The Not Recommended List
I love books, I love reading, I love authors, and, in my day to day life, I am one. I write reviews because I know how much it can matter to the authors and to the readers. I do not tend to post negative reviews for books I don’t like. But there are exceptions. It…

Book Review: Witchcraft for Beginners by Mari Silva
I know I complain a lot about everything being for beginners for someone who keeps getting books with Beginner in the title. Ditto Wicca… So what happened was this – I got myself a cheap used kindle as I hate reading things on the computer, my phone doesn’t have enough free memory, my nook isn’t…

Book Review: Witch, Please by Victoria Maxwell
As seems to be both my preference and the norm for witchy books, it’s written in a conversational first person style. This is definitely a book geared for beginners. Again, if it hadn’t been in the humble bundle, I wouldn’t have picked it up because it is for beginners and I haven’t been one of…

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…

Life with Older Kids
It’s that time of year when kids head back to school. My oldest is in college, my youngest is in high school and I will fret and worry and all those mom things until we get the routine back in order. It’s easy with my oldest as they don’t really live at home anymore but…

Grounding
Every witch has a different method of grounding and it really is one of the more important things you learn to do. Grounding helps bring you into focus, brings your intent into focus, and clear your head of some of the other business that tends to exist in that space. I’m a root grounding witch.…

Shadow Work Prompts
Back again with more on shadow work! If you haven’t guessed by now, I do think shadow work is an important tool. I do not think that everyone should be doing it on their own. I know if I’d tried to do it on my own twenty years plus ago, it probably would have lead…

Tools of the Craft
When you first start out with witchcraft, it’s very easy to get swept up into the marketing and the commercialism that social media and aesthetics have attached to the craft. Honestly, it was that way before social media too – you read the books that listed all this fancy stuff for ‘proper’ spellworkings. I fell…

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…
