Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for giving me this eARC to review. Sadly the content within this book is not good for my mental health which I did not realise at the time so I am very sorry for that! I will give this 3 Stars as I couldn't review it properly. Apologies again!

I really wanted to like this book. In theory, it's a great idea — witchcraft and holistic living should be completely compatible. The author even has some life experience and training to back up skills she outlines. I just personally didn't find this book to quite live up to its intention. The spells were a bit cookie-cutter and one-note, and definitely written more for a Wiccan practice (The "so mote it be's" that ended every spell was the first clue). There's nothing inherently wrong with that, but non-Wiccan witches may find the conflation to be agitating — as we know, all Wiccans are witches, but not all Witches are Wiccan. I think the thing that really put the nail in the coffin for me was the repeated comments on Divine Feminine: If your witchcraft book talks about rituals for the Divine Feminine and there's an absence of rituals for Divine Masculine but you're making a point to say "despite your gender expression/identity" then that means you're assuming that the audience of your work is only femme. That to me seems a lot like virtue signaling. I'm also not a huge fan of the "love yourself before you can do good magic/love others/etc" message — I've felt my spells work just fine in spite of my diagnosed mental illnesses, thank you.

It's an okay book, but don't let it become gospel to your life or your craft.

Krystle L. Jordan’s book: The Witch’s Guide to Wellness is an excellent book which gives the reader unique practices and wellness inspired spells. This book describes a plethora of wellbeing techniques, which encourage better physical, mental and spiritual health. I thoroughly enjoyed this book, and found myself interested in the multiple witchy practices, such as journaling, tea blends and jar spells. I think that the author did a great job as structuring this book and they provided accessible alternatives to each technique and exercise. For example: I felt that if I did not have any of the required materials that I could swap them for another similar resource.
My only downfall is that the book would have be better if it delved into more practical guidance on wellbeing, perhaps the author could have shared some of their own experiences with the spells and practices included. The entirety of this book created a tone of compassion for ourselves and for the earth. Pages such as information on sustainability were included etc. This book is filled with informative but kind language which educates the reader on taking better care of themselves through the use of witchcraft. My favourite part of this book was specifically the tea blend section.
Personally, I believe that this book is an important inclusion to the witchcraft community. Because of it’s up to date instruction. Overall, I found this book to be everything and more that I was expecting it to be. Both whimsical and informative at the same time. I would recommend this book for anyone who wishes to learn more about wellness spells, and techniques within the witchcraft community. Thankyou to Netgalley, Krystle L. Jordan and Adams Media for the DRC!

One of the best craft guidebook I have read in a long time. Perfect tips and spells in using your craft for self care. Will highly recommend.

4 stars - It was really good

The Witch’s Guide to Wellness is a guidebook to become a healthier version of yourself by using the craft. This covers spells, rituals, potions, and food that target wellness in your home, your mind and your body.

By providing a well rounded mixture of rituals and spells, Jordan targets any aspect of your life that you may need help with, whether physically or mentally. Included in this book are pouches, mists, sachets, oils, and jar spells that allow for a variety of options for tackling your health. This is very helpful because it makes it easier to choose what works best for you and ones that you have the ingredients for.

This book also provides daily journal and affirmations prompts at the end of each chapter to target physical, mental, and spiritual wellness. This is a wonderful addition because a lot of people struggle with journaling because they don’t know where to start, myself included.

Overall, this was a very helpful book. If you are looking to improve your mental and physical health with your practice then I suggest picking up this book. Remember though, this isn’t a magical fix for mental and physical health issues so please also seek professional help if needed.

I enjoyed this book and actually recommended it to others in a group for when it came out. I am not new to this spiritual world but I think it's a wonderful way to look at the spiritual path and incorporate it into the basic of everyday life, all the way down to the mundane task of cleaning. It's not that the concepts were new it's just a different perspective. Everyone should have a way to incorporate their own path into their everyday life all the way down to taking a walk, feeding the dog, or cleaning the toilet. Enjoyed it. I have a new way of viewing things.
