"It is clear when reading The Magical Art of Crafting Charm Bags that Elhoim Leafar knows what magick is, namely 'an ancient and noble force capable of generating all kinds of effects in space and time. He unlocks the keys to this magick providing basic, yet vital, information needed to get started creating altars, talismans, and, ultimately, charm bags. If you are looking for ways to improve and expand your magick this is the book for you."
— Lilith Dorsey, author of "Orishas, Goddesses, and Voodoo Queens", and "Water Magic".
"The Magical Art of Crafting Charm Bags blends multiple cultures into a working system of magical potency. It is a useful grimoire and reference for any magical practitioner. Within its pages, you can learn to put magic in the palm of your hand."
― Adam Sartwell, co-founder of the Temple of Witchcraft and award-winning author of Twenty-One Days of Reiki and The Blessing Cord.
"Elhoim Leafar has created a beautiful, empowering, and immensely accessible manual for crafting charm bags. Teaching simple and effective ways to make charms bags for every purpose under Moon and Sun, these portable powerhouses of magic will enhance your daily life and spiritual practice. I enjoyed using charm bags before, but after reading The Magical Art of Crafting Charm Bags, I absolutely adore them!"

Reading the new NYT article on JK Rowling, and every single top comment agrees with and defends Joanne. This is genuinely making my day - NYT readers are a good sample of your average American Democrat, and they by and large agree that women’s sex based rights must be defended and the modern trans movement is off the rails. I can’t wait to listen to the new podcast. I really feel like this might be the beginning of the tide turning.
These are just a few of the top comments! I’m not filtering out any comments spewing hate, either. They are in the comment section, they just aren’t any of the most liked comments.
