Witchy Book Reviews! Spells8 Book Club Reviews Masterlist - Sessions I ~ XXV

**Book Title and Author: I was quite bored by mine, i totally switched, the book I am now reading (and an so obsessed with) is Laurie Cabots Book of Spells and Enchantments

Status? : Still Reading, I tried to get through foraging but it was so dull and i have given up on trying to be an herbal witch! Not my forte at all! So I started this new book 2 days ago and am obsessed! Super detailed, fun to read and so practical! It makes magick seem much more personal to me and lets me experiment like i keep wanting to do, i now can add a few enhancing herbs or crystals or other things to my spells and have been having great results!

My overall rating of the book : ??? 10/10 so far!

How does this book relate to my magickal practice?: asked and answered( been watching too much of the Johnny depp trial :rofl:)

An interesting quote from the book:

So many good quotes in this book! Two favorites are

"No one can take away your personal power unless you allow it "
and

ā€œYou can see, feel and hear the enchantment wherever you go, in whatever you do.ā€

All in all, would I recommend this book?: Highly reccommend and a must for any witches library!

Thatā€™s a great review, I have seen that book before & wondered about it, like is it more of a reference book such as a cookbook type of set up or if it was in fact a book about them as a whole with the different ā€œrecipesā€ intertwined. I find that a lot with books about deities & their stories or associations.

Thank you so much for sharing your review! :blush:

Hahaha nothing wrong with having a book that draws you in! :laughing: Keep on reading, Khadija- I hope it continues to get better and better for you! :open_book:

Good for you for being honest with yourself and not being afraid to switch it up when something isnā€™t working- and hooray that your new book is such a great one! :star_struck: :open_book:

Book Title and Author: Spellcrafting by Aris Murphy-Hiscock

Status? : Still Reading

My overall rating of the book :8/10 so far

How does this book relate to my magickal practice?: an excellent guide to spells, correpondences, energy and more

My personal thoughts/opinions: Where did the time go? Iā€™m only half way through, but it is excellent. It goes into lots of detail about spellwork from conceiving the concept of the spell, phrasing it, selecting ingredients and times, raising energy, andā€¦more stuff I havenā€™t gotten to.

An interesting quote from the book: ā€œIf the Divine could be limited by what we envision, then the Divine wouldnā€™t be the Divine.ā€

All in all, would I recommend this book?: Yes
