Modern Magic by Kirsten Riddle is a refreshingly
simple take on magic for modern times. There are no complicated ingredients, spells
you have to memorize, or any of the other things that make it a little bit too “woo-wooy”
for modern people to want to attempt. If you want an easy to read and fun book
about magic in a modern way, this is the book for you!
Book
Description
“Taking
a wholly original approach to self-improvement, the innate magic within each
person is harnessed in this spiritual survival guide that reveals how to
utilize everyday routines and surroundings in becoming a better version of
oneself.
Offering a modern appeal and quirky sense of fun,
newcomers to the practice of magic or those hesitant to commit to a new
lifestyle will find the book to be a relaxed, welcoming aid that will inspire
confidence in the art.
The author also takes on
existing rituals and magic from different eras and nations and adapts them to
the contemporary reader. Enchantment as part of the everyday and the
incorporation of common objects into magic, including modern technology, is
clearly explained. The book provides instructions on how to manifest what is
needed to fulfill desires and needs, and for individuals to fully embrace the
creative and contemporary aspects of themselves.”

My Thoughts
Modern Magic
is written simply and to the point. It is fun to read and nothing about it
takes too long to understand. It is spiritualism and magic in a very condensed
and fast approach that people can relate to. Don’t think that what you’re
getting isn’t just as powerful as long rituals or ancient spells though, it is,
when done with passion and purpose.
I enjoyed reading this approach to magic and
spiritualism, and find it to be very true to what I believe in as well. It can
be used with everyday activities and items, and it doesn’t have to be drawn out
and complicated to get magical results. If you want a modern book of magic,
this is the one for you. I highly recommend it.

A modern take on magic that doesn't use a ton of spells and stuff I'd never remember or be able to find? Count me in!
