Mundane Magic

Mundane Magic

A Lazy Witch's Guide to Hacking Your Brain, Building a Daily Practice, and Getting Stuff Done

About the Book

Transform the mundane tasks of daily life into intentional moments of Magical self-care, with spells, rituals, and exercises that work with your brain, not against it—from the co-host of the Demystify Magic podcast

Are the dust bunnies and clutter in your house getting out of control? Do you put off cleaning your shower curtain or organizing your closet until you can’t ignore the mess anymore? Imagine turning these mundane chores into moments of Magic, where sweeping the floor or folding laundry becomes an act of spiritual connection and enchantment. But how do we bridge the gap between the ordinary and the extraordinary? That’s where Mundane Magic comes in, to help you focus on the intention behind your actions and tap into everyday Magic with simple rituals and mindful moments, like whipping together a coffee spell for abundance or clearing out the stagnant energy under your bed.

Initially a skeptic herself, Molly Donlan’s journey took an unexpected turn when chronic hip pain led her to Reiki and the intersection of science and spirituality. She’s been where you are, overwhelmed by the weight of daily stress and household chores, but by injecting boring tasks with a sense of novelty and fun, she found Magical practices that worked for her and her ADHD brain, rather than against it.

Organized by rooms around the house and divided by the level of difficulty, Mundane Magic shares fun and actionable tips, exercises, spells, and rituals to create micro-moments of Magic and motivation. You can organize your chores around the moon cycles to optimize cleansing and creativity, whip up an easy simmer pot for the motivation to tackle that pile of dirty dishes, or turn a minty shampoo into a spell for mental clarity.

Mundane Magic offers a fun approach and empathetic support for productivity around the house and reclaiming joy and creativity in the process.

Praise for Mundane Magic

“Molly Donlan’s Mundane Magic is a masterclass in cultivating wonder, joy, and magic in every step you take. The book is practical, vulnerable, and witty; as a neurodivergent person, I appreciated the empathy and understanding in Molly’s words. From chore charts to simmer pots and meditations to magical correspondences, Mundane Magic has something for everyone. It’s sure to inspire a more magical—and better emotionally regulated—life by finding the hidden magic in everyday moments.”—Nicholas Pearson, author of Crystal Basics and The Witching Stones

“There’s nothing ‘mundane’ about this book; each of these little rituals offers a pathway back to joy, power, and purpose in your everyday, and to the belief that you are already enough. That, to me, is an extraordinary magic.”—Krista N. Mitchell, crystal healer, channeler, and author of Crystal Reiki
