Spiritual Book Review: Sister Karol’s Book of Spells, Blessings & Folk Magic

Who would’ve guessed that a nun would write a delightful book about spells, blessings and folk magic? Certainly not me, which is why I was so delighted to read the book for this month: Sister Karol’s Book of Spells, Blessings and Folk Magic.

Have you ever longed for a way to make your daily life more sacred? If so, this little book is the “missing manual” you’ve been seeking!

In this week’s episode, I will share the miraculous way I found this book, how it guided me to create a weekly ritual to invite in the Sacred, and how you can begin to use these interfaith prayers and rituals to infuse your daily life with joy, light and blessings.

And tune in next week for an interview with the author, Sr. Karol Jackowski!

Episode Takeaways:

1) There’s no official explanation of why the earliest pre-Christian prayers were known as spells, except for the primitive belief that’s exactly what deities do when we call- stop by for a spell.

2) At the heart of this book is an attempt to explain the magic in ritual and how divine power changes our lives; how to create magically favored moments in which miracles happen.

3) The Holy Mother Prayer, from page 148: O Holy Mother, to You I pray, come and grant my prayer this day, all in true accord with Thee, as I pray, so might it be (state your request.) Blessed Be.
