This review originally appeared on The Magical Buffet website on 05/21/2025.
Life is hard. Seriously. Work, family, household, friends, appointments. It can be hard to find a way to make a little time for just you. That’s why I like books like the one we’re about to discuss. “A Year and a Day of Everyday Magic: Witchify Your Life with a Daily Dose of Magic” by Deborah Blake is a great way to learn and try to incorporate just a little more magic into your day.
No matter how busy your day is, anyone can find the time to read one or two pages of a book. That’s how “A Year and a Day” gets you. Blake provides a variety of options daily: recipes, tarot, spells, meditations, colors, animals, and more all get a dose a day treatment.
Whenever reviewing a book like this, I share a “random” day as an example, and by “random”, I mean my birthday. So, as an example, here’s May 29:
"Healing Sachet
Sachets are a simple craft project easy to use for magical purposes. A sachet is a small pillow you fill with herbs and possibly some form of stuffing. They can be made in any size you want but they are usually about three or four inches square.
All you need to make a magical sachet is a piece of cloth, a needle and thread, and whatever you’re going to put inside. I like to use a cloth the color of whatever magic I’m doing, so I’d use blue for healing, but really anything you have around will do. (You can even use a scrap cut from an old favorite comfy shirt or pajamas.)
Healing herbs that work well for sachets include calendula, eucalyptus, lavender, lemon balm, rosemary, and peppermint, among others. In this application, dried herbs are probably better than fresh, because you don’t have to worry about moisture in the fresh herbs causing them to mold and rot. If you use fresh herbs, the sachet probably won’t last long.
Fold a rectangular piece of cloth in half and sew up two of the three sides, then place your herbs and any stuffing you might want to use inside. If you want, you can add a healing gemstone, a piece of paper detailing what you wish to have healed, or anything else that seems right to you. Then fold up the final inside. Tuck it under your pillow, carry it with you, or place it on your altar."
You can look forward to fun bits like this for a year and a day with Blake’s “A Year and a Day of Everyday Magic.” It’s the perfect book for anyone looking to make each day more magical.

I Love This Book!
I read this book daily. Every day, I learn something new! I find myself wondering how Deborah will keep writing about new information every day, but she does!
