    Chronicle Books Color, Form, and Magic: Use the Power of

    1 in stock

    Book SynopsisBring the magic of color and form into your everyday life. Color and form are powerful—and not just for creative work. When used purposefully, color and shape are tools we can use to help us manifest, attract the energy we want, and become our best selves. In this accessible guide, designer and intuitive Nicole Pivirotto breaks down properties of shapes and colors, the basics of getting started with magic, and spell ideas that use color and form, like color meditation and altar building. Whether you have an existing magic practice, want to develop one, or want to use the power of color and form in your creative work, this book is an essential companion to the magic of aesthetics. With gorgeous holographic foil on the cover and book page edges, it is also a beautiful gift for any contemporary seeker with a love of bold color and design. ACCESSIBLE APPROACH TO MAGIC: This book approaches magic as a flexible and empowering practice for manifestation, healing, and self-care. And there's no need to have any special tools to get started. This book shows how visual elements we interact with every day—color, shapes, and symbols—can help you to manifest and become your best self. It's a perfect entry to magic practice for creative types and a unique guide for those looking to infuse an existing practice with more color and creativity. SPELL IDEAS: In addition to overviews of the properties of colors, a library of magical symbols, and an introduction to magic practice, this book offers spell ideas to help you achieve a desired energy or state. All the spells are simple and most are easy to perform with everyday materials. Etch a candle with a symbol and burn to release its energy around you; or, create a custom symbol personalized to your unique intention. This book encourages getting creative, and offers plenty of practical examples to illustrate how you can tailor these spells to your interests and intentions. DISPLAY-WORTHY OBJECT: With shining foil-stamped accents, vibrant illustrations and photography, and a prismatic design, this book is a stunning addition to the coffee table or nightstand, and it makes a gorgeous gift. Perfect for: • modern mystics and those looking for gifts for them • color lovers, creatives, designers, and visual thinkers with a mystic mindset

    Book Synopsis From the author of the hit humor book Men to Avoid in Art and Life comes this tongue-in-cheek collection of cats' innermost thoughts. ​Cat people love their cats deeply . . . maybe a little too deeply. Cats, on the other hand, secretly hate our haircuts but tolerate our presence because we have the thumbs to open the food can. Against the backdrop of fine art, bestselling author Nicole Tersigni delves into the minds of our feline companions and the people who serve them. Broken into five sections representing all kinds of cat people, including the Smotherer, the Oversharer, the Pushover, the Proud Parent, and the Roommate, this hilariously insightful cat humor book says the things our loved ones can’t—that Mewlius Caesar would enjoy us more if we gave them some space. And a better name.
