Book review: Italian Folk Magic by Mary-Grace Fahrun
My preference with books of this nature does seem to be an easy conversational style of writing and this book very definitely falls into that category. The author has an excellent knack for description. I am not Italian, nor have any experience with large raucous families but she describes it so well, I can picture…

Book Review: Wild Witch by Marian Green
My witchcraft journey was busted up a little bit – my mother was supportive but when she got sick and knew my grandmother would be taking over, she made me promise to keep it to myself where she was concerned, for at least as long as my brother was in the house so our relationship…

Book Review: The Morrigan by Morgan Daimler
This is a very short review for a very short book. I think, if I had realized how short the Pagan Portals books are, I might have held off on this one. Weighing in at 79 pages for us $10.95. I generally don’t have that kind of budget when I’m not spending holiday present money…

Book Review: Witchery by Juliet Diaz
I really adore Diaz – I found her via her plant podcast last year, follow along on Insta, and have several of her other books in the review pipeline. This all to say that I’m going in to this book with a good deal of fondness. Sometimes that fondness means I might miss some issues…

Book Review: The House Witch by Arin Murphy-Hiscock
The House Witch by Arin Murphy-Hiscock I got the audiobook – I would recommend, if this sounds like a good book for you, get the print – there’s a lot of interesting recipes and I’m going to have to go back through the book to write the ones I really want to try down. The…

Magical Correspondence Reference Books: A Guide
There are many books out there with magical correspondence guides that can be incredibly useful in many types of spellworkings. I have a number of them on my shelves physically, digitally, and audio. Some of them I have reviewed (or will review in the future) on their own because they are also more than correspondence…

Book Review: Wild Witchcraft By Rebecca Beyer
Wild Witchcraft by Rebecca Beyer Narrated by Candace Thaxton This is another great book that you’d really be better served getting in print form, rather than audio for ease of reference. The narrator does a pretty good job with pronunciation and doesn’t come off as too stiff or robotic as some can. The production quality…

Book Review: The Healing Garden by Juliet Blankespoor
This is not a witchy book but a planty book so I’m not running it on my normal Tuesday. I have more than enough of those books to review – I’ve read an awful lot over the last 30 years or so. This is a different kind of book and I am so very glad…

Book Review: Garden Witch’s Herbal by Ellen Dugan
While I had no internet due to an outage, I actually read one of the physical books in my stack. For the most part, it was pretty good. This is not going to be a real review as the author is pretty well known and respected and most of the book was what you’d expect.…

Book Review: The Book of Hedge Druidry by Joanna Van Der Hoeven
This was another audiobook – in this instance read by Coleen Marlo who did a perfectly serviceable job with it. I picked this particular book entirely because of the word Hedge. In many places, the hedge, the boundary, is metaphor for the line between this world and the beyond, the otherworlds. It’s one of the…
