really good and subverted my expectation

I was pleasantly surprised with this book! I had assumed it would carry the same tierd tropes of basic witchcraft that is in any new age book but instead takes a secular view on magic and witchcraft which is pretty refreshing.

I have a singular complaint and that was in the familiar chapter. Guinea pigs are herd animals. They are very social and the author notes a con of "not being a pack animal" so it rubbed me the wrong way but its a minor point so no points taken off for that lol.

LOVE IT & HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Excellent, straight to ths point Witchy information and advice. The Spellcraft is uniaue, workable and practical. Great ideas for anyone to be a Bold Witch by embracing concepts that make you standout as an individual not a drone. The Narrator does a good job and easy to listen. Overall this Book would be a fine addition to any Pagan's Library

Fun book for your hocus pocus curiosity!

A friend bought this book for me after seeing it on my wishlist. I started reading it and I was really entertained but short on time. I ended up purchasing the audio version so that I can listen while driving and showering. It's fun and insightful with a creative perspective on modern witchcraft.
