I absolutely adored this title by Ember Grant and will be returning to it for years to come (I will most definitely be purchasing a hard copy once released!). Myths surround us and we can apply their lessons to our contemporary lives. Although I was familiar with many of the myths, there were many that were new to me and that I will read over and over again. Thank you for writing such a gem of a book! I received this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I really enjoyed this book. It details how myth is relevant to our lives and how actually reading them ans studying them it can help us to make our lives more happy and fulfilling. The book is written in a conversational tone that made me want to read what I thought were boring old myths . I came to find out they held keys that our ancestors realized had profound meaning. This book is meant to be actually worked with. I have something fun to look forward to as my days progress and I see where I fit in. This book is excellent!!

There is one way to describe Mythology for a Magical Life - and it's "magical". Other words would be "transforming" "intelligent" "bestowed" are all great descriptors of Ember Grant's work. I truly believes if we open our eyes to the mystical, we will live a more authentic life for it, and this book will take you there.

This book is a gem, though I would not go so far as to say it is a necessity. Wonderful book to build an early collection around, and an easy way to give a simple start to those curious about witchcraft. Lots of the information here is reiterating something, but the author has a refreshingly approachable voice and curates all of the information effectively. I look forward to seeing if they do justice to its physical format, I don't believe digital will be the way to go with this one.

These myths were beautiful, and mostly new to me. I also loved how the author drew specific connections to different types of magic and themes. I got a lot out of the activities suggested after each myth about how to draw out the magic of that particular myth.

If you're feeling a little confused, stuck or low-spirited in your occult practices when confronted with the apathy of the so-called modern world maybe this interesting book about how to incorporate mythology into your esoteric views will shine light on you. Because myths are eternal, truths in them are working on several levels of our beings. This book will bring you great support in that way. It is beautiful when we finally understand that magic was with us from the start in those probably dusty tomes of mythology hidden somewhere in the attic or else...It's time to draw them again, but this time with new understanding. Because this book is for beginners also we can understand that text is in a few places little too much buried in rules about magical techniques. In general, if you want that mythology support and refresh your soul for magic get this book. Thanks.

'Mythology for a Magical Life' explores mythology as it relates to magical practice. Myths are stories that help us to forge deeper connections with ourselves, spirit, and the world. Like magic, myth speaks to us on a spiritual level where symbols, metaphors, and imagination can be used to peer behind the veil of our reality. This book provides many myths from different cultures and a discussion on the themes explored. Spells, rituals, affirmations, meditations, and visualizations are included as exercises to help you develop your magical skills, by tapping into the wisdom teachings of each myth.

I enjoyed this book and thought it did a good job at bridging the gap between mythology and magic. There are countless mythologies from around the world that have yet to be reinterpreted from a more magical perspective, so I hope the author will write more books on the subject.

“Myth is the foundation of life; it is the timeless pattern, the pious formula, into which life flows when it reproduces its traits out of the unconscious.” Thomas Mann

It’s an very nice collection of several myths / stories that will make you wonder and see things sometimes differently after reading it.

Magic can be found in the smallest things in life 💕

If you want to find out more about myths than this book is definitely an recommendation
