Lisa Marie Basile's eloquent and compassionate spellbook could benefit anyone who feels his or her inner power emerging. Simply beautiful.--<b>Vanessa Cuccia, founder of Chakrubs and author of Crystal Healing and Sacred Pleasure</b><br><br>A poet's foray into nonfiction, <i>Light Magic for Dark Times</i> is revelatory--a richly-brewed infusion of everyday magic exactly when many of us need it most.--<b>Sonya Vatomsky, author of Salt Is for Curing and writer at Haute Macabre</b><br><br>Basile's voice is soothing, and she remains the perfect amount of Scorpio mysterious--she never tires the reader with long personal stories, but instead slips in little details of her interesting life, just as much as context allows. This makes her feel like a warm, curious guide who you'd want to get to know over blue lotus tea, probably served in antique Italian bone china owned by someone's <i>Strega Nona</i>. ... What I like most about <i>Light Magic For Dark Times</i>, aside from its beautiful illustrations and narration, is that I feel like I did a good amount of healing work just doing the exercises in the books before I even tried any of the spells.--<i><b>BUST</b></i><br><br>Lisa Marie Basile's <i>Light Magic for Dark Times</i> is a treasure. She takes self-care and injects it with magic, with thought, and with the complexities--light and dark--that make us human. Beautifully illustrated and laced with poetics, this is a guidebook for a new spirituality, one that infuses ancient wisdoms and ritual with a modern sensibility. It's the book I want to buy for all my friends.--<b>Erin Khar, Ask Erin advice columnist and managing editor at Ravishly</b><br><br>Praise for Lisa Marie Basile: <br> "I came to Lisa Marie Basile's Apocryphal eager to travel off the beaten paths--of genre, of narrative, of self-disclosure and self-discovery. I was never once disappointed." - The Rumpus, Julie Marie Wade [http: //therumpus.net/2014/11/apocryphal-by-lisa-marie-basile/] <p/> "Part of being authentically you and authentically a Smart Girl lies in being able to rise above difficult circumstances and find passion and success. No one exemplifies that spirit more than our newest Smartist, poet Lisa Marie Basile. After a challenging childhood, Basile is "shaking up the world of words" according to one New York Daily News article, with her work focused on the body, the feminine, glamour, beauty and mischief." - Amy Poehler's Smart Girls Series [https: //amysmartgirls.com/smartists-lisa-marie-basile-199d6e69640d] <p/> "Lisa Marie Basile founded Luna Luna Magazine in 2013. Thanks to a growing community of writers, it is so much more than a "lifestyle magazine." It has unapologetic and original perspectives on everything from body positivity to witchcraft. The content is divided into "light" and "dark" content where readers can feed their good and bad sides." - Buzzfeed's Girl Squads You Need to Know [https: //www.buzzfeed.com/handm/9-girl-squads-you-should-know-about?utm_term=.dh2ArKxnr#.jvedK7Q1K] <p/> "Lisa Marie is the most hard-working professional I know in the publishing industry. She is constantly growing her list of transferable and adaptable skills, and has a keen writing voice--one that has been recognized by many press associations, and publications. I'm constantly impressed by Lisa's level of dedication to her field--from consistently getting published to creating her own online magazine. LunaLuna Magazine has over 50 contributors, and thousands of emails each week of people wanting to contribute to this piece of this Internet real estate Lisa created--a luxury many startups work tirelessly to achieve, but Lisa snagged it as soon as she added herself to the competition. She is smart, well-versed, and deserving of all the career success." - Laura Delarato, Refinery 29 [https: //www.linkedin.com/in/lisambasile/] <p/> "Technically the poet is exquisitely skilled. She experiments freely with form and metre; arranging her poems with a constant eye out for fresh ways to position words on the page. Her voices reflect the idiosyncratic shape of her poems. They are divided in personality, yet they dance to the unique rhythm that the poet controls. Reading Apocryphal is a journey through weighty beauty. The slim volume easily communicates the depth and detail of a novel; and the voices it contains rise and fall with the precision of a novelist's multiple points of view. Yet the mystique and broken form of the poems take them beyond anything a novel could be. Lisa Marie Basile's words bewitch their readers, forcing our brains into the awkwardly shaped mind-sets of her world's isolated voices." - PANK Magazine (editor-in-chief was Roxane Gay). [http: //pankmagazine.com/2015/02/19/review-apocryphal-lisa-marie-basile/] <br><br><br>This book is perfect for the beginner who has yet to see themselves reflected in the practices of nature-based faiths.
