This book offers grounded mystical practices, including how to turn routines into healing rituals, to teach readers how to connect to themselves, the Universe, and the magic of everyday life.

After all, true magic is in the everyday.

Practically Pagan is a series of books designed to help facilitate the continuing journey of Pagan ideas into the mainstream, to help develop our new understanding and to spread the message that Pagan ways of thought are not only good but necessary. The Practically Pagan series doesn’t include books about theology or philosophy, they are books about life, yours and mine and the everyday things with which they are filled, cooking, gardening, staying healthy and living magical yet environmentally responsible lives. They are written by Pagans for everyone and they offer different ways to do familiar things. Try one of our recipes, preferably including some ingredients harvested from your garden… but make sure you’re dancing in the kitchen while you cook it! Look after yourself and administer some self care… but extend that compassion to the planet as well. And in the end, well, who knew… you’re practically Pagan!

Practically Pagan - An Alternative Guide to Gardening takes the spooky out of alternative and keeps the magic. Elen Sentier brings together, and expands on, recent scientific discoveries, and shows how close they are to the old ways that were labelled as superstition in the 20th century. Sentier's writing is accessible and opens up the down-to-earth practicalism of pagans as people of the land to all, for that's what the word pagan means, 'of the land'. Sentier doesn't preach or proselytise folk to become pagan, but brings to light how you've been thinking this way for years. Elen Sentier is a best-selling author of British native shamanism. She also writes paranormal mystery-suspense novels. She’s a wilderness woman, born on Dartmoor and grew up on Exmoor in a family who had practiced the old British magic for hundreds of years. Her books include Pagan Portals - Merlin: Once and Future Wizard (Moon Books, 2016), and Gardening with the Moon & Stars (Moon Books, 2015).
