This book has a lot of really useful information and it really helps. You learn how to discern credible sources on witchcraft from questionable or even false material. The only reason I knocked it down a star is because it’s called how to study magic so I thought it was more about how to organize your study of magic which is what I was looking for.

Enchantment. By Dr. Sharon Blackie’s definition, a vivid sense of belongingness to a rich and many-layered world, a profound and whole-hearted participation in the adventure of life. Enchantment is a natural, spontaneous human tendency - one we possess as children, but lose, through social and cultural pressures, as we grow older. It is an attitude of mind which can be cultivated: the enchanted life is possible for anyone. It is intuitive, embraces wonder, and fully engages the mythic imagination - but it is also deeply embodied in ecology, grounded in place and community.

Helped me find re-enchantment post pandemic

Feeling enchanted by life was always part of my core experience but after the lockdowns (and many family tragedies) I found myself feeling numb and disconnected. I hear an inner voice say I needed to re-enchant myself. I searched for a book that could help with that and I found this one. I love it! I listen to it while I walk and I’ve the course of the few months I’ve been listening, I have found myself opening up again to that wonder. I am going to buy the physical book too and go through once more!

Now that Macen "Hammer" Hammerman shares the bond he's long craved with Raine Kendall and his best friend, Liam O'Neill, he should be looking forward to a bright future. But recent trauma has exhumed the demons Hammer thought long buried. He must confront them while Raine fights to forget her past and Liam struggles to keep their new family intact. When a shadowy figure emerges, determined to right old wrongs, he sets in motion a plot that threatens to tear the trio apart forever.

Good plot, sadly riddled with problematic sexism and racism
Reviewed: 06-27-20
I can’t believe how much slut shaming and mysoginy is in this book, particularly in how the female villains are treated. There is also shady non-consensual sex, this whole series starts with a female performing a non-consensual fellatio on male character in his sleep and the narrative shows no self-awareness about it. For a BDSM novel you would think they would be much more sophisticated in the understanding of consent. I liked the plot so it’s really disappointing. Not to mention that all the characters are White af. Heavenly rising, another book written by the same authors, was also so lacking in diversity and the one memorable non-White character was a disgustingly racist caricature of a Mexican man. These authors really need to do a little work on their biases. This crap cannot fly in this day and age
