Practical Symbols is an empowering guide to the surprising history of over 250 symbols, showing you how to invoke their properties whenever you need them.
Perhaps you're looking for protection from a toxic situation at work, or guidance for a difficult assignment at school. Maybe you're trying to help a friend in pain, or simply find more balance in your relationships.
Practical Symbols provides you with the tools you need to approach any situation with poise, confidence, and a little bit of magic.
This book is written in an accessible and friendly way, and will not only help you channel the energies of ancient and powerful symbols, but also show you how to create your own bespoke sigils and bind runes. It will teach you which symbols work best for your specific purposes, and why, and help you empower yourself to nurture your wellbeing every day with symbols.
Organized by theme, learn which symbols you can use for:
emotional healing-soothing your soul and nurturing your mental health
physical wellbeing-helping you relax, sleep better and dream well
celebrating the wheel of the year-discovering how ancient symbols and runes have always been used to honour the sabbats
connecting with nature-such as the cycles of the moon and the passing of the seasons
adding magic to special occasions-celebrating birthdays, weddings, engagements and more
enhancing or starting your career-manifesting your dream job or boosting your career
With advice on rituals and methods for incorporating symbols into your daily practice, this is a must-have book for any spiritually curious individual, no matter your level of expertise.
