Blending storytelling, witchcraft, and warm advice, Jennie Blonde (the @comfycozywitch) offers recipes, rituals, and spell work, to nourish yourself and your family.
For author Jennie Blonde, witchcraft is, in and of itself, comforting. Sure, there are not-so-comfortable parts as well--working with the shadow, coming face to face with that which holds you back. But for Jennie, witchcraft is about connecting with nature, your higher self, and with something beyond--a deity, deities, Spirit, the universe--and being comfortable with your true self in all aspects of your life.
In times of anxiety, Jennie writes, I turn to my practice. When I need a moment of calm and reflection, I retreat to my sacred space for quiet meditation, pulling tarot cards, and journaling to nourish my soul. When I want to nourish my family, I turn to my garden and herbs and cauldron (my stockpot) for a bit of kitchen witchery. When I wish to nourish my body, I turn to mindful movement and self-care rituals and spell work. And throughout the day, every day, there are small rituals I perform to keep me connected to my practice. It's all of those things together that is the heart of my craft.
The book explores:
rituals for protection and cleansing the hearth and home;
comfy cozy witchcraft in the kitchen, creating a kitchen altar, and recipes and rituals for nourishment;
creating a sacred space--no matter the size of the home--the witch's altar, tools, and spells;
grounding rituals, working with herbs and plants, and meditations to connect you with the earth;
the importance of self-care for balancing witchy wellness, complete with rituals and recipes for bath salts, oils, balms;
and more.
