This book is dedicated to my incredible wife, Thania, for always believing in me and encouraging me to persevere and follow my dreams. You are my love, my light, my magic.

Many thanks to my team at Adams Media for giving me this incredible opportunity and trusting me with this titleespecially to Julia, for your positivity and immense support throughout the entire process, and to Brett for being an insightful, to-the-point editor. This book is what it is thanks to your knowledge and guidance.

I also have to thank my brilliant and beautiful wife, Thania, for reading every word I wrote and offering your own unique thoughts and perspective. Without you, this book may have never gotten finished! And thank you also to my wonderful son, Caedmon, for being patient and understanding when I was at my computer all day long. I love you infinitely.

A mention must be made to the book that solidified my journey as a witch, Merlins Book of Magick and Enchantment by Nevill Drury. It spoke to me in a way no book ever had, and I knew I was on the right path.

Lastly, to everyone who has purchased this book, thank you! Its been a true honor to write, and I hope it is as therapeutic to you as writing it has been for me.

People often assume that magic affects things apart from a witch, or that its used to shape the world to the witchs desire. This belief couldnt be further from the truth.

Magic is one of your most powerful tools for working to improve your own well-beingspiritually, emotionally, and mentally. Its not grand, sweeping change, either. Its small, incremental shifts that bring you closer to harmony within yourself. And when you have balance within yourself, its easier to move in harmony with the world around you.

The two things that you can most effectively control and affect are yourself and your energy. In a world where we are continually buffeted by people, environment, and situations, cultivating awareness of your energy and fine-tuning it for optimal wellness is an act of self-care.

Even small actions add up. Maintenance is, after all, one of the keys to wellness. Regular maintenance on a car catches problems before they can strand you at the side of the road. The same goes for your personal wellness. Working to stay in tune with your needs on a regular basis enables you to become familiar with rhythms and tides within your life. That familiarity allows you to become aware of minor changes so that you can address them before they need a more significant investment of time and energy to remedy.

Infusing your daily activities with spiritual awareness will help you create a magical environment that fosters your spiritual, mental, and emotional health. For example, adjusting or updating the energy of your home helps maximize the positive and supportive energy surrounding you; weaving cleansings, blessings, and affirmations into your daily life enriches your connection to the energy surrounding you, encouraging gratitude and a positive outlook; and releasing things you no longer need or emotions that do not support spiritual wellness frees you from energy drain.

Working to nourish your body, mind, and spirit in daily life makes for optimal balance and living. Caring for all aspects of yourself improves your quality of life. Balancing and maintaining your personal energy also makes you better able to manage energy (yours and the energy you raise) in ritual and spell work. It also improves your connection to the natural world, which is always a bonus for a witch.

In this wonderful collection of spells, rituals, meditations, and affirmations, Krystle provides you with the magical tools to address imbalances in many different aspects of your life, for various situations. Most are small, easy ways to adjust your energy and encourage awareness within yourself. They can be easily added into your routines, or called on when required to apply to specific situations or problems.

Maintaining your holistic wellness makes you stronger, more resilient, and more able to deal with change. Its a gift to yourself, and an act of self-love. Take the time to tend to your wellness. Its an investment in yourself, and your spiritual path.
