"Life Ritualized" is a book written by Phoenix LeFae and Gwion Raven that provides advice and guidance on how to honor important moments in life in a ritualistic and spiritual way.
The book addresses a wide variety of celebrations and rituals.
The authors share a variety of ritual practices and tips to help you celebrate moments in a meaningful and reverent way. Also included are stories and anecdotes that help illustrate how these rituals can help deepen your connection to life and your spirituality.

This is a gorgeous book about ritual and the incorporation of virtual into our every day lives, something that is talked about a lot in spiritual books but isn’t really discussed as it is in this book. I love how the authors really took to talking about ritual and ritual in real life and it felt like a very cohesive and informational piece. I think this is a very beneficial book for those interested and it’s not like anything else I’ve seen on the market yet.

Simple & short. Good book about perspective and how you can add more intention to everyday life. Loved the many options they offered.

Finally a great book on the Path that isn't either full of nonsense or specialized and hard to follow. I loved this book!

A good book, very useful as a reference guide or if you are new to the Path.
I liked the style of writing and the author does a good job in explaining the rituals
Recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine

This is a good reference guide to rituals. It give an overview of rituals and goes over the basics, including tools and techniques. It goes into the rituals and I think is a good starting point for making it work for you.

Simple to understand book that gives instruction on specific rituals and rites. It was very clear. It's a great reference book to keep on hand

Life Ritualized: A Witch’s Guide to Honoring Life’s Important Moments by Phoenix LeFae and Gwion Raven is a wonderful read for expanding your perspective on what a ritual is and how it can serve purposes beyond the traditional associations. The book is separated into nine (9) chapters and flows from the more common ritual uses to those that clearly exemplify the concept that all acts are sacred and all markers of those actions can be celebrated and honored in a way befitting living a magickal life 24/7-365days a year.

The Introduction gives the reader a reminder of how the illusion of connectivity in our modern world serves to disconnect us from the ceremony and sacredness of our existence and, in particular, those rites of passage as markers of our growth are a calling to reclaim the mystery inherent in ritual…

…The liturgy of rituals, the practices of rites of passage and the actions of ceremony have a level of mystery built into them in plain sight, but most folks don’t notice. It is those gaps between what is written and known, unwritten and unknown, where mystery lives and where rites of passage get their power…Introduction

Chapters One and Two provide the basics of ritual, its use and tools and techniques that flow through ritualized action. There are several protocol included in Chapter One: How to Use This Book that cover a variety of traditions’ workings and some specific to certain types of Witchcraft. Grounding and centering, casting a circle and other components of ritual are included, as well as post-ritual activities and correspondences that can be employed in finessing and fine-tuning for the intention of any ritual.

Chapter Two: Defining Rites of Passage gives a broad overview of how ritual has been used to honor specific biological stages, such as birth and death. The discussion of liminal space-the overlapping of two distinct periods of change- and the innate knowledge that accompanies that these are times of crossing thresholds is used as a catalyst for training oneself to become aware of these moments and the potential they hold for formally honoring them in ritual. The chapter concludes with several rituals that can be used by the reader as they embark on the journey of exploring moments and catalysts for ritual in all aspects of their life.

The subsequent chapters bring into focus those lesser imagined times that lend themselves to ritual. These include Rites of birth, personal identity, loss, graduations and spirituality. Each chapter begins with a section entitled “What These Rites Have in Common”, which further creates the dynamics of threads of commonality and connection inherent in all rituals.

Chapter Four: Rites for Leveling Up includes a ritual for Obtaining a Driver’s License as well as Vehicle Protection and a New Car Blessing. I particularly enjoyed the ritual for Empty Nesting in Chapter Six: Rites of Loss. This was bittersweet having had 5-children a year apart, which meant empty nest maximizing for my husband and I as they all left in a short period of time. And, although we felt the loss at the time, I would never had thought to ritualize it!

Chapter Eight: DIY Rituals encourages the reader to explore their own ways of crafting ritual and finding meaning in what would often be overlooked. The final Chapter Nine: Final Thoughts about Rites of Passage-What Does It All Mean? is a fitting conclusion to the overall intention of the book.

Would I Recommend:

Life Ritualized: A Witch’s Guide to Honoring Life’s Important Moments by Phoenix LeFae and Gwion Raven is one of those books that reminds us all to celebrate more and to see the sacred in all. This is a book that that you will return to frequently. There are more than thirty (30) rituals contained; each unique and simple in its outline that can be used ready-made. But more importantly, there is enough substance in the book that just in the reading, ideas and inspiration begins to flow and you find yourself looking for opportunities to make application, share the joy and sorrow and begin to imagine a new way of honoring all that your life is comprised of. Thumbs up and gratitude for this title!

I would conclude on this note…

… By creating rituals, honoring your life changes, and celebrating those you love and in community with, you also add to raising the vibrational levels of all of humanity. Truly there is no greater work that you can do as an individual than to serve the world around you. By celebrating yourself, you do that very thing…Chapter Nine

This book is perfect for beginner and veteran witches. This book is very inclusive which is refreshing.

Thank you to the Publisher and Netgalley for the advanced e-reader copy. All opinions expressed are my own.

Decent look at some rituals you have likely seen in other books - but authors take - with some rituals one may not think about. Good for those who are ritual focused.

This book is all about how to commemorate rites of passage in your daily life. It gives instructions on specific rituals but also why rituals are done and the basics of setting them up. One really nice thing is that there are so many and a lot of correspondences are included so even if for some reason your specific right of passage isn't here, you can easily modify one of the other rituals. The rituals are simple and I absolutely love that! I have looked at ritual books before and everything was so complicated I knew I would never actually complete any of them. These are all simple enough to be practical. An excellent reference book to have, you may not need all of the rituals in the book, but you will loving having this on hand in case you need ideas.

This book is very complete. It has clear and concise instructions for following lifes events and how to ritualize them. It is perfect for the new witch as well as established witches. I found this book to be extremely helpful.

I don't think witchcraft is for me.

This is the first book of it's kind that I've picked up, so I wasn't sure what to expect. I was hoping the 'rituals' would be more heart based, but unfortunately I found them to come more from a place of ego.

Driving test chant. Getting a Job Ritual. This book wasn't for me. I'm not a fan of the inability to relinquish control. However I do have some general constructive criticism.

I understand this is an unedited arc but I do hope the formatting and overall aesthetic gets a good revamp. The walls and walls of never ending text make this book feel stagnant and tiresome to read. Even if I was interested in learning and practising these rituals, I probably still wouldn't, as I would struggle to focus with all the blocks of text.

Lots of great details in this book! I really appreciated how the authors walked the reader through the various steps of the ritual flow before launching into the rituals themselves. I also loved the wide range of life events that the authors covered, especially as many of them are "non-traditional" and always get left out of things like this. It was so wonderful to read a book that was inclusive of all life experiences and personal journeys.
