Spell Bound: A new witch's guide to crafting the future

I collect books, both new and old.I have not yet caught on to the digital reading craze via Kindle or other such app. Nor am I big on audible, though I wish I could get into it.I like to feel the pages with my fingertips. I want to feel the energy, the egregore created by writers.I've always loved a good Wordsmith.Or, in recent years as I've come to call us: Word Alchemists.We have the ability to create Magick with our words.We're not special in that everyone has this ability; we simply stand apart because we share our Alchemized materia with the world.I can count on one hand how many times a book has taken my breath away both in visuals and writing.What's more, I can count on even less fingers the amount of books that actually vibrated in my hand begging to be read.My copy of Spell Bound by the incredibly talented Chaweon Koo arrived today and it is exquisite.Chaweon has proven to be a Master Alchemist.I'm half way through it already.This book is going to change the Magickal and Occult communities in ways we haven't seen before. Chaweon has put up the bat signal, sent out her war cry to the masses that Magick IS accessible to everyone.Similar message and accessibility that was shown in Mat Auryn's International Bestselling book, Psychic Witch.I anticipate her book will follow suit. And, no I am not comparing, as there simply is no comparison to this book. Or to Mat's.You want this book in your library.You will want to read it several times.You will want to pass it down to every Magickal being entering our community.Chaweon has an otherworldly ability to paint motion pictures with her writing. I hang on to her next word with baited breath, like a lover yearns for the next sweet kiss.She has incorporated her Korean roots so beautifully and proudly. It is an honor to witness her coming home to herself while granting the reader space to come home to themselves. This book is a journey; one I will gladly take multiple times.The way she writes, the way it's formatted completely engages my Neurodivergent mind and my ADHD screams,"WHAT IS THIS SORCERY?! WE WANT MORE!"This book deserves all the praise it will undoubtedly receive.This book is Magick.This book is Art.This book is an Experience.Seriously, BUY IT.Magick.Pure Magick.❤️‍🔥🤘🔥

I rarely write reviews, but this book has motivated me to do so. First, I was stunned at what a gorgeous and well made book this is. I was not expecting this quality nor the breathtaking artwork. It is an addictive read, memoir and personal anecdotes peppered with straightforward easily utilized advice and spells and rituals. I immediately sat down and devoured 100 pages. I will revisit this book time and time again. I am not a book collector, I tend to read and pass along, but I will be keeping this one.

This is not simply a book; it is a work of art! It has a nice hard cover, thick quality paper and real stitched binding. The pages are filled with gorgeous paintings and drawings, and the content is unique. It’s personal, poetic, artistic, gritty, eclectic, modern, high tech, futuristic, practical and useful. Very well done!

Love this book so much I’m pretty new alto studying magic and this was such a fun imaginative and beautiful read. Such a beautifully crafted book. ❤️🥰

One of the most beautiful books I own.

Born in Korea but raised in America, the author Chaweon Koo occupies a liminal cultural space, giving her the power to synthesize Eastern and Western perspectives and imagine the future of art, culture and magic without clinging to stereotypes.The result is a totally unique reading experience. There’s never been an introduction to magic that reaches into the soul the way Spell Bound does.And that's because it isn’t just a text. It’s an illuminated manuscript, so lushly woven with art that it almost seems to breathe while you read.Opening the pages of Spellbound is like falling into a river of beauty that takes you on a winding journey into the heart of what magic is truly about: timeless imagination.It is an exquisite introduction to magic for any beginner student, opening with a poetic initiation and offering a unique interpretation of all the fundamentals from elements to alchemy.And because there’s nothing basic about this book, it also serves as a mind-altering inspiration for any advanced student.What has always made Chaweon so popular is that she breathes new life into magic. She knows how to lighten up dense and obscure topics with her spirit of humor, glamour and fun!And Spellbound is no exception. This book represents a breakthrough in the magical conversation and I know its influence will be felt for many decades to come.

Very glad I purchased this book. Great perspectives here. Not quite finished with it yet, but so far loving it. Definitely a a great addition to my library.
