Nice

To know Ruby in real life is to be enchanted by her and the same can be said of her book. I became familiar with Ruby through her the_numinous account on Instagram, her website bearing the same name and then got to interact with her in real life through her fantastic quarterly Club Soda mixers here in NYC. It was through all of these things that I found out she was launching a book. The writing style displayed in it allows Ruby's warm, intelligent and caring personality to shine through. Though I'm extremely familiar with the topics covered here (astrology, tarot readings, meditation techniques, crystal healing, detoxes, etc.) I think this is the perfect book for present day, as it shows how we can combine our love of all things stylish and modern with the metaphysical, eternal and spiritual. It is possible to be moved by beautiful things and to want them in our lives while walking a path of spirituality that allows us to give of ourselves and connect more deeply with others. They are all tools that can be fused together to create a life of deep meaning as opposed to chasing after the ephemeral qualities of "happiness" or "positivity"--topics which I feel have been exhausted and misappropriated in the literary landscape. Ruby does not promise her readers rainbows, unicorns and every day raves (though she does touch on the rave experience in her book briefly) but she does show readers that they too can connect with the Divine in both big and small ways whenever and however they wish, without any special middleman or dogma necessary. A great read all around. I am a particularly fast reader, though I dragged this one out on purpose. I found reading this book to be especially fun, soothing and comforting--especially while sitting on NYC subway trains. I think this will be the first of many beautiful books to be written by Ruby! Congratulations!

Sometimes things come along that you dont realise you need, until you have them and then realise that this is what you've been searching for without even knowing it.That's what Rubys book was to me. I love anything mystical, herbal and had a fascination for the signs in astronomy. But also thought only 'certain folks' do sh*t like that. You know.....long armpit hair, dreads, live in a yurt off grid. But MGMW opens up that tunnel vision I had and explains that everyone is human and is connected to OUR universe. Everyone has it in them to see the mystical world, we just have to allow ourselves.If you ever dabble in tarot reading or crystals or yoga, or anything that makes you feel connected to an inner peace( even if its just 2 minutes watching the sunrise), you must get this book, to laugh at Rubys honesty regarding her ego and realise that perhaps we too allow our egos to run our lives, but we can change it with the flick of a few pages of MGMW!@barefootfaeriefarmer 👍

Like this book a lot contentwise

if you are just starting out on your spiritual journey Ruby's book is an excellent guide. It gives practical advice on everything from astrology to tarot cards to yoga. Easy to read, full of fun anecdotes. Highly recommended.
