I wish I could give this another half star, because when I finished the book, I felt sad, like I’d lost a friend who is unwaveringly, fiercely in my corner despite being a little strong on the “pussy power” rhetoric.

I got Witch to learn more about witchcraft after taking a candle magic class at my local bookstore. It was recommended, but I was at first taken aback by the calls to seek inside my womanhood, and menstrual cycle worship. But, with an open mind, it all started coming together and I value what the author is teaching us. It’s deeper than the practice of witchcraft. It’s about what women have lost of themselves over centuries, and taking it back for ourselves.

I did learn things about magick told in a way that hasn’t yet been told to me from elsewhere. Deep, knowledgeable, steeped in time, and yes, grounded in womanhood. So, despite giving this three stars (I’m trying to keep my rating system balanced), it will remain a very important book to me. I’ll be sending a copy to a friend who I know it will resonate with, but would not recommend it for everyone.
