"The Contemporary Companion to Magic" by Skye Alexander is a comprehensive guide to modern magical practices and traditions. In this book, Skye Alexander explores the ways in which magic can be incorporated into our daily lives and how it can be used for personal growth and empowerment. Throughout the book, Alexander emphasizes the importance of understanding and embracing one's own personal magic, and provides practical tips and exercises for readers to tap into their own innate abilities. She covers a wide range of topics, such as spell casting, divination, rituals, and creating magical tools.

1. For best results, start with clean, unconditioned, dry hair. Tints work best with pre-bleached platinum to pale blonde hair.
2. Wear protective gloves and pour desired amount into a bowl.
3. Section hair into 4 even sections (front to back & side to side) and secure with clips. Work in 1 inch wide strands. Apply color evenly from root to tip with applicator brush. Begin at the root of the hair, applying color evenly through to the ends. Massage each strand with fingers, root to tip, to ensure even distribution of color.
4. Leave Tints in for 45 minutes. No heat/cap required. For more intense, longer-lasting results, leave color in for 1-2 hours. Don't worry, Unicorn Hair will not damage your hair, as it does not contain any harsh chemicals or bleach!
5. Rinse hair in cool to lukewarm water until hair feels clean. More intense shades may not rinse clear for the first few washes. Do not shampoo. Conditioner optional.
6. Style to your liking & enjoy your new Unicorn Hair!

Reviews for "The Practical Magic of Skye Alexander's Companion to Magic"
1. John - 2 stars - I was extremely disappointed with "The Contemporary Companion to Magic" by Skye Alexander. The content was very basic and lacked depth. It felt like a collection of generic information that could easily be found in other books or online sources. I was hoping for more advanced techniques and insights, but instead, I got a book that seems more suitable for beginners. The writing style also didn't resonate with me, as it felt dry and boring. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this book to anyone looking for a comprehensive and insightful guide to contemporary magic.
2. Michelle - 3 stars - While "The Contemporary Companion to Magic" had a few interesting points and practices, I found the book to be quite disjointed. The chapters didn't flow well together, and it felt like the author was jumping from topic to topic without proper transitions. Moreover, some of the information provided was either outdated or lacked practicality. I was hoping for a more cohesive and practical guide to modern magic, but unfortunately, this book fell short of my expectations. It might still be valuable to someone completely new to the subject, but for those with some prior knowledge, I would suggest looking for other resources.
3. Adam - 1 star - "The Contemporary Companion to Magic" was a complete waste of my time and money. The author's writing style was incredibly dull and uninspiring. I found it hard to stay engaged with the book, as it lacked any real excitement or passion for the subject matter. Additionally, the information provided was extremely basic and surface-level. There was nothing new or groundbreaking in this book that I haven't already come across in numerous other occult books. I would advise anyone interested in magic to skip this book and find more informative and engaging resources elsewhere.
