This was an interesting take on the idea of journaling for self-healing. It obviously has a very specific audience, but I think even those without the same beliefs as those imparted in the book could get some benefit from using words in this way. Everyone knows that the act of putting words down on paper can be cathartic, and this book helps put that concept into a framework. It's also beautifully designed and produced. Even if you don't believe in the power of words to heal, if you're even slightly into the idea of journaling, I think there's a lot to gain from a book like this.

'The Magical Writing Grimoire' is a guide on how to use the art of writing to magick healing and self-care into your life. There are many rituals and ideas included in this book which can help you to release emotions and conjure catharsis whether that’s via journaling, poetry, spell casting, incantations, or any other written means. Those familiar with Lisa Marie Basile will know that she is something of a spiritual scribe herself, who has infused the written with the witchy through her various publications and most obviously with Luna Luna Magazine (which she founded). What I most appreciate about Basile’s work is that she has used writing as a form of self-empowerment so that it takes on a more ritualized form to express one’s light and shadows. Writing is personal, but it can be life changing when it has intention and purpose- the core of what magic is all about.

This book is best appreciated when actually used. Try the rituals. Make your own. Write down the contents of your head. Transcribe your heart.

'The Magical Writing Grimoire' is unique and inspirational. It’s witchy (which is really just about embracing the entirety of who you are) without being kitschy. It’s smart and creative and will hopefully encourage you to put pen to paper or finger to screen...it certainly has for me.

This is a good book to inspire you to write and convince you of the benefits of keeping a journal. I liked some of the ideas and meditations, and some didn't resonate with me. But it is such a comprehensive book that it is easy to pick and choose what to focus on. The background of magic is really nice and makes it feel special, less ordinary. I think it is an imaginative book, full of prompts and ideas that will get your creative juices flowing, resolve some of your blocks and issues, and will put some magic back in your life.

The Magical Writing Grimoire is an interesting written journey illuminated by guided meditations, journaling prompts, and accessible ritual

The book teaches you how to write your own spells while teaching you to learn to write for healing. It's a self-help book encompassing all that is essential - rituals for healing, ways to write love and support for others, moon phases, etc. It stresses the importance of mental preparation and creating a sacred space where you can work.

It's a very detailed instructional book that is easy to follow. I did not however care too much for the graphics in the book itself. One area I did find interesting was the Tarot Writing Ritual to bring about understanding our vision and the drive behind it.

Definitely recommend it.
