"Your life is the greatest spell you will ever cast."—Veronica Varlow
In this beguiling guide, Veronica Varlow, the last daughter in a line of Bohemian witches, weaves together witchcraft knowledge and ancient secret spells with an exotic rock-and-roll magick style that has earned her a devoted following worldwide. Drawings, photography, vintage art, and text written in her own hand round out this sumptuous companion filled with spells for everlasting confidence, radiant self-love, healing, manifesting your dreams, and love with a desired partner.
Veronica calls upon the ancient and hidden Czech-Romani magic passed down to from her grandmother Helen's lineage and infuses it with her own signature sorcery to help you awaken and amplify your truest self. Each spell that you cast, each potion that you brew, and each chant you speak into the universe will rouse the most powerful part of your being, the part that inherently knows how incredible and unstoppable you are when you possess the right tools. 
In Part I, The School of Spectaculus, Veronica reveals, step by step, her personally crafted steps to spellcasting with power. She shares her secrets regarding writing and  preparing for spells, calling on ancestors to give your spells oomph, and concluding spells properly. She also provides information on when to cast spells and other basics that you need to know to perform the mind-blowing rituals she introduces in Part II.
In Part II, Initiations, she introduces you to the hidden magick of Bohemia. There are five initiations, each focused on a specific themes including self-esteem, healing, self-love, love.
Each initiation begins with an overview on the subject at hand, incorporating her personal wisdom and experience as a healer and sharing stories and images from the extremely popular Witch Camps she leads in upstate New York.  
The overview is followed by an experiential journey of discovery, a story in which you are the protagonist, whether following a trail of candles through a dark wood to a river filled with tiny message-filled paper boats or venturing into a tarot parlor on a hot, sultry night to meet a Witch who has come back from the Afterlife to help you find true love. 
And, of course, each initiation includes spells with a rock and roll vibe, such as:

• Hello, I Love You: Using a mirror magick to boost your confidence and magnetism
• Return to Sender: Create a Magick Candle and burn it upside down to protect you and send bad vibes back to where they came from
• Search and Destroy: Literally pulverize the false stories you tell yourself by writing them on china plates and smash those poisonous words to bits with a hammer! It's a tough job, and this is the way to do it.
• Bohemian Rhapsody: A special knot-tying spell to do with a partner to increase passion and intimacy

For each badass bewitching enchantment, Veronica explains its importance, the purpose of practice, and the necessary tools and preparation you'll need to cast it correctly. 
With Bohemian Magick, you'll discover your adventurous side and have more fun than you ever dreamed. Get ready to rise up, call your power back to you, realize your purpose, and make your life story truly legendary!
