Re-enchant your life with this book of rituals, ceremonies, and practices for personal growth―anchored in the hidden power of everyday things.    “We all have a deep capacity to make magic . . . . . . and to do it as easily as we breathe or open our eyes. This is not a matter of belief. You can discover your own capacity for magic in your own direct experience.” ― Briana Saussy   When you think of magic, do you imagine something supernatural, extraordinary, or beyond your everyday reality? Many of us are drawn to magic because we think there’s something “out there” that can bring enchantment and wonder back into our lives.   Yet there’s a secret to real magic: the extraordinary is much closer than you may think.   With Making Magic, expert teacher Briana Saussy invites you to discover a practice of magic that will bring a new depth and power to each moment, act, and choice of your life. Through teaching stories, wisdom from a wide variety of world traditions, and no-nonsense practices you can easily weave into your daily routine, Briana will help you reconnect with the wild and creative force of magic that is always around and within you, waiting for you to remember.   As you explore this path of transformation, you’ll discover resources of magic that permeate your life, including:   • Doors and thresholds―ways we “cross between worlds” • Communication―creating magic with your voice, body, intentions, and relationships • Holy helpers―ancestors, angels, saints, and spirit beings who guide and support you • Water and washing―access the revitalizing energy of water when you drink or bathe • Textiles and threads―how to loosen, mend, or bind up supportive energies • Candles and fire―elemental power to bring light to darkness and burn away what no longer serves you • Kitchen magic―using food to nourish your whole self and reconnect you with nature • Talismans―infuse your beloved objects with sacred purpose and supportive power   “Magic is the most real part of any ‘real life’―the spark illuminating the authentic core of every experience,” writes Briana Saussy. If you are ready to enter a world that is ripe with possibility and rediscover the electric wildness of your life, here is an essential resource for Making Magic as only you can.   “With Making Magic, Briana Saussy provides a clear, welcoming guide to accessing your magic and creating a spiritual path that is all your own. She teaches you to recognize and locate the magical powers that already exist all around you and within you. If that wasn’t enough (and really it is), if you, like me, are a fairytale lover, this book contains one of the best versions of Goldilocks ever. Recommended!” ―Judika Illes, author of the Encyclopedia of 5,000 Spells, The Big Book of Practical Spells, and other books devoted to the magical arts “This extraordinary little book is the medicine we need now! Many elders say that the global change we need most will come when we make changes inside our own homes. With ourselves. In our families. Making Magic instructs you how to begin to walk in your life in a sacred way. I can’t wait to share this book and its profoundly beautiful practices with my students!” ―Sarah Bamford Seidelmann, shamanic healer and life coach, author of The Book of Beasties and Swimming with Elephants “Put down everything you’ve been told about magic―that it’s arcane, occult, and forgotten in the mists of time. Then pick up Making Magic. Here you will discover that magic is alive. She is fresh and new, fluid and flexible, and a totally natural and normal part of an everyday life―your everyday life. And the best part? You will remember that the magician is you.” ―Janet Conner, author of Writing Down Your Soul, creator and host of the Praying at the Speed of Love podcast “Making Magic is a wonderful walk through a world that makes everything seem a bit brighter; a shimmer suddenly catches our hearts and minds where before there was darkness. Briana Saussy teaches what magick can be in our lives―an undercurrent of joy at the smallest of occurrences, or the rush when we realize our unlimited potential in creating our own kingdom right here on earth.” ―Damien Echols, New York Times bestselling author of Life After Death and High Magick “This is a book for those seekers who wish to remember and recover their magic.
