Magic & Manifesting for Grownups

I’m on Cat’s email list & discovered this shining jewel of a book a couple of days ago. I’ve read it during a bedridden afternoon, and know I will refer to it & read it many more times. More importantly I will put the contents to practical use.

The author’s use of language is compelling & delightful. Whilst the concepts within are not new to me, the interwoven stories from the authors life & references to other texts both ancient & modern made it feel like a new adventure.

I’ve sampled work from most of the well known metaphysical teachers & coaches, which has mostly left me without a complete picture.

That is very definitely not the case here.

You can’t sanitise magic. This is manifestation for grownups.

PS. I rarely feel compelled to write reviews.

You are the creator of your life

In less than 200 pages Cat takes you deep into her darkest time and how she faced the monster within and survived. This book is full of magical synchronicity and has several exercises to help with your own healing. As a holistic ascension/reiki healer, I have used some of the tools in the book before, but Cat presents it in a way any level of witch can resonate with.

A nifty little book about self centering, focus and personal growth. Like sticky notes of support all crammed into one novel with a touch of story sprinkled in. A touch biased and gloat-y, but otherwise supportively gleanable.

Found it on a christian thrift store shelf. Interesting literary choice for such an environment, but here we are.

Alchemy Made Easy!

Cat Howell did a wonderful job making what could be a rather complex subject—relatable and easy to understand. Her writing style is engaging. I read it in one sitting.

amazing

Absolutely loved this book, so much sense. I feel confident about all the things I felt I already knew but didn’t fully listen to, now I’ve had that push to fully trust my instincts.?

Interesting but not a book I enjoyed

The author weaves a story of her life and her use of magic. The concepts of magic are rooted in some science.
Not sure this book had a purpose other than her documenting some elements of her life.

This book is just a cheap offer to get you in to her sales funnel. Read Libre Null or Condensed Chaos or anything else if you have an interest in Magick.

If you just have an interest in the author then this book is for you..

Magic And Mirrors

Thank you for reminding me that there is magic everywhere. I particularly needed a reminder that life is a mirror. Everything we generate is reflected back to us.

Cat has a great way of explaining manifesting without coming across as New Age or arcane. She's more on the science end of this and makes no pretenses that this is all chemicals in our brains perceiving sensory input and converting them into other chemical reactions we refer to as emotions.

Her methods for manifesting are sound. One thing that made my head explode was her simple delineation of emotions vs. their opposites. I do disagree with a few of her conclusions. To me, the opposite of love is selfishness, not depression. Depression can be caused by a host of internal and external factors.

However, I do agree and strongly relate to one of her emotional pairings, as it is my issue: Feeling trapped/Stuck is the other side of feeling Secure.

Overall, this is a very hard truth approach to manifesting. Not to disparage some of the greats, like "Think and Grow Rich" or "The Strangest Secret", but the modern language Cat Howell uses makes this more accessible today. What I mean by that is, she is writing from an internet age, not from a time when men were the only ones working. The Strangest Secret is excellent and the advice is spot on, but I can only read so much about the "man of the household" and the "homemaker wife".
