Maria did a wonderful job with this book. I really enjoyed how she started the book, gave us background information on herself and her family. And as she guides you along the book, you get more information. Something’s I thought I knew but was way off and Maria really puts things into perspective. It definitely is worth the read.

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Practically Pagan An Alternative Guide To Magical Living by Maria DeBlassie is a book I wouldn’t have thought to pick up and read – I’m not a practicing magic type of person. However, this book was quite surprising and I made tons of connections within it to my own life. A couple of quotes from the book that spoke to me: “Look for the beauty in the little things too often overlooked in our rush to get from one place to the next.” “The Divine Feminine is the nurturing and creative energy within all of us, regardless of our gener – she represents healthy sexuality and relationships…”
This book is about the five major parts of everyday magic… “radical self-care, routine as ritual, pleasure magic, synchronicity, and exploring the energies of the un/expected.” It talks about tuning into yourself and your connection withe universe instead of manipulating things to get desired outcomes… to trust the path you are on is the correct path. As an educator, wife, mother, woman, the idea of self care and self love is so important. So be okay to find the quiet time to focus and practice listening to your mind, body and spirit.

This book is a great feel-good way to bring magic into your everyday life. It’s also a guide to simply find your way to bring yourself back to taking care of yourself in this world that has a tendency to suck the life right out of you. It isn’t a super hocus pocus flashy book about casting spells and cursing people. This is a book that is more about finding the magic that is all around us in the world and that anyone can harness. As a pagan myself I found it to be a beautiful reminder to slow down and really embrace the beautiful and magical world we live in.

Practically Pagan: An Alternative Guide To Magical Living
By: Maria DeBlassie
Review by: Susan Ratchford
5 Stars

I have been trying to focus more on self love recently and this was just the book I needed to read! I learned alot about myself and wholeheartedly agreed with everything DeBlassie writes about. This book is extremely motivational and uplifting with such a powerful message it brought tears to my eyes. This is not the first book I’ve read by DeBlassie, and I am in love with her tone, style and passion. She is wonderfully talented and has an almost ethereal way of writing. This book truly made me more self aware of things I’ve never given a second thought. I am going to take a lot of her advice to heart and “ Do one thing each day” that makes me happy and believe that it is OK to prioritize myself. Thank you so much Maria DeBlassie for telling me exactly what I needed to hear. I really think your book found me in a time where I thought I was lost. This book is a must read!

I absolutely loved this book. One hundred percent, I recommend this to anyone trying to find their way back to internal happiness and internal peace. The tone of the book to me feels like a patient mother or teaching showing her daughters how to push back societal expectations of women to learn how to find what benefits happiness and peace. She talks about finding your inner Divine Feminine, as well as taking pleasure in simple things in the world, and decluttering your soul as well as your life. I don’t think I’ve highlighted a book so much. I know I’ll be getting a physical copy soon and re reading it over and over again, and trying my best to pull from it to let go of the things that hold me down. Every one should read this, even if you don’t believe in Paganism. There’s not a lot of theology or ideology in the book, it’s simply said, about living the best life you can in a world that doesn’t prioritize the individual or individual happiness.

I really enjoyed reading this book. I think anyone interested in the Pagan lifestyle, magic, or a new way of thinking about life will thoroughly enjoy this one.

You can immediately feel the energy and passion the author has when describing the many different topics covered in this book. I had a feeling as if a teacher was thoroughly explaining the subject to me in a way that I can easily comprehend the subject.

I look forward to learning more from the author.

This was my first book by this author and while I am unfamiliar with her blog, I am now a huge fan! When I saw this book, I assumed it would be some silly book about how to conjure magic with hocus pocus, but I was pleasantly surprised that it was quite the opposite. I loved her explanations about how to find the everyday magic and how to change your thinking to find the beauty in the mundane. Her explanation of self-care and explaining it is a way to feel connect and to not feel guilty, really resonated with me. I found this to be a motivational and inspiring book to help find not only the magic in your everyday life, but to also find the beauty in it. I would absolutely recommend this book to anyone looking to make a change in their lives.

I have read many books by Maria DeBlassie and this one really spoke to me. It was nothing like I thought it was going to be, but was exactly I what I needed it to be. It felt like a self help type book that really makes you slow down and take care of yourself so you can see the magic in every day life. There are questions to reflect on and I’m really going to think about my answers to them. She was right when she said this book chose me. I’m glad I gave it a shot.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

From the title, I expected the book to be more centred on paganism and although there was not a focus on pagan practices this book did not disappoint.
I loved how the author is realistic in terms of acknowledging that change isn’t easy, whilst still being encouraging to those wishing to make such changes. I also enjoyed the style in which the book was written, it was very easy to absorb and didn’t feel too formal as other similar books have to me.
The addition of the author’s own experiences throughout the book made the guidance given more relatable and easier to understand. This went a long way in showing me how I could also be successful in making my desired changes.
Although the book references magic, you don’t have to believe in magic or be a practitioner to benefit from reading this book. It offers clear advice and strategies to appreciate the little things in life, take joy in what you do and making time for yourself.
Overall, I found this book enlightening and even though I’d heard similar advice (and given it to others) a million times, I had never fully appreciated the impact it could have or felt deserving of such self-care until reading the way it was instructed in this book.
The book was very motivational and I’ve already taken steps to make the recommended steps towards rediscovering what excites me in life and start looking after myself.

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I’m going to start by saying this is an inspirational book not a book about paganism. In the beginning she states it’s not “hocus pocus it’s more like making soups.” Which sounds great but that’s all you get about paganism, nothing about herbs or crystals, which she mentions charging in the moon, but no other details. She also mentions the practice of saging but only if you’re not appropriating the culture. I wish she would have taken that opportunity to teach about smoke cleansing instead of making it about race. Near the end the author suggests using tarot cards but gives no information about using them. So, if you are wanting to learn about Paganism, look elsewhere.
Who would I recommend this book to? People looking for inspiration to change their life. People looking to switch up their routine. I felt this would be a great “new year” book since that is when people make their goals. This is a great book to motivate you to make some goals. Although the author repeats herself many times, (try keeping track of how often she says to drink tea before bed) she has some good points. She encourages self-care and learning how to say no when needed. I liked that she said it’s not easy; I also really enjoyed the questions she asks throughout book. Such as: “What negative patterns am I holding on to? What joys could I replace them with? What am I afraid to embrace?” I think they are great questions to ask yourself and to keep as a reminder throughout the year.

I just finished this book… and I already want to read it again! The entire thing is magical. The way Maria DeBlassie writes is so beautiful, and so very relatable. I found myself in multiple passages throughout every page and every chapter. This book left me filled with hope and inspiration and a longing for more magic in my life – as well as ways to actually make that happen! I have already purchased two copies to give as gifts as well since it is THAT GOOD! Thank you for this beautiful work of art, Maria!

Practically Pagan An Alternative Guide To Magical Living by Maria DeBlassie is a guide to help open your mind, body and spirit to allow more magic into all the crevices of everyday life, without the need of intricately worded spells and expensive tools, or anyone else’s permission. Maria has such a beautiful way with words that whether it is a personal guide such as this, or a fictional story, she manages to pull me deeply into her writing and by the end, I am always impacted in some way. In this guide, expect to find encouragement that it is ok and selfless to love yourself entirely, to say no, to carve out quiet time for yourself. I found myself feeling completely refreshed after reading this book- as if she helped me find the “reset” button I have so desperately been searching for. Even if you are not a practitioner of magic, there is still so much that can be harvested from within these pages.

Thank you to Maria DeBlassie for this book. I was searching for it and did not even know it.

This was a book I almost didn’t read, due to the title, but one of the reviews made me feel like I could benefit from reading this, and I’m glad that I did. This book despite the title is more about tapping into your mindset and routines and using that to create the life you want. I would recommend this book to anyone looking to change their life or wanting to add more magic to what can sometimes feel like a mundane existence. I would especially recommend this to people who feel oppressed as this book helps to give insight into the ways to break free of the oppression you feel and find empowerment in yourself and the world around you.

This book was so enlightening and helpful. The step by step guide to making yourself into the best person you can be is set out in very simple steps that ensure anyone can make the journey. I found throughout my reading that making this journey is not swiftly completed and it will take a lifelong commitment to continuously grow. This author has created a book that can help many people better understand themselves and journey to make their lives better and happier. I am glad that I read this book and know I will use it to help me achieve greater happiness in being me.

I’ve come to truly adore Maria DeBlassie. The more of her writing I’m blessed with reading, the truer my adoration becomes! She radiates such a magical vibe even through black & white, typed up words on paper, & this actually magical book is that much more amazing simply because of who wrote it. I felt seen, heard, & understood from the 1st words on the 1st page. This book is exactly what my soul has been craving for most of my life, & I just can’t be thankful enough for the gift she’s given to me & my daughters & the world. Magical Living will definitely be passed down to & through my children. Please soak in this book like a bubble bath of self care & enjoy the changes it will bring to your life.

This book teaches you how to have your own version of HEA. How to have joy without guilt or shame. Move past outdated narratives, and transcend limiting cultural beliefs. The reader is encouraged to explore different aspects of spiritually. By exposing generational and ancestral trauma, you can reclaim your authentic self. The author does excellent sharing about narratives of hope and healing- particularly for those who are othered bodies- as a form of everyday magic. You don’t need to be mestiza in order to get wisdom and healing from this book. This is about everyday magic for any practitioner of any background which makes the tips and advice not culturally specific. It inspires the reader to explore the areas in life where you need healing. It’s soup for the soul! The author also shares how she organizes the book and what will be covered with concept definitions, tips, real-life examples, and how to develope these practices in your own life. Loved this unique self-help book from a local author!

This was a book which I really enjoyed and connected to, not because I am Pagan, in fact it had nothing to do with Pagan. This book is full of simple beliefs and practices, which makes our life a lot more enjoyable to live in. Simple things like being happy , slowing down, living in the moment, is the need of the hour right now. There are many authors who are trying to bring this point to light in many innovative ways. The central message of this book is amazing and I am in sync with it. We need to work towards peace and tranquility in our every day life and this book drives home the point really well.

This is more of a self-help book. It gives readers a look at the author’s journey and what we can do to have our own journey. There are many insights on how one can achieve the goals that will help you find a way to live a life that is based on what some would call magic. Giving you a better look at life and self-care and self-love. This is an easy way to introduce readers to take a step back, breathe and find the magic in everyday life. Slowing down to enjoy the simplicity of life. Routines and rituals that can be used to learn and find your way. This book emphasis listening to the world around you and finding self-worth. In my opinion this book centered more on spirituality than what some would call Paganism. Not what I expected from the title of the book but still an interesting read.

This is a wonderful and interesting book, not only for those who practice Paganism and/or witchcraft, but everyone. It shows that magic is everywhere and how to use certain objects, plants, things in healing and comfort. I absolutely love how she states that magic isn’t the crazy evil thing that people make it out to be, but instead that it is more so getting to know yourself and the earth more intimately. The book reads like a self-help book more than anything else. Would be great for anyone who practices paganism, witchcraft, beginners or more skillful, and even those who just are looking to make changes within their lives and connect to their feminine divine.

Maria DeBlassie explains how to live a magical life, full of synchronicity, divine receptivity, Goddess energy, and divine feminine energy using her own struggles as a woman of color to help others find the magic within their lives. Each chapter will end with some tips on how to make your lives magical.
Maria DeBlassie fills Practically Pagan – An Alternative Guide to Magical Living with relatable experiences and realistic ways to make your life magical. Although, there is no witchcraft or wizardry going on, any person of any gender, race, background, etc. can use her tips to find fulfillment in their lives. I found this book especially helpful for those who feel as though they have lost who they are with the hustle and bustle of life.
If you need some insight into how to feel more like yourself, find yourself, or overall tips on how to find the magic in your life, do not miss out on this book. It is full of insights, experiences, and rituals for anyone who needs it.

Maria DeBlassie has done a phenomenal job with this magical 😉 book! I absolutely love the way she has gone about providing the reader with information. Not only does she gently guide the reader on what they should do and why, but she also provides her own real, lived experiences to give the reader a sense of why we should listen to her. It’s not just a professor standing at the front of a classroom lecturing…she’s sitting down with the readers, having a conversation and providing experiences from her own life and saying, “Hey, this is what helped me when I was going through this and it might help you.” That’s what this book is like…having a conversation with DeBlassie. The other thing that she drives home over and over again is finding magic in the small and everyday and a lot of what we already do is magically. We just need to be more mindful and intentional with it to make it more meaningful. I 100% recommend this book to anyone (regardless of your religious beliefs) because you can apply it to your life. It’s about intentionality and making your life more magical. 🙂

Well, this book was just what I needed! “Practically Pagan – An Alternative Guide to Magical Living is an inspirational, self-help guide to opening up your own magic. I am formally of the Pagan faith, meaning I have not practiced in some time. However, lately a lot of my life has been leading me back to this way of thinking, believing, and living. I haven’t quite dived fully back in, but as I was pondering my next moves in life, this was the book I happened to stumble upon. The author says, that there is no coincidence that I was reading this book and I believe her. Now, I have read many of these types of books, but this one seemed a little different. One, I like how she gave background and explained the perspective that she is coming from. She makes it clear the message, but also allows you space for your own pagan awakening. Two, I love an author who gets personal with you. She provides her story about how she rediscovers the magic in her life. Her story was very relatable as I was reading, but I also realized I have already made many of the changes she speaks of having to do to heal. She provides a guide of where to start, what to look for, and that it is hard work, not only to recognize and wake up the magic within us, but to maintain that magic. Last, but not least, she discusses very easy ways to rid “toxins” from your life, making a routine to allow yourself time to enjoy life, and most importantly the importance of self-care. I was happy after reading that I am on a “cleansing” path and I hope to continue to awaken the magic within myself, and find the enjoyable ways that life is supposed to present us.

This is a beautifully written piece, regardless of your religious views. This book reminds us that there are bits of magic in everything. It goes on to explain how magic is so much more than what movies and stories show, and is something everyone may be doing without even realizing it! It delves a bit into the psyche of your mind and how you can use your wisdom to make things happen. And that can be magic! Maria DeBlassie shows practical examples and her lived life experiences to show and teach us more about everyday magic.
I whole heartedly recommend for anyone wanting to see more of themselves and look for the enchantment hidden in our everyday lives!

Practically Pagan – An Alternative Guide to Magical Living by Maria DeBlassie, is an interesting book for anyone, not just people practicing Paganism. This book helps you to see that there is magic in everyday things such as books and you can take what comfort and healing you want or can use from them. She states that magic isn’t the hocus pocus everyone thinks it is, but rather a way of getting to know yourself. It is even mentioned that you could already be doing some types of magic without realizing it. How the routines you already do can be considered ritualistic in nature. Magic is a mind set in a way!

I’m a fan of paranormal books and wanted to learn a little more about magic. Being a Christian, I wanted to see how different people believed and practiced those beliefs. I really enjoyed reading about her journey and learning more about everyday magic.

I went into this book thinking it would have some more alternative pagan practices and how that application applies to your day to day life. Only this reads much more like a self help book for those stuck in a rut and looking for a way out with a magical aspect. It is written very well and has a lot of information on what needs to be unlearned in your journey to make room for more fulfilling things. Would be great for anyone looking to make changes in their lives and to connect with the divine feminine.

Practically Pagan - An Alternative Guide to Magical LivingPractically Pagan – An Alternative Guide to Magical Living by Maria DeBlassie
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I was drawn to this book by the title because who couldn’t use some magical living in today’s world. I liked how the book was laid out, it’s nothing like I’ve read before. To me, this book was about finding your inner self and being more comfortable within yourself, which I definitely needed. This was a good, easy read. I would recommend this book.
