If, like me, you find magic to be a source of healing, you will refer to this book again and again whenever you need to lean on something to get through the tough stuff.

"--Madame Pamita, author of Baba Yaga's Book of Witchcraft andThe Book of Candle Magic "There is a hunger for books about mental health and resilience that are written from a pagan perspective, and we should all be grateful that Deborah Castellano is adding to this body of knowledge.She alternates between coaching readers on the sheer mental fortitude needed to begin to recover and taking a deep dive into a particular esoteric approach to crisis.
