#self-possession

Here's a peek at the table of contents:

The book covers a lot of really cool topics and the overall message seems to be just to practice what feels right to you.

Each chapter starts with a fun little illustration and there are a few smaller illustrations scattered throughout the book.

Sometimes there are small asides in the book and they are formatted inside a bracket like the one pictured below.

This book talks a lot about closed cultures like Hoodoo and Voodoo but does not really contain a firm clause against appropriation.

There is also a lot of Wiccan dynamics mentioned throughout the book that I was not expecting. If you are triggered by Wicca or do not enjoy it, I definitely would not recommend reading this book.

The author's voice is very playful and matter-of-fact. I get a very down to earth vibe from reading this book and enjoy the random stories that she tells about the Enchantments store.

My biggest disappointment with this book is probably that it almost never touches upon the subtitle. In the podcast, she talked so much about Self-Possession and it sounded like an amazing concept. She does not really dive into the concept in the book other than in the introduction.
