My Favourite Witchcraft Books - Part Two 

This was such a lovely video. They always are..loved these books. Especially the last one. I'm 64 this year and have gone through the menopause at 50..... Still am 😱 I've gone through a lot during menopause. Left a marriage of over 30 years... ( controlling coercive behaviour).. it's been really hard, so my menopause symptoms have been mixed in with the anxiety and CPTSD of what I've been going through.. At the moment 14 years into the menopause my words get jumbled up. I talk absolute jibberish some days. Simple words become ridiculous. I'm hoping my menopause symptoms end soon.. maybe they have... I can't tell... Thank you gorgeous your video

Your hair is so lovely! Thank you for sharing more lovely books! And yes, an over 40 viewer here. Maybe it's an age thing but I'm not really interested in following much younger people about things of wisdom and experience such as spirituality. Your channel is very cozy and comforting. I love how you take us through the things you want to share in a calm and authentic manner. Like having a chat with someone I can relate to, so thank you once again. I also have not had kids, the opportunity had not come up but it's not something I feel I need to do either, so I'm not disturbed over it but yes, it's when the door closes that there's a reckoning. But isn't that how life is anyway? A constant change and need for adaptation, just in different spheres. At this point, we should indeed be proud to have made it this far, learnt all that we have and still are, and take it easy on ourselves. I cannot wait to see your next video! Much love

64 years old here in California. Crone book is on Amazon but not digital

Hello thank you for sharing your books with us, I found your explanations and opinions very helpful about each one. I'm sixty one on Beltane and struggle with processing information, not sure if it's post menopausal or something else but your reviews are always very clear and helpful. I love my crone phase, I finally feel at peace with myself which is so empowering, blessed be 🌹

I had a hysterectomy aged 39. I'm a crone now. And a new witch, i only started on the path 2 years ago. But in my heart i've been a witch all my life i just didn't know it. I love your videos. Thank you for sharing ❤

I’m 53 menopause has latterly battered my emotions and body will look up in praise of the crone I would also say I’m an Earth Witch love watching your channel don’t feel like I’m on my own it’s a beautiful community 💜💜💜

Lovely video. I love witchy books and as someone nearing 40, it’s really helpful to hear from people on the path who are older than me. I may have to try more Ellen Every Hopkins. I’ve read Scottish Herbs and Fairy Lore but that’s all of her books so far.

Thank you for your video! I’m subscribing straight away. I could listen to you for hours. Blessed be xx

Hi Alison! Thanks so much for the book recommendations. 67 year old here:) I’ve had the Scott Cunningham book for many years and love it. I put the others in my wish list. Your hair looks so beautiful!

Thank you for the video I love books also and I have several of Scott Cunningham's one is called The Magical Household! I love to see your fur baby Kitty in the video 💜💜 My two often appear in my videos also. I am going to check into a few of your books! I love your advice and guidance! Have a great rest of the day or evening which ever it may be and Love Lite and Blessed Be! 💜💜 Tammie

Thank you Alison for another amazing book recommendations. I’ve added more to my list. Your videos and book recommendations bring me comfort and joy 💖✨🦋

I had hysterectomy aged 29 but I am so grateful that my boys were born the 6 years previous. I was not given hormone replacement and unfortunately, at the age I am now it has caused so many problems. Brain fog is particularly frustrating for me, but there have been some horrific problems recently. Vaginal atrophy is particularly horrid. I found a book called Witch Wisdom for Magical Aging by Cait Johnson. It is a very easy read but I would like to get a copy of " in praise of the crone".There is a book called Hagitude by Sharon Blackie too which is a fun read x I think as we age, we have an increasing need for women of our own age, who we can discuss these things with. Often, our parents and grandparents have passed, and we are very blessed, if we still have some of them here. Our parents were from a different era, so their take on menopause is often very different to ours. So yes, we need others who get it. Thanks for speaking openly about this matter, have a wonderful week xx

Hello Alison, thank you for your reading advice. I ‘ve found particularly interesting K. West ‘s ‘ The real witches’ year’ because it sounds attractive from your review but not a heavy task at the same time, not a book I must read from cover to cover to appreciate it, I suppose. I have little time available for reading at the moment , you know, and this book seems just fine for me now. I ‘ve just found a 2nd hand copy on Amazon 🎉🎉! Looking forward to your next video . Have a nice week 🥰

Love George paying attention xx

Hi again Alison! Thank you for another great book recommendations video💜 I think I'll look for that Crone book, sounds very interesting. I have a video suggestion, if you read fiction, I would absolutely love a video with witchy fiction book recommendations 😊

Hello Alison another fantastic video , gosh I don’t know if I’ve gone through the menopause 🙈 I’ve had the odd hot flush but I thought that was blood pressure literally one or two, I have had brain fog were I’ve forgotten how to spell words , simple words at that 🥴. I love your book videos and I’ll be purchasing some of your recommendations. Thank you for your hard work and for sharing . Blessed be . 🌸🌙

Uggggh the 'pause... that Dorothy Morrison book looks like a mandatory read... I experienced rage, lots of blind rage, plus flushes... and I haven't slept a full night in over 7 years... a loss of concentration skills, aches and pains, but thankfully no brain fog. Anyway, love books, so love hearing recommendations... my first may have been Starhawk, The Spiral Dance...I had a couple of Scott Cunninghams, still have his reference books. As I am in New Zealand, Juliet Battens Celebrate the Southern Seasons has long been the bible!! Haven't heard of Kate West!! Shall look her up.

Wonderful book recommendations 🎉 As an almost 54 yo lady myself, I appreciate adding new ideas and activities into my practice. I was a 15yo witch reading Cunningham, one if my favorite witchy authors of old ❤ Thank you for sharing. It's nice to see another of my age 🎉🎉

Thank you for another inspirational video. ❤😊 I'm 48 and completely empathise with the menopausal symptoms you mentioned! 🥵 My very first 'witchy' book was The Real Witches' Handbook by Kate West, and I agree she is wonderful! Brightest blessings to you. xxx

I sent my reply before correcting a couple of words... i blame the menopause...

Thank you Alison I always love your videos. I was drawn to the first Kate west book The real witches year, but I am not wiccan, I used to be but left as it stopped resonating with me. Could you please tell me is there a lot of references to wicca in the book? Thank you

Hi Alison, I have recently subscribed to your channel and love it. I have been told black salt is good for protection do you sell it in your shop and could you send e a link please.

I've turned 40 today! It's lovely to be considered 'young'😅

Where in Derbyshire are you my darling? I’m in Smalley ..
