ious issues. Lyons is a writer, activist, occultist, and

Tackling climate change is becoming increas-
ingly urgent, and there are books that reflect the
relevance of witchcraft to environmentalism. In
Wild Witch: A Guide to Earth Magic (Weiser, Oct.),
Marian Green writes that Wicca is grounded in
the natural world and can reconnect practitioners
to nature. A wild witch discovers that every
living thing has a spirit: “By perceiving the tides
of Nature and working with rather than against
them, we will all gain in confidence, health and
satisfaction with life. By restoring some of the
sense of wonder we had as children, and permit-
ting ourselves to relearn our inherent magical
skills, we may find shortly that our whole world
has been changed for the better.” Green (The
Complete Book of Aquarian Magic) is a British
author who has worked with magic, witchcraft,and the Western mysteries since the early 1960s.“Mystical Wellness”
Mental and physical health is under siege in the
modern world, and preserving and enhancing well-
ness has become a central cultural quest. In Wellness
Witch: Healing Potions, Soothing Spells, and
Empowering Rituals for Magical Self-Care (Running
Press, Sept.), author Nikki Van De Car offers rit-
uals, spells, and recipes for healing remedies—
tinctures, tonics, mantras, and meditations—that
aim to unite body and spirit for what she calls
“mystical wellness.” “Everyone’s connection to
their own spirituality is different, and my goal here
is to invite readers to investigate what feels right
to them,” she writes. “Whether it’s hearkening
back to the herb witch practices of our ancestors,
or calling on their own intuition to create some-
thing entirely new, there is something deeply
powerful—even magical—in making something
yourself, for yourself. For me, wellness magic isn’t
just something you do, it’s a way of life.” Van De Car
is the author of Practical Magic and Magical Places.WELLNESS MADE SIMPLE
