Folk wisdom Everyday magic
For the magic in an ordinary life.
Come a little closerFrom the opening of The Tiny Witch’s Guide to Every-day Magic
There is room for magic in the life you already have.
You do not need a cottage at the edge of a forest. You do not need shelves of beautiful things, or a room that belongs only to you. A windowsill will do. A pocket. A moment before the rest of the world wakes.
The Wood-Wife’s Daughter is a place for small rituals, folk wisdom, and the quiet work of paying attention. For the curious. For the just-beginning. For anyone who has ever suspected there is a little more to an ordinary day.
Let’s begin where you areA little intention. A little attention. Something you can do today.
Beginning with the book’s themes: intention, the natural world, and the things we make meaningful.

02 / The everyday sacred
A treasured object. A cleared corner. A broom beside the door. Ordinary things can hold the meaning you give them.

03 / The living world
The tree outside your window. The shape of the moon. The first change in the air. Begin a relationship with the world that is already here.

You do not have to know everything before you begin.
A small spell to take with you
Some days, a little courage is enough to begin with. Give it something to hold on to.
All you needA shoelace, a ribbon,
or a piece of thread.
Before you leave the house, tie a knot in a shoelace, a ribbon, or a piece of thread. Anything you have will do.
As you pull it tight, think of what you need today. Courage. Patience. Protection. Steadiness.
“What I need,
I carry.”
Then go. You do not have to feel fearless for the spell to work.
A simple intention ritual. Let the knot remind you of one small action you can take to support yourself.
The Wood-Wife’s Daughter
An invitation to bring intention to the everyday: to notice the natural world, find meaning in familiar things, and make a magical practice that has room for your actual life.
A few words from the opening
“You are a spell, woven by the Universe. It wanted you here, desired your company so badly that it thought your soul into existence. With a big, beautiful exhale, your soul was breathed into the world and you came to Earth, disguised as a human.”
— Welcome, Daughter
You can begin small.
You can begin here.
