Welcome to all of the witchy book-lovers here in the forum!
Book Club 47
ā Reading Session: April 3st - April 30th ā
ā Review Session: May 1st - May 31st ā
Thank you again to everyone who joined in for last monthās reading session! For those who havenāt yet shared their thoughts about their book (or anyone who enjoys reading book reviews!) you still have time to do so in 46th Spells8 Book Club - Readersā Reviews!
As of today, the 47th book club reading session has now begun!
Begin by announcing your book
The first post below is an editable wiki post- add your book title and name to the list! (instructions below)
Know that you have [[ the whole month ]] in this reading session
While it is great if you can finish your book during this time, it is okay if you break it into chapters or sections- do as much as you can and know that doing your best is always good enough!
As youāre reading, feel free to share your thoughts!
You are very welcome to share any thoughts or tidbits while you read in the comments below or in a new post in the forums. Just save the best parts for the final discussion at the end of the reading period!
Join the final discussion
When the month is over, a discussion post will open encouraging all readers to share a review of their book and any personal thoughts they have about it. A mini-review is perfectly fine, and there will be a suggested format for anyone who would like to write a longer review.
While everyone is free to choose their own book, you may consider reading along with someone else ! It is fun to share thoughts and insights about different books and even more exciting to do in-depth about a book with fellow readers
If the book you plan to read is already on the list below, add your name to the list of others reading that book! Please keep in mind that everyone will reconvene and chat together in the Readerās Reviews discussion, regardless of which book you read
Sorry about that, everyone I had a busy end of March and beginning of April and forgot a part of the book club! Thanks @BryWisteria for taking care of that for me
Iāve added my book, Psychic Witch by Mat Auryn. Iāve had the audiobook for awhile but Iām not getting through it easily.
I have a paperback arriving tomorrow.
I love that book! Honestly I love all of his books. I have the audiobook. I wish I could collect all of his titles in paperback. My witchy funds canāt keep up with my wishlist.
@WrenEve - Psychic Witch is a pretty good book! Iām not too keen on Mattās belief system, but his exercises for psychic development and energy work are very solid. I hope you enjoy it!
@SpanishWitchy - Iāve heard great things about this book! Iāve never read this one, but Courtney Weberās book on Brigid was phenomenal. I hope you enjoy it!
I have had this book for some time now and have never gotten around to finishing it. But when i saw that you were reading it, I thought Iād read it as well. I love the parts I have finished.
Book Title and Author: Celtic Myth and Magick by Edain McCoy
Status?: Finished
My overall rating of: 8 /10
How does this book relate to my magickal practice?: I was wanting to learn more about the Irish goddess Brigid, and the ways the Celts practiced magic.
My personal thoughts/opinions: This is a good book if you want to learn the basics of starting out in magic, be it Celtic or Wiccan. What I really loved is the glossaries in the back. Thereās a lot of basic information there that can help you find which god or goddess to study. Although I was a bit disappointing they didnāt focus more on the gods. Or if they did it wasnāt memorable, and Iāve already forgotten it by the end of the book.
An interesting quote from the book: "Feel free to honor your God/desses, or your favorite aspect of them, whenever you are moved to do so. The best way to do this is to let words and/or music come from your heart. This is no time to be a slave to written rituals, especially since the arts of evocation and invocation are best accomplished by the solitary practitioner. You should never feel self-conscious in the presence of the divine. Their energy is a part of you (which is one of the reasons why it was so easy to call to you in the first place), and you should rejoice.ā
McCoy, Edain. Celtic Myth & Magick: Harness the Power of the Gods & Goddesses (p. 105). Llewellyn Worldwide, LTDā¦ Kindle Edition.
All in all, would I recommend this book?: Yes, if youāre just starting out. I think an intermediate witch would get frustrated.
