chat over some fragrant herbal tea with. As a mom, I appreciate the tidbits of activities and spells she includes about our beloved children.

Mrs. B’s Guide to Household Witchery is full of practical advice for Domestic and Cottage Witchery. Chapters on household deities and spirits, the elements, and the Sabbats are sure to keep you magically busy for many years. The chapter on The Domestic Witch’s herbal and the hefty amount of magical recipes are worth the price alone of this fact filled book. Included are recipes for a Nightmare Preventive Sweep, Black Salt, Ancestor Water, Four Thieves Vinegar, Heartbreak Ease Wash (Who couldn’t use this at some time in their life?), Banishing Oil, and many others. You will find information on such kitchen staples as rice, beer, wine, coffee, and several of the herbs used for cooking.

This magic packed book proudly sits in my kitchen with my recipe and herbal books. I find myself turning to it often for the day to day activities that go on in my home (cooking, cleaning, washing, etc.). Kris Bradley has filled this heartfelt book with her years of magical knowledge as a Domestic Witch. Anyone interested in Cottage, Household, or Domestic Witchcraft can’t go wrong with Mrs. B’s Guide to Household Witchery
