Small Spells: Softly, Your Life Becomes Enchanted

“Is this witchcraft or just whimsy?” This is a comment that spells from this book once got somewhere on social media. The truth is—can’t it be a bit of both?

This book is full of whimsy: mundane things addressed as if they were special and sentient, trees given gifts, doors to other worlds imagined… But what if magic lives in the small and simple things? What if childlike wonder and poetic self-expression can work actual real-life miracles? And what if casting a spell not always requires a list of ingredients and a strict procedure?

The author of this spellbook, Lida Pavlova, is a witch and a writer. She prefers her spells weird and absurd, tiny and easy, casual and not too serious. She recommends to cast them in the spirit of loving trust to all things magical—and calm self-empowerment. This is a book full of whimsical rituals and deep devotion to nature and everyday experiences. This is a way to enchant your life—and come back to your magical self in the process.
