Indigenous Taino Cuban bruja, seer, and spiritual activist Juliet Diaz is a font of knowledge on all things witchcraft, and Witchery is a perfect introduction. The book begins with the premise that Magick lives within each of us, and seeks to guide us to connecting with it in order to heal and grow through rituals, incantations, and potions. |

In this book, Appalachian witch and forager Rebecca Beyer “bridg[es] the gap between armchair witchcraft and the hedge witches of old” with a primer on the history of herbalism, and recipes and advice on foraging and gardening. Rooted in history and ecology, Wild Witchcraft seeks to foster personal growth and spiritual practice by contextualizing them in the world around us. |

Psychic and witch Mat Auryn takes a metaphysical approach to witchcraft in Psychic Witch. Rather than focusing on the rites and rituals of any one tradition, he draws on different philosophies of energies and cosmology to develop exercises in meditation and mindfulness. Psychic Witch brings a layer of spirituality and abstract thought to any witchcraft ritual. |

|
Both a feminist history and a practical guide to diverse witchy rituals, Missing Witches plumbs the depths of untold and obscured stories from around the world to shed light on the misunderstood cultural, political, and spiritual work of women throughout human history. |
