As a huge fan of Jennie Blonde's Comfy Cozy Witch Podcast, I had high expectations for The Comfy Cozy Witch's Guide to Making Magic in Your Everyday Life, and I’m thrilled to say that this book exceeded them all. Jennie’s warm, inviting voice shines through on every page, making it feel like a comforting conversation with a close friend.

This beautifully illustrated guide is perfect for both beginners and seasoned witches alike. Jennie’s seven tenets—Acceptance, Simplicity, Balance, Delight, Warmth, Reflection, and Intuition—provide a solid foundation for developing an authentic and nurturing witchcraft practice. I found the exercises, meditations, and self-care practices particularly insightful, helping me to ground myself and find balance in my daily life.The book is filled with spells, magical journaling prompts, recipes, and DIY tips that bring a cozy, comforting vibe to your practice.

It’s a treasure trove of practical advice and creative inspiration, all presented in a way that makes magic feel accessible and deeply personal.If you’re looking to infuse your everyday life with a bit of magic, or if you simply want a book that feels like a warm hug, I highly recommend The Comfy Cozy Witch's Guide to Making Magic in Your Everyday Life. Jennie Blonde has once again created something truly special that I know I’ll return to time and time again.

What a delight of a book! Jennie Blonde has done it again with her newest title, The Comfy Cozy Witch's Guide to Making Magic in Your Everyday Life. An excellent follow-up to Hearth and Home Witchcraft, this second book begins to flesh out the author's own brand of "comfy cozy witchcraft" into an actual practice you can follow. Built around "7 Tenets of Comfy Cozy Witchcraft/Magic" - 1. Acceptance, 2. Simplicity, 3. Reflection, 4. Delight, 5. Warmth, 6. Balance, 7. Intuition - Blonde gives us a working framework on which to shape a magical practice that is fulfilling, filled with delight, and above all, comfy cozy.

In the second part of the book, the author offers words on beginning to make your own magic. She goes through creating Sacred Space, various types of altars, and (my favorite part) Daily Ritual, which offers inspiration for creating intentional practice out of even the most mundane things, such as your morning shower, or how you prepare a meal. The author's instruction on creating personal correspondences is also excellent.

This would be an excellent starting point for someone who is just starting to dabble in a witchy/magical practice, or for someone who is looking for a way to reconnect with their already existing magical practice, and re-enliven it. I felt a strong connection with the author's tale of her own experience, and I feel confident many other readers will also find it resonates with their own experience. This is a gem of a book.

Thank you to both the author and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review this title before publication.

This is a beginner's guide to witchy magick. There's nothing new here if you've already read other baby witch books. It's also not particularly cozy, unless just being a witch is cozy? That said, it's well written and as good as any other beginner witch book. I picked it up thinking it would be about cozy witchcraft (that it would have recipes for tea mixes and hot cocoa mixes, essential oil combinations for various uses like massaging tired muscles, tincture suggestions, sachet ideas, simmer pot ideas, bath bomb recipes, etc.), so I was disappointed -- there was a little bit of that, but not much. If you choose it knowing it's for beginners, you'll likely enjoy it. There's basic information on tarot, moon phases, seasons, witchy holidays, ingredients, gems and minerals, and more.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an ARC.

The Comfy Cozy Witch’s Guide to Making Magic in your Everyday Life is a lovely resource for all, from baby witches just starting out to more seasoned witches co like myself! It is chocked full of a spectrum of tools and recipes to use for rituals and spells. It feels like it would be accessible to anyone interested in testing the witchy waters and it truly does feel “cozy” when flipping through the pages. I love it!

This is a book that makes practicing magic, Wiccan, and Witch rituals accessible to anyone who might have the interest. It's not dark, it's well done, and really essentially for the beginner. What I loved, though, was that it wasn't heavy spells, etc., that might turn off someone looking into bringing a little magic into their life. I enjoyed this book and am going to order a copy for my daughter.

Thank you to Harper One and Net Galley for a digital ARC of this title in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are my own.

If you're looking for a book that explains all the ins and outs of how to be a witch this is for you, We watch and learn about witches and their connection to the world, but this book gives an in-depth look of what that really looks like.

This is a nice basic intro to witchcraft for those who are new to the topic. I am not Wiccan but I’m quite familiar with its practices. I had hoped for a little more on the cozy side from the title (honestly, words like comfy, cozy and magic in everyday got my hopes up for fun practices I could incorporate) but this is basically just a beginner guide to witchy stuff like crystals, candles, tarot, intentions and so on. I did already know everything she talked about and I don’t know that I would describe anything as particularly comfy or cozy other than perhaps stirring intentions into your morning tea. There are no illustrations or photos. The author seems likable. I am not familiar with her but she talks a lot about her popular podcast and shop. Do not expect anything spectacularly new or novel, but if you are interested in a sweet beginner guide this seems supportive and helpful.

I read a digital copy of this book for review.
