This was not quite what I was looking for but it was interesting to read. I can see how this might be helpful to people who want to learn more about astrology, tarot and other methods that can be implemented in daily self-care practices.

Good but the second half became too theoretical and wasn’t grounded in many actual tools or practices so it started to drag.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
4 stars.
Spoilers ahead. I will not reveal anything big - most of the review vaguely alludes to plot, structure, and characters.

This was a great introductory book for those looking to integrate metaphysical/magical practices into their self-care routine. The sections were well laid out and well-explored without being too overwhelming. I do think this leans more young adult or new adult in its language and complexity. I appreciated how open Scelsa was about their own struggles and how integrating these practices has helped them. I also really, REALLY appreciated how these practices are presented as methods of self-development and reflection, rather than a magical cure-all. Overall, it is definitely worth reading for anyone who is looking for new methods of self care, who have an interest in the magical borders of our world. You don't have to believe in magic or tarot or anything to get something out of this book, either.
