The title of this book is so intriguing. Who thought of going to the grocery store to find magical supplies? The author does a great job of describing how to protect yourself while shopping and how to find new things to try. I am always so happy to see ethics included in magical books. It is such an important reminder for what to do and what not to do.

I really like that everything in the book comes from the supermarket. He even includes a shopping list for the items needed for each chapter. The recipes and meditations are easy to follow and perform. If you like to discover new recipes, this is a good place to start.

If you are witch you have seen the spell and ritual books that call for insane ingredients and shopping lists that are 5 miles long. This is not that book. This book is about the simple everyday magic that is found everywhere. Need a red candle, stop by the in aisle 5 and pick up a package of birthday candles, while you are in the aisle go to the end and pick up some sage from the dried herb and spices area.
