The Witch of the Forest's Guide to Natural Magick and Month 2 of Lovely Lloyd Living by Life-changing Literature.
So for February I attempted to live by the book - Succeeding with Adult ADHD. You probably saw the elaborate sticker collection that I now own 😅. This was a heavy text with a lot of goal setting and actioning. It was helpful. Probably the best thing I learnt was that if a concept or strategy works for a bit but stops being effective, you aren't failing. You just park it, try something else and come back to it in a couple of weeks
Soooooo after a very detail oriented month I decided to try an easy read for March. At least that is what I thought until I dug a little deeper. This is a beautiful book, the content is very basic and informative. I think the actual written content would only be able thirty pages but the illustrations are so beautiful and give it a gorgeous coffee table book vibe.
It is noted in the book in relation to a few issues of cultural appropriation, particularly of first nations peoples practice of smudging.
But I don't think that it touches enough on the relationship between witchcraft, colonisation and continuing white supremacy to profit off these. I will continue to do some research as I work with this book and see how we go.
