My Favourite Witchcraft Books - Part One 

Hi, I'm 59 and just finding my way back home. I practiced in my teens, but life tookover. Like many, I have been on an epic journey that has returned full circle to my beginning xx

I’m so happy to have found your channel. I’ve just subscribed I’ve made a list of your book recommendations. I have one of them which is the self care. When you spoke about The Real Witches handbook you got me all choked up because I felt that as if it was about me. You tugged my heart. I’m going to purchase that book as I have a certificate to use. Thank you for this video and sharing 💕🪄✨❤️

Thank you so much for these recommendations! I have the Witches self-care book but I'm really excited to start reading Scott Cunningham. It's really special how Kate West's book truly helped you finally feel comfortable with who you are. I love these recommendations and would love a part 2! Thank you for sharing :)

“Tools don’t make the witch” - great point

New subscriber here 😊 your video dropped into my feed and what a great channel! As a 60 yr old witch, I started my magickal journey as a teenager, its lovely to see your channel and look forward to catching up with everything you're sharing. Kate West is a fabulous author and I really enjoy how the writing within the pages of her books certainly resonate with many of us. Coming home is a good way to describe the actualisation and realisation of who we are!

I love Scott Cunningham books. I have them all I also have Solitary Witch Silver Ravenwolf.

Just found your channel and subscribed 😉Great clip ❤️Thank you and Bright Blessings 🙏

You’re such a lovely lady. Thank you for the wonderful recommendations. 🔮

"I found my way HOME" The mantra of almost all Witches when they find thier path at last! Great vid! Thanks for sharing!

Hi Alison, thank you so much for your recommendations. I have “The Green Witch” by Arin Murphy-Hiscock, but I think I’ll buy “ The house witch”, which sounds really interesting! Another book I own is “ The witch’s book of self care” which I love! I was particularly attracted by “ A witch alone” because you said it deals with solitary practitioners and lunar cycles, so I have just bought it from Amazon! As to Deborah Blake, is she the author of the famous ‘The Everyday witch tarot deck’? I have it… lovely. Thank you 🙏

Thank you so much for sharing this! I've been wondering about the magical household for a while and you might have pushed me over the edge! House work is my main focus but as I don't identify as Wicca either I didn't know if it was for me. Thank you!

Hi! I just found your channel via this video, I loved it and have just ordered four of the books from AbeBooks 😊 I too love Scott Cunninghams book about the magical household, it's so cosy! Books about witchcraft and the house and garden are so exciting to me✨ I'm a 40s something witch from Norway, and I don't know anyone who practices the Craft, so RU-vid is where I find some sense of community. So happy to have found your channel, can't wait to watch the rest of your videos, they look very interesting. Blessed be ✨💜🌙

Thank you!! I appreciate this video so much. Especially your personal experience that you shared so truthfully and generously.

I love this channel, it feels so intimate and friendly, informative and inspiring, I have some of these books, especially the house ones too, I love my home and the sacred space I have created within, these books help me with ritual ideas. Thank you for your inspiration

Really helpful and facinating list of books, you are right about books coming to you as well. I am excited to see if any of these cross my path, i will be looking for them xxx

Great recommendations, I am a new witch and a lot of these are going on my ever-growing book list! Thank you for putting this video together ♥

A wonderful and cozy video, thank you 🧡

Thank you so much for your recommendations 💚

Lovely book recommendations. I have a few of those titles but some are new to me so I'm looking forward to adding those to my reading list! Thank you!

I just found you and subscribed ❤ I'm also 50something. I've also spent so much of my life trying to "get it together" spiritually. "Go to church! Pray more!" It's never worked. I've been so careful trying not to give away secrets about how I truly felt about religion and spiritually. It's a little scary at first, but I'm starting to really fully embrace my own path. Im going to give The Real Witch by Kate West a try. I recently read Withcraft Therapy: Banishing The Bullsh*t by Mandi Em. It's the first "self help" book I've ever finished. Reread. Took notes. She delivers advice with a little humor and lots of practicality. It's a little cursy and may not be everyone's cup of tea. However, it really helped me get over some of my fears; like will people even like me if I start just being my authentic self. Thank you for the list!

Thank you for sharing your views and sharing parts of your journey xx

Thank you! No apologies for tears of gratitude and connection- Any book that feels like "home" is worthy of a few tears. Blessed be-

Thank you for these suggestions. I'll take note of some of the titles. I'm sure your video didn't land in my feed for no reason! 😀

I know that feeling of ‘come home’ I didn’t know what I was until I just started doing what I ‘felt ‘ I too was in the closet and I’m also fifty something , my upbringing was to be seen and not heard it was only after three grown up children and they all went to live their own lives that I decided to do the things that fill my heart and to my amazement my children encouraged me . Your emotion makes perfect sense to me , I was tearful watching. Thank you so much . I love your videos I am playing ‘catch-up ‘ now . Blessed Be 💕

I really enjoyed your video and will look into your recommendations. I look forward to more!

From another Fifty-Something maybe Witch, I just wanted to say that I love your videos, you are very relatable for me. I've just bought a couple of the books you recommended, so thank you. I would love to hear your story, how you came into your witchy powers etc in a future video 🙂

Wow I felt emotional as soon as you got emotional. I loved your recommendations they are amazing I have subscribed to you too. I love autumn it is my favourite time of year. 🥰 I can't wait to see more videos from you. Thank you so much. 🥰🦋💐

I just found your channel, so, "Hello!" 💖 I'm in Cheshire, UK. I found myself nodding along as you were naming each title, as I have many of the same books. I'll be hunting for the ones you mentioned, which I haven't got. Thank you for sharing. Xx

I'm so glad a found your channel today! These book recommendations are very interesting. I'm Pagan in belief surrounded by Christians so I keep my beliefs to myself. I absolutely love Autumn too. 🍁🍂

What a breath of fresh air your channel is, just come across and subbed obs 🤣what a lovely video! I love Cunningham and Marian Green is such a favourite. I do worry that some of the modern books are just regurgitating the masters and I prefer to go back to the sources and read the older books, which is why Cunnigham and Green are so useful to name but a few. I can't wait to watch your other videos. Im not Wiccan either but I agree and have often said it on my channel you can learn from all sources. Love Kate West! love that book its so magickal. Never apologise for being emotional about your craft and as a massive book lover I get how important a book that brings things into perspective is. lovely video x

Loved this video! The book that had the most impact on me was one by Soraya, I first read it in my teens, and although I'm not Wiccan, like you it struck something within me :)

You had me at Autumn lol! I have also been very drawn to Autumn my whole life. It was what really brought me to this path. I'm so happy to have found your channel, I hope you keep making more videos because it really helps..to have someone us 50 somethings can relate to! Loved your book recommendations..just got the last 2 from your list! Thank you so much! xx 🧡🍁🍂🎃

Wonderful video. I have a few of these books, just started the House Witch.

Really enjoyed this video, I am new to the craft and loved your honest reviews on some great books to get! Thank you ☺️

Just ordered the real witches handbook, A witch alone and magical household thank you so much, I'm so glad that I found you. Blessed Be 🙌

Your book recommendations are fantastic. Great share thank you 🙏

Such wonderful recommendations! I have a witch alone and a witches book of self care. Definitely going to check out the Earth Magic book and some of the others. I saved this to rewatch so I could write down the titles. May I recommend Rebel Witch by Kelley Ann Maddox and Walking the Self Worth Path by Lisa Papez as two that have been helping for me in developing my practice! Thank you for sharing the two most precious books that led you to this path. I love hearing how others came to the craft. Take care.

Just stumbled on your channel and I adore your style. Great recommends down to earth advice is my go to at this time. These books looks so cozy and helpful. edit: a bit of emotion is wonderful and I appreciate your vulnerability.

Thank you for your recommendations, I have a few of your books, no Kate West though so I will look into that. I can relate to what you said and when you mentioned coming home, I knew you were going to say that, because I felt the same when I found witchcraft. My favourite author is Cassandra Eason, I was drawn to her as she is a solitary witch and I was very lucky to meet her many years ago and do a mini workshop with her. So my favourite book is of course by Cassandra and really helped me on my path which it is called A year and a day in Magick, it’s old but can still be purchased on Amazon, it’s not cheap though. Sorry I have gone on so long, I love your videos 💜

These are lovely books! I am greatly interested in books like 'Everyday Witchcraft' because I'm trying to incorporate my craft into my everyday life. Thank you so much for sharing!

Great video! Great book collection!😁

This was very enjoyable! I always love seeing everyone's witchy books and we seem to have similar taste! I also recommend The Way of the Hedge Witch, by Ann Murphy Hiscock, The Hedge Witch's Way, Hedge Witch and The Green Hedge Witch, all by Rae Beth, Hearth and Home Witchcraft, by Jennie Blonde, and any of the books by Tylluan Penry, for starters! So many books that are amazing out there! Have you read through the Llewellyn Essential Sabbats series? They are so much fun!

I just ordered a kitchen witch from another witch from Etsy. The poppet is used a good luck/protective charm. Your kitchen is your cauldron! Blessings to you

Thank you!

I just found your channel, I enjoy your content and look forward to seeing more of your content in the future❤

I've always really liked Hedgewitch book of days by Mandy Mitchell. It's another simple cottage witchcraft style book that's lovely. Over the years I have read so many, starting back in the late 90's with Titania Hardie and Kate West. I love the Arin Murphy Hiscock books and some of Melusine Draco's books too. A recent addition for me is the green witches guide to herbal magic by the lovely RU-vidr the green witch, Annabel Margaret.

This was So Much FUN & I APPRECIATE Your Suggestions🔮TY!!!

Lovely video. Im definitely going to look into a couple of those books. The last two sound like what i need.

Really interested in your recommendation of books..I have a few now on my list to buy.your pentagram ring is so beautiful

Thanks for sharing your recommendations with us! xo, Aurora

Hello! I recently found your channel and am really enjoying your videos. I'll be 50 this year and have been a witch for most of my life. 🙂

I love Autumn most of all but the other seasons too x

I just found your channel. Thanks for the book recommendations!

I’m at last finding time ( making time!) to catch up with some more of your lovely videos. I have The Green Witch by Arin Murphy- Hiscock - I actually bought it last summer, I found it while I was browsing for books for my son’s partner - it’called’ to me & my deep love of nature (& I also bought a copy for my son’s partner too - she’s very similar to me, we share a lot of the same interests). It was reading it that first sparked in me the need to, at some point, set up my own altar. I put it on hold though as we’ve been busy refurbishing our new home. I of course have The real witches handbook, thanks to your recommendation 🥰🙂 It’s a gorgeous book & , while I haven’t yet finished it ( other things have had to take priority- my father in law has had another stay in hospital, so we’ve been focused on that) I’m finding it so easy & accessible and ideal to dip in & out of too, so I can indulge in even short bursts of reading & absorbing it. Thanks for the other recommendations too - I love books & reading & your vivid descriptions are great. Xx ❤️🌸

Thank you so much for these great recommendations! New subscriber! Love from Atlanta🍃💕✨

HUGSS!!

I have all these books 📚 ❤ Good choices. 👍🏼 We are each on a different journey, so different books will spark different feelings. I actually recommend reading any and every book new and even older witches can get their hands on. I’ve been a witch for near 25 years. It is a very rare instance that I read a book and not get anything out of it. Sometimes a book can spark a single thought or concept - often well worth the price of the book. Other times a book on The Craft can be a treasure trove of knowledge. Sadly, the newer generation of witches seems to have a distaste for the older books. I find this troubling, because they are missing vast knowledge from our Elders. While we all say there is no “rule book/Bible” in Witchcraft, I find that seriously undervaluing the experience of witches who have been in The Craft for decades, if one is thinking the Old Ways is “old school” and not worth paying attention to. Anyway… soapbox moment done, LoL - I enjoyed your video. 💕Peace & Blessings, 🙏🏼 Sister Crone 🔮♥️

If anyone enjoys "Earth Power" by Scott Cunningham, keep an eye out for its sequel "Earth, Air, Fire & Water"!!

Just found and subbed to your channel. 72, 35 year practitioner, great recommendations for any level!

New subscriber and new "Baby Witch." Great book review! I'm going to check these out. Thank you from America.

I had the real witches handbook but lent it out to someone and they never returned it. I have just bought another copy. Thank you x

I think I will have to follow you. You even have a cat!

Tools don't make the witch, the witch makes the tools.

Try a spell in the wild by Alice tarbuck.

Omg! An older witch like me! I'm 36 (I'll be 37) and I just found your channel. I would love to make friends possibly if you are into that. I can't wait to see more of your content. Definitely following and liking what I can! --Vyvyan
