Book Title and Author: Witchcraft for Tomorrow by Doreen Valiente

Status: Finished

My overall rating of the book: 8/10

How does this book relate to my magical practice: It provides a solid basis for the basics and the history of Wicca and witchcraft.

My personal thoughts and opinions: I’m not much into history, so for me this book was a bit dry. I suppose I was looking for a basic witchcraft book and what I got was a history book. It’s good though, there is some great sass about Crowley in there. LOL! Just not my cup of tea.

An interesting quote from the book: This quote comes from the part on sex magic and was just a short quote but I feel it should have been highlighted and starred. “The Tantras are indeed much concerned with magic; but magic is black or white according to the intention of the operator and the way in which forces are used.” I personally think that applies to all magic, not just sex magic.

All in all, would I recommend this book?: Yes, especially if you’re into history.
