I haven’t read this book yet, but just seeing the title made me excited and I thought a lot of the coven members would be too!
It’s a book called Chronically Magical by Danielle Dionne and looks to be about doing magic while you are chronically ill with something. Here’s the blurb from the Amazon website:
You Are More than Your Illness
Magickal Practices and Stories from a Witch Who Knows What You’re Going Through
Your condition may always be with you, but so will your magick. This book is a beacon of hope for anyone grappling with chronic or invisible illness. Through personal stories and hands-on magick, Danielle Dionne guides your journey of self-discovery. She shows you how to incorporate spellcraft, healing, self-care, and confidence-building practices into your own unique process.
Chronically Magickal presents techniques that help boost your energy, mood, and vision for your future. While it can’t cure your illness, this book teaches you how to accept help from others, grow around grief, pace yourself according to the spoon theory, and more. You’ll also learn how to work with stone, plant, and animal allies. From energy clearing to spirit communication, Danielle covers every aspect of staying magickal and manifesting change for the better.
Foreword by Amy Blackthorn, author of Blackthorn’s Botanical Magic
You can find it on Llewellyn’s website here. and at Amazon US here.
I’ll have to take a look at it. The blurb sounds wonderful and so relevant. I can’t do anything about my chronic disease but I can do what I can to take care of my mental, spiritual, magickal and physical health!
Thanks for the recommendation! I was supposed to write something up last year for witches with disabilities or something to that effect. I took notes but never got to write it up. This reminds me I should work on it!
I was thinking about that after I saw this book, too! I started the wheel of appointments after my surgeries in August, and this month, my primary had imaging done of my spine. And Away We Go!!! The rest of September and well into October so far have been quite a bit. This got me thinking about my limitations changing daily and witches with similar limitations each day.
If you get to write something up, that would be wonderful!
So I found my notes. It’s just a list of topics. Idk if you want me to share that. It doesn’t give any tips. I should be able to write something up quickly with a little more detail
It sounds like a helpful and supportive resource to have on hand.
I love the quote and intro blurb. Thank you
