“Your life is the most important spell you cast.”—Veronica Varlow
In this beguiling guide, Veronica Varlow, the last daughter in a line of Bohemian witches, weaves together witchcraft knowledge and ancient secret spells with an exotic rock-and-roll magick style that has earned her a devoted following worldwide. Drawings, photography, vintage art, and text written in her own hand round out this sumptuous companion filled with spells for everlasting confidence, radiant self-love, healing, manifesting your dreams, and love with a desired partner.
Veronica calls upon the ancient and hidden Czech-Romani magic passed down to from her grandmother Helen’s lineage and infuses it with her own signature sorcery to help you awaken and amplify your truest self. Each spell that you cast, each potion that you brew, and each chant you speak into the universe will rouse the most powerful part of your being, the part that inherently knows how incredible and unstoppable you are when you possess the right tools.
In Part I, The School of Spectaculus, Veronica reveals, step by step, her personally crafted steps to spellcasting with power. She shares her secrets regarding writing and preparing for spells, calling on ancestors to give your spells oomph, and concluding spells properly. She also provides information on when to cast spells and other basics that you need to know to perform the mind-blowing rituals she introduces in Part II.
In Part II, Initiations, she introduces you to the hidden magick of Bohemia. There are five initiations, each focused on a specific themes including self-esteem, healing, self-love, love.
Each initiation begins with an overview on the subject at hand, incorporating her personal wisdom and experience as a healer and sharing stories and images from the extremely popular Witch Camps she leads in upstate New York.
The overview is followed by an experiential journey of discovery, a story in which you are the protagonist, whether following a trail of candles through a dark wood to a river filled with tiny message-filled paper boats or venturing into a tarot parlor on a hot, sultry night to meet a Witch who has come back from the Afterlife to help you find true love.
