Last night (or early this morning depending on how you want to look at it…semantics), I finished the book The Witch’s Way to Wealth by Jessie DaSilva. DaSilva has built a reputation as the Millennial Money Witch. She has been featured in Forbes and on Buzzfeed. She used to be a lawyer but now does job and finance coaching with a witchy twist. She starts out the book by explaining that magic is science and science is magic. 100% believe in this! Lots of what used to be termed magic can be explained away by science and there is so much more out there that is unexplained but being proved every day. Her book dedicates a whole chapter to talking about physics and such to back up this theory. She also explains that self help books are not that far removed from witchcraft. It is all about focus and intentions. Yes, there are some witchy things like which crystals align with what and a whole section about birthcharts that honestly made my head hurt, but I realized while reading that affirmations and spells are not that different from each other. Science has proved that repeating affirmations change the neural pathways of your brain, so it makes sense that spells would too. You are repeating something with intention. My father used to tell me that when you put positive energy out into the world positive energy will be returned to you. He was the type that would be on the boardwalk and look down to see a $20 bill in the sand. This is right along with what DaSilva discusses. The wild part is while I was reading, there were some moments where life just aligned for me financially just when I needed it. Such as getting a $350 used but perfect condition leather purse for $.68 out of pocket. I have started to keep track of the unexpected funds that have come my way since I started reading the book and focusing on manifesting money. It is close to $200 already! Believe what you will, but it seems to be working for me. The book also talks about budgeting, anxiety, and job searching. I recommend you read if just for that even if you aren’t into the woo woo stuff. #September2023 #NetGalley
"The Witch's Way to Wealth" by Jessie DaSilva is an excellent book that is inspiring, informative, educational, and humorous! There's a lot in here that anyone can learn from regardless of their level of witchiness. I learned a lot and laughed a lot while listening to this. Jessie tells us, "Witchcraft is science." We create our reality through thought and beliefs. Our thoughts affect our cells. So first of all, stop thinking money is scarce. It isn't. Money flows abundantly. Use your intention and visualization.
We also need to figure out what's stopping us or holding us back from bringing in or keeping money. She teaches us financial solutions with detailed info on finding a new job, asking for a salary adjustment, and starting a side hustle. She also talks to us about getting stability in our finances. Many of us have debt. We are asked to consider if spending money is a trauma or coping response. If so, forgive yourself, she counsels. "Sometimes we manufacture BS in our lives because we get some sick satisfaction from it. That's OK, too. I'm not here to kink-shame your existential masochism," quips the Millenial Money Witch, as Jessie DaSilva has been dubbed by Forbes. She's blunt and funny.
There are sections about Crystals, Flowers, Deities, and Astrology. There are spells explained as well at the very end. I'm pretty clear at this point, though, that mostly I need a mental shift about money, affirmations to manifest money, and daily action towards my financial goals.
Thank you to Dreamscape Media and Netgalley for providing me with this audiobook in exchange for my honest review. I enjoyed the audiobook, particularly with the author narrating it, but I would like to have this physical book as a reference guide, too.
I absolutely loved this book! I don’t think I have ever laughed or smiled while reading a personal finance book before. Jessie DaSilva’s writing style is engaging and entertaining, and there were some passages where it felt like she was speaking directly to me. I think this shows how universal debt and money management can weigh on a person.
While it does have some “witchy” i.e. spells, she details how magic and meditation is science. You may have heard this before if you have studied mediation, but I felt like the author did a great job explaining how it is actually science.
Can we talk about all the book and podcast recommendations, not to mention the notes section. One of my favorite phrases is “cite your source.” I have so much more reading and listening to do now.
Just in case you can’t tell, I highly recommend this book! I will definitely be buying my own copy when it is published!
This book is manifested to be weird and so it is. It talks about money in a very unusual and not a business like way. "Money magic is finance, and finance is money magic." - one of my favourite quotes from the book. If you don't believe in magic, this book can at least teach or coach your mindset change. Some things in life can't be really explained from the point of science and science is sometimes is a magic. This book can show you a different perspective on wealth and money than you experienced prior to reading it.
Jessie DaSilva writes about her view on money and provides some background information about her financial struggles to acquire financial freedom. She states that in this book she is going to show readers how to get money, keep it, and make it work for them. However, she writes that in order to get there, readers need to first accept wealth as their conscious will, and to decide that your foremost goal in everything she teaches you will be to make money— and lots of it.
The author states that when people say, “Money is energy,” they’re saying two things: • First, money has no intrinsic value. • Second, money is a renewable resource.
The author states that money is energy meaning that money moves freely like a current and is a renewable resource, because whatever flows away from you will return because that’s what money does.
Jessie discusses the moon phases, outlining and providing a brief discussion of each.
In discussing manifestation, the author states that she started manifestation because everything else she had tried didn’t work, and when she discovered that a necessary step of magic is to go forth from a spell and live like the spell already worked. Further, she writes that she realized where the massive gap between manifestation and materialization had been in my life.
Finally, the author shares some of her wrichcraft practices and resources for manifesting money. She discusses basic protection and how to channel energy into them.
Overall, this is a book filled with a wealth of beneficial information, covering many aspects of "Wrichcraft" as the author terms it. It is definitely a keeper for your reference Library. Highly recommend it.
Witchy ways to become wealthy?! Sign me up! I was immediately intrigued by the subject of this book. I’m not looking to become a millionaire or anything like that but this is a fun book that could maybe help someone.
I fully believe that intention is everything. I love how Jessie talks about putting out into the universe what you want from it. Manifesting has power. I liked that she didn’t make this unobtainable magic. Anyone can follow her tips. You don’t need a blood sacrifice.
The book is narrated by the author and she did a great job! There is some cursing but that doesn’t bother me! She seems very smart and funny. A perfect combination!
There is a lot of information in this book. An extensive amount. I believe the book would be a better read if it were cut in half. And the additional information was available in a program, podcast or video series. I say this because the level of information is a lot. And that’s not a bad thing but it does feel daunting sometimes to have listened to so much already and still have over 6 hours to go. Also the subject matter is all relative so it begins to blend together.
If you are looking for new ways to make money and get what you want in life I recommend reading The Witch’s Way to Wealth by Jessie DaSilva. Thank you to NetGalley, Jessie DaSilva, Sourcebooks and Dreamscape Media for the opportunity to read it. I have written this review voluntarily.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an arc of the audiobook!
The Witch’s Way to Wealth focuses on manifestation and conscious intention, with a bit of real life financial advice. It’s not just about the money and how to have a bigger bank account but about how to open yourself up to any and all financial opportunities the universe can give you.
I enjoyed the witchy tips regarding crystals and altars and what intentions to set during which moon phases, but I do wish there was more of that and less of the personal information from the author. This book felt much more like a memoir than a how-to self help book.
Fun, informative, really interesting! I think I need the book to read along and absorb all of that information!! And take notes too!
This is a break from what I normally read and listen to. But when I saw this, I was immediately drawn to it and knew I had to see what it was all about!
For all of the research done to create this book, I can't give it any less than 5⭐️! The audiobook was very fun to listen to and really accentuated her humor and experience with the subject matter. I know I will listen to this again and again!
Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for allowing me to listen to this advanced copy of the audiobook!
Fertility and Abundace are part of the first religion and the first magic spells. This is entertaining buf also useful as it use her experience as witch but also as a person who knows about finance The skeptic in me is bit perplexed but the other part will surely try some of this spells. Very useful and informative Highly recommended. Many thanks to the publisher for this ARC, all opinions are mine
Combines the tone of You Are A Badass with spellwork and other forms of magic. There is a good mix of practical career and financial advice combined with new age mysticism and witchcraft. Should be popular with patrons.
Fantastic! Jessie provides new alternative ways of thinking in order to move forward and progress towards making the kind of income you desire for yourself. She uses examples and experiences from her life to guide and nurture you towards your ultimate outcome... wealth and abundance.
There is a LOT to sift through in this book, and much of it felt to me like fluff. As a result, it took me ages to get through, but ultimately, I did take away some helpful information and advice.
