Dedication
This book is dedicated to what allowed me to get here, with the good and the bad things.
Family is sometimes a curse and others the greatest blessing.
Here I have to thank my great-grandparents and my grandparents, since I wouldn’t be who I am if I hadn’t had them.
They are fundamental pieces in my life, and don’t think that, although you are reading this book, everybody believed in magic.
Some of my family members were witches and sorcerers and others were pragmatic and very sceptical.
Thanks to them I am the person you know today: a person who fights, studies and can share the values they gave me and I am very proud of them.
When you come to a family, whether biological or adopted, and you receive their surname, they give you a lot of years, a lot of experiences and a lot of energies.
You must become strong against them and if they teach you how to use them it can be one of your best aces in life.
This book is all the wisdom my great-grandmother transmitted to me, teaching me to do my ‘little things’ and stand on my own, anywhere and in any situation.
Never judge someone by their appearance, they can deceive you. Fragility is not on the outside, it is something that cannot be seen: you create strength little by little, forging it with your values and experiences. This was the greatest lesson they taught me.
You will learn something from everything you do and you will move forward in this path because you will become stronger and discover more qualities and weaknesses that you will have to work.
Go ahead!! We have a lot of work to do.

Preface
This book is made with love and gives a brief and simple description of what magic is for. It aims to break the topics so that magic can be within everybody’s reach.
I will briefly explain how the concept of magic has evolved over the centuries and over the years. How magic was done in ancient times and how we can make use of it today.
Magic isn’t difficult to do but if you don’t take precautions the rebound effect can be devastating, because it leads us to an obsession that is completely negative for us and prevents what we have asked for from happening.
In this book you’ll find a compilation of all the ancestral recipes that I received spoken at meals, snacks, in the kitchen or when women got together to talk about the problems in my family.
Many of them are recipes that have been passed down from generation to generation by our ancestors, so that today they are within our reach.
In a practical way, this is a guide of the most used magic ingredients in the world of home magic.
There are many types of magic: white magic, red magic and high magic. All of them are valid as a concept of magic and, depending on how people use it; it is called one way or another.
However, nobody speaks about home magic, which would be another type of magic; the one which is as powerful as the other types of magic or even more powerful.
What differentiates home magic from the other types of magic is that instead of being done by a magician, i.e., a specialist in the field, it can be done by anyone with a little preparation, patience, perseverance and insistence.
The only difference between us today and our grandparents is that they were more constant and had fewer distractions (television, WhatsApp, cinema, radio, concerts, etc.), and they were the most stubborn.
Chapter 1 – The History of Magic
There are many types of magic and thus many books about magic, which you must have already read. That is why, right now, I do not want to fill you with pages and pages about magic to create a good impression.
I will summarise it for you in the simplest way. We are all born with a special intuition and, as we grow, we all develop this intuition towards something that draws our attention. Some people are scared of it or are lucky enough to block their intuitive part and push those feelings away.
And here you could say: Hey, there is a grammar mistake!!! You have written ‘lucky enough’… No, I haven’t made a mistake. Seeing or feeling what the person in front of you is thinking is, at the beginning, sometimes good and funny. However, as you grow older and your gift does not disappear and is real, it is not much fun because it is not a suit that you can take off whenever you want… You have it during a consultation and this helps you to buy food, which is good –to be honest-, but you also see it when you truly love someone and is your friend, your partner, your family and, then, sometimes it is better not to know certain things…
Therefore, dear friends, it is better to work with intuition
