I love the easiness of this book. It really takes into account what you need, with minimum effort sometimes. And what a great way to make yourself feel better.
The book is fun, interesting and personally I and a big fan of no spoons.

Its a must for any witch in your life to make her day a little bit easier.

Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for the eARC of this book, however, all thoughts and opinions are my own.

I really enjoyed looking through this. I am someone who really needs lazy witchcraft because I want to practice, but honestly so many things just keep taking up more time and leaving me with not enough for my other interests. Also, as someone who loves spoon theory I can really get behind the spoons here. Once you get some of the basics ready, based on how your day is going you can either do a one spoon spell at night or a three spoon spell on a lazy Sunday afternoon. I also love that most of the items used in the rituals are things that you may either already have floating around the house, are reasonable, or are multi-functional.

I can't wait to see this physically in print. It seems like it's going to be a well-made book with glorious colored illustrations that are cute and on point. It also has some useful basic charts and things that everyone copies down into their BOS every time they start a new one. Overall, I think for those of us who want to do a bit of witchcraft and either are busy or don't know where to start, this is a good place to do it.

This was very informative, even though I’ve been practicing witchcraft for over 10 years, it’s still nice to refresh my knowledge. This book definitely did that, plus it gave me that humph to work on new magic and craft.

As someone who has wanted to look into some rituals, this book was excellent. I am anxious to try some of these. This book was so witty and well illustrated. I can't wait to get my hands on a physical copy (instead of e-copy) so that I can truly dive in.

Interesting book of spells. Each one indicates how much energy goes into them, which is super helpful on those low energy days

Loved! I basically read the book in a night, purchased the necessities on amazon and am ready to start my lazy witchcraft ways. This book really made it easy, with the step by steps and the spoons! The spoons are such a good idea so you know what you are getting into ahead of time!

I’m a long time fan of witchcraft books, and ones that are 1) catered to spoonies, 2) on a proverbial shoestring, and 3) lazy? Count me in.

I loved the spoons per recipe, and the layout was appealing, but this one didn’t really work for me. I don’t know if it was due, in part, to the awkwardly placed swear words, but I found it all a little cringe and wasn’t able to connect with the message (this isn’t anything against the book, it was me).



Thank you to Fair Winds Press and NetGalley for the PDF

As a spoonie witch, teacher, and new mom this book is going to be immensely helpful in keeping me regular in my practice, no matter what the day was like!

I’ve followed Andrea Samayoa of Moon Street Kits on TT for a while now and was excited to see she was putting out a book. Imagine my surprise when it popped up on NetGalley! It was an instant download. So with that, thank you NetGalley and Fairwinds Press for the opportunity to read and review this book!

The illustrations are beautiful! I also love how blunt and to the point all the included information is along with keeping it simplistic for beginners.

I can’t wait to own a physical copy!

This book is a true gem for anyone who's interested in witchcraft but finds themselves too tired or overwhelmed to commit to traditional, time-consuming rituals. Andrea Samayoa’s Lazy Witchcraft for Crazy, Shtty Days* is exactly what the title suggests: practical, easy spells and rituals for those days when life is just too much.

The writing is down-to-earth and humorous, making you feel like you’re getting advice from a friend. The gorgeous illustrations add a magical touch, making it a joy to flip through. Whether you're new to witchcraft or just need something simple for rough days, this book is a must-have. It's fun, accessible, and empowering. Highly recommend!

NetGalley review
4.5 rating

This was a cute, fun read. I enjoyed the authors sense of humor the layout, and the fact that they covered the basics leaving a food foundation for their concepts within the book. Definitely 4.5 rating.

Easy to read, beautiful illustrations and useful alternatives for people on a budget. I can't wait to try these spells, following the clear instructions. Would recommend for anyone , and would also make a great gift.

This book is an extremely useful and well-laid out guide to spells and magick for the those who may be time and energy poor or just needing a more relaxed and minimal method to help achieve their spiritual goals. Andrea covers everything you need to know from basics, correspondences and easy substitutions to a range of spells across topics including healing, self-love, protections, and energy. Each of these spells are accompanied by gorgeous watercolour style illustrations throughout and a 'spoon rating' which provides a measure of the amount of energy required for each spell. The book is written in a very laid back and witty manner, providing a calming and relaxed atmosphere, which is deeply contrasted to many other books on the market. I am excited to purchase a physical copy of this book once it is released and I hope that Andrea releases more books of a similar style in the future.

Thank you NetGalley, Fair Winds Press and Andrea Samayoa for an ARC of this gorgeous book!

I am a big fan of the author and their no frills, easy spell craft, with no guilt or making you feel like you cannot be a “proper” witch without all the bells and whistles.

I loved the ease, the inclusion of spoons, the simple descriptions that just made it easy.

Fantastic book. I was lucky to get an earc, and I have already preordered the physical book for my library. A must read.

As someone who has always been interested in witchcraft but never knew where to start, I found this book fantastic. Nothing was overly complicated and it was easy to follow.
Great for all beginners as materials, spells and information is explained well.
The writing feels as if it’s your best friend telling you everything you need to know. however it does contain a lot of swear words so if that offends you, this book might not be for you.

The illustrations in this book were beautiful and it was so informative! No gatekeeping here. I absolutely loved the spoon ratings and the zero spoon options. There’s a spell for anything in here. I’ll be purchasing a physical copy for reference when it comes out.

As a dabbler in spells and ritual, a big turn off for me has always been the seemingly precious and gate-keepy way that practice has always been treated. As an open practice based on intention, the physically and mentally time consuming nature of setting up altars, calling the four corners etc. always seemed like a huge deterrent. What about people who do not have the resources (time, money, ability, focus)? The answer to that is this book and this style of practice.

Like a good beginner cookbook, this spellbook starts with the basics and makes magick accessible for anyone from anywhere. Recognizing that intention is what matters, Samayoa guides the reader though what one needs to know, gather and consider when casting. Using readily available spell ingredients and equipment (with safety always in mind) this book makes a fantastic reference for practitioners new and experienced. The pictures are lovely, the layout intuitive and easy to reference, the book is a treat just to read.

This is a chronically ill pagan's best friend. The book is beautifully illustrated. It contains all of the useful charts you could imagine- what colors, crystals, and herbs to use for certain intentions, moon phases, etc. It even has adorable spoon level charts next to each spell!! For example, a super easy low-effort spell would be 1 spoon, but one which takes a lot of energy would be 4 spoons. I'm obsessed and will be recommending it to all of my witchy friends.

From a young age, I've always been interested in witchcraft. There was something about it that interested me. I think the movie Practical Magic is to thank for that. I always loved the line "Always throw spilt salt over your left shoulder, keep rosemary by your garden gate, plant lavender for luck, and fall in love whenever you can." It always felt like magic and love came hand in hand. I've found very few guides over the years that I've connected to. But this is one of them.

I enjoyed how this book apologized for nothing. It was crass yet thorough. The art style felt warm and inviting. On each page it was detailed, and giving substitutions for things you might night have was helpful. Each spell seemed like it was geared toward light and helpfulness. I didn't see any that brought any kind of ill will. Just a healthy dose of mind your business and give me space. And as someone with ADHD, I think I could definitely use the Anti-Procrastination Oil.

Alongside the spells in this book there was also bits that taught you about the moon and crystals. All in all I really liked this guide and I'll be suggesting it for a book order in the future.

Nice book, fabulous drawings. It is a step by step guide on how to. It's just not for me unfortunately.
