I’ve started the audiobook for The Witching Year and I’ve noticed something interesting, so I’m just going to dump it all here 
It’s been a long time since I was a beginner witch and there are a lot of things that I know that I have just known for a very long time. Listening to this book and the author explain her entrance into witchcraft and Wicca has been sort of eye-opening. She describes the contradictions in so many books all written about the same religion, Wicca. She discusses the variations in myths about the Sabbaths, some variations I have never even heard before. As someone who hasn’t been a new witch in a very long time, it helps me remember just how confusing getting into witchcraft can be for someone who has no background to base their practice on. It just puts the thought in the back of my mind that I need to be sure I am explaining things in a way that is helpful when people ask questions so that I don’t do a disservice to the new seekers who are simply trying to understand.
She also has a fresh way of seeing witchcraft and makes some pretty funny comments like the one below 
…a cauldron, a pentacle, a chalice, a bell, a censer, a candle snuffer, an athame (a ceremonial dagger), a boline (a different ceremonial dagger), and an unconscionable number of candles. This is in addition to the dolls, crystals, flowers, crowns, centerpieces, and other handmade craft items specific to the season. I am once again reminded that witchcraft is truly the religion of crafters. I don’t know why I’m worried about finding a coven. I could probably walk into a Michael’s and shout, “As I will it…” and just follow whoever shouts back, “So mote it be,” like a game of Marco Polo.
