A note from Lizzie on the book:
“After years of research and what feels like a lifetime of love, I’m so happy to share that An A to Z is finally ready! This book came to me as an idea when I was looking into Encromancy, and discovered that there wasn’t much information out there – nor was there much for other cool-but-totally-weird methods, and I’m all about the obscure! I felt that we had so much history about different methods, but they were rarely used in a modern setting, and this needed to change. The concept I was thinking about mainly on a trip to Chicago, my most favourite of spiritual places, unusually! It sounded loudly within me when I was near the “Money Museum” and on top of the Board of Trade building on LaSalle Street. Overlooking the whole stretch, is the Goddess of Grain “Ceres”, and one of my favourite astrological points. Nurturing things that bring us security, such as money or business, is a given and a must in our lives, but do we nurture ourselves with good art, our social causes, our favourite food, and beauty found in everyday things? Coincidentally some of my favourite things in Chicago are close to this building. What I really want to nurture, however, is my divination practice and expand on that for everyone. I hope by reading this book, you find something in it that helps you nurture your own spiritual journey in a way that feels true to you.”
