A journey of life, death, and devotions through the eyes of a modern witch
Ossman and Steel’s Appalachian Folk Healing | A Review
I remember the stories and old-school remedies from my grandmother and great-grandmother that they used to recommend, and I always wondered where some of those remedies emerged. I grew into a modern world that was shying away from herbal and home remedies. It is always fascinating to see the history of treatments and how modern medicine has changed with time. My grand and great-grandparents may have had Appalachian ancestors since they embodies aspects of that
The Witch’s Guide to the Paranormal | A Review
Many could argue that I am a dark soul who has been drawn more to the spirit world than the world of the living. So it is not surprising to find that I love working with the paranormal. So when I saw J. Allen Cross’s book The Witch’s Guide to the Paranormal, I knew it had to have a home on my shelves. A Paranormal Guide I Couldn’t Put Down When I began to devour

Anyone who knows me, knows I am a spooky soul. I love all things Halloween and even most of my Halloween décor stays up year-round as my normal décor. So, when I saw there was a new Tarot deck that revolved around my favorite time of year, I knew I had to have it. The Trick or Treat Tarot deck was so much better than I could have ever dreamed! The Trick or Treat Tarot
The Day of the Dead | A Review
I love autumn, and there is something special about the chill of the air and the feeling as the veil thins. I grew up in northern New Mexico, and I remember seeing decorations and hearing about my friend’s celebrations of El Día de los Muertos or The Day of the Dead. Still, I never got to participate or learn much about it. However, I have always been interested in the celebration, and Llewellyn’s Little Book of

The Shamanic Soul | A Review
I sat down one cool fall morning to start Daniel Moler’s book The Shamanic Soul, little did I know I would be sitting in my reading corner for the next four hours. I was glued to his book turning page after page absorbing the text like it was breathing life into my very soul. Many of the spiritual books I read have enchanted me in one way or another, but Daniel’s book is by far the
Amazing Chocolate Bread| Featured Recipe
This last week, I had the honor of getting to sit down with author Laurel Woodward and discuss gardening, sustainable cooking and living, and kitchen witchery. Laurel is the author of Kitchen Witchery and Backyard Garden Witchery. She is also a blogger, a sustainable gardener, and just a wonderful soul too! After exploring her blog and all books I fell in love with her Chocolate Bread Recipe and with her permission I wanted to share it
Priestess of the Morrigan | A Review
Several years ago I had been terrified of the Morrigan and yet so curious about her. I knew of her yet all I had heard from other witches was “she is too powerful to work with” or “you must be ‘X’ level of witch to work with her.” No one could have prepared me for the amazing experience of when she called me to work with her. It feels like a lifetime since that happened

Loki and Sigyn | A Review
I have been dedicated to Loki for many years now, so when I saw Loki and Sigyn by Lea Svendsen advertised in my Llewellyn catalog I knew I had to have a copy. When my box arrived, I jumped with excitement as I pulled the book out, and immediately ran off to read it like a giddy child. The book was far more amazing than I could have ever imagined! Lea Svendsen brilliantly brought you
