A bit of a memoir, a bit of a how to, a bit of a spell book. All interesting but it just didn't call to me.
It is evident that this book has been crafted with immense care and love, and this sentiment shines through on every page. The introduction itself weaves a captivating story of the book's origin, demonstrating how it not only honors the author's mentor but also embodies a life filled with magic.
There is an abundance of treasures within this book, catering to a wide range of interests and experiences. Every reader is bound to find something that deeply resonates with them, making it an enriching and fulfilling read.
Personally, I fell in love with this book and found it to be a remarkable addition to its genre. Its heartfelt approach and the touch of magic woven throughout make it a truly special and memorable experience. #ABoxofMagick #NetGalley
Good book to read. 5 star book
Not sure who to recommend this book to
Might reread it later on in the year
Okay, so this is a very basic witchcraft book for neophyte witches, but what I loved about it was how the author weaves in a touching memoir of her teacher throughout. A worthwhile read if you're new to witchcraft and looking for some inspiration and wisdom.
Sweet book about a friend/teacher relationship into each woman's journey. My copy was one of those you have to read on either your phone or the computer and I hate those but still read this one. So that's saying something.

ARC NETGALLEY REVIEW
Well written and complicated of the most important information for any beginner or anyone wanting more references sources in their bookcase. The author lack nothing when she tells her own story to better help you see context to material within the book. Very unique approach to a book of this type.
This book is a beautifully written reflection of the authors path into witchcraft after inheriting her mentors notebooks after her death.
The book is heavily Wiccan in tone which is understandable as she was initiated into a Wiccan practice.
This may not be the right book for those looking for a "how to" guide or reference book as the author weaves a biographical element through the text but having said that there is a lot of fantastic information to be gleaned from the book.
While I appreciate the opportunity, I will not be reviewing this title. I couldn't get into the book.
A Box of Magick was part reflective and part guided journey to exploring magic in your own life. With the author's own personal experiences shaping the layout, it felt like she was trying to take you on that journey with her own exploration of magical practices. I would have liked to see more practical applications for a reference book, but what was there was very well done. Overall, an interesting read.
This was a NetGalley review.
This book is written with so much care and love, you can read it on every page. I loved how the introduction weaves a story of how this book and the title came to be and how it represents not only the author's mentor's life but a life of magic. This book has so much to offer; anyone who is interested would surely be able to find something in this book that resonated with them. I love this book and what a tremendous addition to the genre!
Interesting read and would recommend this reference book to new witches. Writing style was easy going and a decent guide.
I enjoyed this book very much. I loved the relationship between the author and Connie. It made me feel like I knew Connie too. Their shared love of the craft was quite apparent. The book was well written in a down-to-earth manner. An excellent read! I voluntarily read this book via NetGalley in exchange for my honest opinion.
This book is a gift to all witches! It's beautifully written, and makes you feel good. A Box of Magic is a cornucopia of information valuable to Any practitioner of magic regardless of your chosen path. This one on one style writing is particularly helpful to a newer witch. I highly recommend this treasure to all!
This is a very thorough and practical book teaching one how to have a magical life daily. From the everyday chores to the rituals of magic there are steps to take and learning the reasons for them. After reading this book I feel confident in making Magick part of my life.
A Box of Magick by Jamie Della will be a wonderful addition to the bookshelves of practitioners old and new alike. This book feels like a one on one guide through settling into a practical daily routine of magic and opportunity.
I loved it from the beautiful intro, and then the first paragraphs of chapter 1 cemented my joy for this book. What if it’s the spirit of the lavender oil pulling us into its state of calm — yesss! The cosmic language of energy and vibration is the language I know best ✨ I’ve tried Abhyanga a dozen times ish, but after years, I’ve been thinking about it a lot lately and this seems to be my sign to rekindle this practice. The stories and lessons, the moon, tarot, circles, blessings and rituals, all the things are touched on in her lyrical way, sharing conversations and experiences. Plus, with a dose of magical synchromysticism, I read this on my way to Mexico. Bravo!
