The A-Z Guide to Charm Bags: Part 1

I adore charm bags, I really do. They’re easy and quick and fabulous magick for a modern lifestyle. They’re like little sachets of potpourri setting out to change the world…

So, I thought, why not start a whole collection of charm bag recipes? And thus was born the “A-Z Guide to Charm Bags” broken into two parts (so that each conveniently holds 13 because every witch knows it is a most excellent number.)
