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.
