​

What a wonderful book! "Curative Magic" meets every expectation that I have come to find in Rachel Patterson's books. This book is full of wonderful resources for those who follow the Craft or even those who simply are looking to turn to nature for assistance in their lives. This book offers basic background knowledge in the first part. The second part of the book is a series of chapters, each on another specific condition, such as anxiety, stress, self-esteem, lack of sleep, among many others. Each chapter has a description of foods to help with the condition, recipes for for the kitchen, spells, rituals, meditations, and so much more! The third part of the book feels like a bonus section, where Rachel offers suggestions for body & bath, animal magic, deity related to health, using the moon, elements, and seasons, among many others. As always, Patterson explains things in a very easy-to-understand manner that also conveys her message in a very friendly, approachable way. This truly is a book that you need in your library as a resource for your own self-care.

This book is a great reference tool and I find myself dipping in to it more and more as I go through my healing journey. Rachel's writing makes the book easy to read as well, and I often find I go to look something up quickly and get drawn into the book and realise an hour has passed.
I cannot recommend this book highly enough if you are interested in the old ways.

This book is amazing, it has been published at the perfect time, and has really helped me to cope with the stress and anxiety that life has thrown at me this year. The book covers lots of different mental health conditions including stress, anxiety, grief and depression, each having their own chapter, and each chapter is jam packed with magical suggestions to help you cope: herbs, crystals, foods, recipes, teas, Incense blends, meditations, spells and rituals to name a few, all written in Rachel’s down to earth, friendly way. I really can’t recommend this book highly enough, if you are a Pagan and struggling with a mental health condition, this is the book for you.
