A Golden Background

A (very) Brief History

The Magic Guide burst into being during the fall of 2018. While it’s evolved over the years, at its heart, it remains the same — a story to help you connect with the magical side of life. Because mostly, we forget. Life gets hard. Magic seems impossible. Spirit feels far away. But here, you can remember. With every chapter, remember.
