7 Days of Magic

7 Days of Magic: Spells, Charms and Correspondences for the Bewitching Week
By: Ellen Dugan

Enchantment is not limited to the Sabbats and the occasional full moon. Magic happens all the time and every day. 7 Days of Magic demonstrates how to successfully apply the specific magical energies of each day into spells, charms, and rituals.

Forget about memorizing massive correspondence charts. This practical, easy to use guide encourages readers to learn at their own pace. Every chapter one for each day of the week contains a small table of magical correspondences (planetary influence and symbol, deities, flowers and plants, metals, colors, crystals and stones, Tarot cards, herbs and spices), which are talked about in depth within seven distinct sections. Each chapter ends with a magickal potpourri of sample spells and rituals.

Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly
Magic doesn't have to be just for holy days and Sabbats, says Dugan, a self described "garden witch" who has practiced witchcraft for 15 years. Magic can also bring energy to everyday life, and can punctuate the rhythm of days and weeks. This well-designed book features seven chapters, one for each day of the week, and (you guessed it) seven divisions within each chapter, as Dugan highlights aspects of each day: accessories; applications and attributes; deities; plants and flowers; colors, candles and crystals; tarot associations; and foods and spices. Pagan readers will appreciate the step by step approach and the detailed information about the history and lore of the days of the week (all hail Woden and Thor!). Friday, which is named after the Norse goddess of love, turns out to be a special time for romance, so Dugan offers the expected passion and fertility spells. This book will be useful to novice practitioners, who may find it a winsome invitation to incorporating magic into daily life, and to women who are interested in Wicca. There is little here that is original, but the books layout is attractive and Dugans writing style is hip and on target for her audience (Lilith, for instance, is described as 'the original bad ass chick').
