Staff Reviews
I fell in love with the women in the Owens family when reading Practical Magic, and my affection has remained unchanged throughout this final chapter in their story. The family has been under the influence of a curse cast by an ancestor over 300 years ago: anyone who falls in love with an Owens female dies. They go through many changes here. Some are ordinary though no less sorrowful for being so, and some definitely extraordinary which does tend to happen when you belong to a family of witches. This is a beautiful and satisfying conclusion to one of my favorite tales.
“Hoffman certainly knows how to enchant” (The New York Times Book Review) in this breathtaking conclusion to the Practical Magic series—a spellbinding and bewitching novel that asks how far will you go to change your fate?
For over three-hundred years a curse has kept the Owens family from love—but all of that is about to change. The novel begins in a library, the best place for a story to be conjured, when beloved aunt Jet Owens hears the deathwatch beetle and knows she has only seven days to live. Jet is not the only one in danger—the curse is already at work.
A frantic attempt to save a young man’s life spurs three generations of the Owens women, and one long-lost brother, to use their unusual gifts to break the curse as they travel from Paris to London to the English countryside where their ancestor Maria Owens first practiced the Unnamed Art. The younger generation discovers secrets that have been hidden from them in matters of both magic and love by Sally, their fiercely protective mother. As Kylie Owens uncovers the truth about who she is and what her own dark powers are, her aunt Franny comes to understand that she is ready to sacrifice everything for her family, and Sally Owens realizes that she is willing to give up everything for love.
A heartfelt and satisfying conclusion to a beloved series, The Book of Magic celebrates mothers and daughters, sisters and brothers, and anyone who has ever been in love.

Full of Hoffman’s bewitching and lucid prose and vivid characters, The Book of Magic is ultimately about the very human magic of family and love and actions that echo through generations. Filled with secrets and splendor and light and dark, the novel works as well as a stand-alone as it does as a conclusion to a mesmerizing series.

When the Algiz rune is drawn or worn, it is believed to create a protective energy field around the individual, deflecting any negative influences or intentions. In addition to its protective qualities, the Algiz rune is also associated with spirituality and higher consciousness. It is said to enhance spiritual connection, intuition, and inner strength. When working with this rune, individuals may find themselves feeling more grounded, centered, and connected to higher realms. To use the Algiz rune for protection, one can draw or carve it onto an object such as a talisman, amulet, or piece of jewelry. It can also be used in meditation or visualization practices by envisioning the symbol surrounding oneself in a protective shield. It is important to note that while the Algiz rune is a powerful symbol for protection, it should be used responsibly and with respect. It is not a substitute for taking practical precautions and ensuring one's own safety. Additionally, like any symbol or tool, its effectiveness may vary from person to person. Ultimately, belief and intention play a significant role in harnessing the power and benefits of the Algiz rune for protection..
