House
Magic: The Good Witch's Guide to Bringing Grace to Your Space
Published by Conari Books (USA) and Raincoast
Books (Canada) 2001
Book Description
Can a rubber tree placed in the north part of the home bring calm?
Could an aquarium behind the bed inadvertently invite robbers?
Might amber purify a room by transforming negative energy to positive?
In House Magic, Ariana explains these effects and more, introducing
readers to pagan feng shui — Wiccan energy management for the
home. Feng shui, witchcraft, and astrology are already familiar
to many readers, but House Magic is the first book to bring these
practices together. The purpose? To show how, by using a little
bit of each, people can activate positive energy in their homes
and, consequently, in their lives. Fun, playful, and practical,
House Magic explains where not to place certain objects in a room;
links specific astrological signs to decorating styles and habits
of collecting; and shows readers how to create a beautiful space
that attracts positive energy for themselves and their guests
to enjoy.
From Amazon.com:
The idea behind House Magic is simple: "To help you create a beautiful
and loving home that the whole family can enjoy and to which you
can invite company without having to explain yourself!" writes
author Ariana. Talk about practical magic. This good witch's down-to-earth
guide tackles the bane of housekeeping in the opening pages, with
an entire chapter devoted to eliminating clutter--wardrobe excess,
piles of papers, that glut of children's toys, and even those
dust-catching knickknacks. Some of her advice is predictably New
Agey, such as clear "air clutter" with a sage stick. Other times,
she offers common sense: "Deal with mail as soon as possible."
And sometimes, she's superstitious: "It is good advice to keep
the toilet lid down at all times, so you won't flush away your
good fortune." Most of the time, though, Ariana offers a compelling
blend of witch wisdom, pagan feng shui, and astrology, including
advice on color schemes, furniture placement, and how to fill
your home with "auspicious" symbols and objects (such as citrine
clusters, coins, and fish). For the Wiccan inclined, this makes
an excellent housewarming gift, packed with playful yet surprisingly
useful homemaking advice. --Gail Hudson
