“this felt like being in a museum” “this felt like talking to an Aquarius “ I love the way you describe books ❤ thanks for the recommends

@TheWitchOfWonderlust Год назад

Oh thank you! I'm glad you enjoy my odd way of descriptions, haha.

@erinlayke Год назад

I liked the descriptions too, I felt like I actually understood what they were trying to say. I also really enjoyed the analogy’s given with the ‘stuffed animals and pickled heads’ book.

@isadore7221 Год назад

I love that more practitioners are doing these types of videos because so much of my craft is informed by non-witchcraft books. It has broadened my horizons so much ❤️

@manuelaurreaferrer3634 Год назад

I am a little Colombian witch and i really struggle with finding non satanized information about the craft and its history in my country. Although my search continues, i do want to recommend you " El libro negro de la brujeria en colombia" by Esteban Cruz Niño. it’s a compilation of stories and travels of the author and how he finds that witchcraft is so integral to Colombian culture and how its hidden in the mundane without being a how to guide for the magic he tells us about.

@TheWitchOfWonderlust Год назад

Thank you for the recommendation!

@Bethany.Loveday Год назад

‘Journey into Dreamtime’ by Munya Andrews. I highly recommend it to fellow animists and all practitioners across the world, not just Aussies💕 Munya is an Australian Aboriginal and she talks about some of the Aboriginal beliefs and practices surrounding their philosophy of Dreamtime. Being Australian, I purchased this book to learn more about the traditional custodians of the land I live on, but wow, I have learned so much more and have been mind blown with seeing similar views and practices that I have learned through more European occult practices having very ancient similarities, but far, FAR deeper, rich and ancient. A must read.

@2392Allee Год назад

Loved this! Can’t wait to read these 😊 some that had a huge impact on my practice: Braiding Sweetgrass - the quotes you shared from The History of Magic made me think of this! it’s written by a woman who’s both indigenous and a scientist: “I could hand you a braid of sweetgrass, as thick and shining as the plait that hung down my grandmother’s back. But it’s not mine to give nor yours to take. Wiingaashk belongs to herself. So i offer, in its place, a braid of stories meant to heal our relationship with the world.” The Earthsea books by Ursula k. Le Guin (I’m convinced Ursula was a witch) Dune W.B Yeats’ preface to Lady McGregory’s Irish Mythology

@xJadeWolfxx Год назад

To some of the last points about learning your local plants, it made the world feel both bigger and less alien. To know what the flowers were along the trail while hiking, to spot things like wild (or feral) St John's Wort or to try to learn what otherwise unknown in the western occult world plants might be useful for in magic. I've been eager to see the Californian sticky monkey flowers come back this year with all the rain we've. Had, my field guide is almost as critical as my water bottle on trails now. That was largely inspired by videos on this channel.

@marierose8580 Год назад

I'm currently in the middle of reading Peter Wohlleben's "The Hidden Life of Trees" and oh my lord... the feeling it gives me sort of reminds me of what you said about Entangled Life (which I have yet to read somehow even though I literally listen to Rupert's son's music). It's so, so fascinating and has already given me a fresh pair of eyes during my forest walks and a deeper understanding of the complexities of tree life. Highly recommend!

@sofia32254 Год назад

''Women who run with the wolves'' by Clarissa Pincola Estes. It is more on how in every woman there lives a Wild Woman filled with passionate creativity and ageless knowledge. The book reveals its truths through old stories, fairy tales and their interpretations. Really inspiring..

@lissagandor7841 Год назад

One of my favorite spiritual-ish books was Wintering by Katherine May. It’s more like half series of essays + memoir. Just the way the author writes is so revealing and thought provoking

@alexandrakeenan3670 Год назад

Your description of Magic: A History reminded me of a publicly-available UCLA course called "Science, Magic and Religion". I don't recall the instructor using the triple-helix metaphor, but it was very much in that vein of talking about the creative tension between the three strands. It's still available on the UCLACourses RU-vid channel.

@kirstencorby8465 Год назад

Oh my gosh, Olivia, I was thinking about The Alphabet v. the Goddess right before you brought it up! The hand book brought it to mind somehow.

@jenniec7715 Год назад

"The Hidden Life of Trees" and "An Immense World" are wonderful.

@lisemzarate4029 Год назад

Illusions, by Richard Bach, gave me that affirmation of mindset when I was 19, and soothed some of those religious fears I was raised in. This book helped me learn how to manifest before I knew what it was, and the feather became a real life object in my life, it forever changed my perspective and plans for my future. Easy read, esoteric in nature, but overall an interesting story, funny and sad, super relatable.

@brandyjean7015 Год назад

I always appreciate the random meaningful 2nd hand book finds.

@storme7787 Год назад

All this past week I have been watching your book review and recommendation videos, as well as Chaotic Witch Aunt's, and let me just say I whole heartedly believe that I manifested you guys both releasing new book videos. I'm a little freaked out about it not gonna lie. I love you both so much, and feel like the information you give is so accurate and helpful to new/intermediate witches like myself. You just keep doing you ❤️ and thank you

@TheWitchOfWonderlust Год назад

Both of us were just saying, great minds think alike!

@storme7787 Год назад

Great minds do think alike 😂❤️

@kestrelthenaturewitch Год назад

Thank you for all the excellent reading material, I'm excited to dive into several of these! I'd also like to recommend the book "My Friend Fear" by Meera Lee Patel. I originally thought it was going to be one of those fluffy "just be happy!" books. Instead it was a road map of sorts to getting to know fear and build a relationship with it. It's also just a really pretty book, so, bonus points for that!

@VillageofShadows765 8 месяцев назад

Thanks for the post 😊

@violetrain28 Год назад

This book you've probably heard of but Women Who Run With the Wolves is an amazing read. Definitely occult related but completely different from your typical "witchy" book.

@hazelmartin7911 Год назад

I am pretty science focused as well, and actually thought I had one of the books you mentioned, but when I paused and went to look, it was actually called Talk to Your Plants. I've had Entangled Life in my books to read list for a while. This made me go ahead and get on the waiting list at the library. Thanks for such a great list.

@chellebelle6458 Год назад

These videos feel like I'm having tea with a friend at a cosy bookclub Meetup. Such chill vibes 😊♥️

@NovaStella_ Год назад

I've been using a plant guide app on my phone since watching your videos, and I'm saving up for an actual field guide from my bookstore. But it's so nice to be familiar with just the different species of Grass in my front lawn, and last summer I found out that the huge bush growing by my front door is EDIBLE HONEYSUCKLE. Strongly suggest familiarizing yourself with your local plants, it's so much fun :D

@genghisgalahad8465 Год назад

A rich trove discovery from Magic history that calls to me to Philippine nature Magick traditions! Excellent collection! Will make sure to round back when availing of this list! Thank you, Witch of Wonderlust!

@fenrirworg Год назад

just in time for this video! i just finished watching the previous book recommendations video you made, can't wait to check out these books too! thanks!

@WisdomClarity Год назад

Thanks so much. Watching your journey has inspired me in so many ways and comforted me at some of my darkest times.

@katelynstrack4964 Год назад

Love your book review vids! I never fail to find something interesting to read!

@wendysweeklywisdom9396 Год назад

Absolutely love alphabet and the goddess. Helps to understand younger peoples mindset as due to the early use of qwerty keyboards they are stimulating both hemispheres if the brain. This relates the the more visual use of if emoji’s in communication etc… highly recommended reading!

@lilyshealinggarden5648 Год назад

Thank you.. this really helps, I am still building my practice and how spirituality relates to me, I don't know.. but thank you

@marshahostetler Год назад

Hello I am new here and I so appreciate your reading list the first one is one that spoke to me. I am very connected to earth energy right now I have been working with it for over a year now. It comforts me so I was so excited to see this on your list. Love and light to you!

@FnkyMdnss Год назад

Not here to comment on the content itself, but for some reason I haven't seen any of your videos for a while and just ... I wanted to really appreciate the VIDEO QUALITY, like... IMAGE quality. It is top notch, hella amazing! 🤩🤩🤩

@TheWitchOfWonderlust Год назад

I appreciate that!

@Heybaby_124 Год назад

Hello! I just wanted to say thank you for all that you have taught me, you have been a major inspection and impact in my practice! I no longer practice witchcraft as I have finally found my true faith, but I still love and enjoy your videos. Thank you for being you and being here! 🥰

@stringtheorywitchcraft5370 Год назад

Who's in your room - Ivan Misner and Stewart Emery Required reading about networking for a business course I was taking. Hated it at first then had a fellow practitioner mention that this could contain interesting ideas for spiritual practice. I admit I laughed for a minute but changing the reading perspective made this book much more interesting. I suspect a number of topics from the business world could be similarly reframed. For novels, Small Gods by Terry Pratchett is a fantastic look at the concept of gods, divinity, the church, and belief.

@madisonb.3856 Год назад

This is a video I didn’t know I needed. Wonderful reviews☺️

@WindriderLirian Год назад

“Gathering Moss,” by Robin Wall Kimmerer-spoke to me so much more than “Braiding Sweetgrass.” I liked both books, no hate on her sequel, but something about “Gathering Moss” connected with me do much more clearly.

@vickyparsons Год назад

@melolore1280 Год назад

The lost book of herbal remedies is an amazing guild book. It’s opened my eyes to a whole plethora of goodies growing right outside my door. It has been immensely helpful. Blessed Be Olivia 🔮

@ashleybilke-blackfeatherst1618 Год назад

I found Horse Boy by Rupert Issacson incredibly impactful, as well as Wilding by Isabella Tree. Highly recommend both.

@nocterniaobscura Год назад

Interesting video, thanks for the suggestions!

@Artemis_in_the_Woods Год назад

Thank you for a wonderful video! Added some to my to read list (really want to read "The Plant Hunter" now!). If I can make a recommendation for non witchy books re fungi/microbes that were huge for me, " Liaisons of Life; From Hornworts to Hippos, How the Unassuming Microbe has Driven Evolution" by Tom Wakeford and/or "I Contain Multitudes: The Microbes Within us and a Grander View of Life" by Ed Yong. Edit to add: saw someone else commented about "The Secret Life of Trees", so fucking good. Can't recommend that one enough also.

yess another book videooo

@Kimseinstraa Год назад

This video feels exactly like how you describe "stuffed animals and pickled heads"

@jinxminx55 Год назад

the alphabet vs the goddess is super cool. he also wrote a book called art and physics that talks about how scientific discoveries have been prefigured by art. really cool.

@alaelensar95 2 месяца назад

As I biologist and someone interested in science overall I have been asked so many times if this doesn't affect my craft, but on the contrary the more I understand how the world works the more magic becomes present in my life. I don't believe science separates us from the world at all.

@CapitalTeaseBurlyQ Год назад

When I was a kid I always thought my mum's Readers Digest 'Magic and Medicine of Plants from 1986 was super cool. I have it now. It's just a great quick reference!

Well clearly, as a museum nerd, I'm going to need the museum book.

@buddhabro.9130 Год назад

Three books I've discovered, one of my all-time faves, Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer, OMG I love this book. The author shows how she is a botanist and scientist who grew up with her family's Naive American traditions approach to the land and nature. Sacred Actions by Dana O"Driscoll, A member of the American druidic society, talks about earth conservation through the structure of the wheel of the year. Lastly, I'm a practicing Buddhist, so I researched witchcraft in Asia. I found The tao of the Craft by Benebell Wen. In this book, she talks about how Taoism, Buddhism, and Confucian thought converge with witchcraft in the eastern esoteric tradition. (she also has a youtube channel)

@GravesRWFiA Год назад

in the 90's I wrote to one author who wrote a witchcraft book and while i liked some parts she kindly wrote back and explained how she had to include thing like casting a circle that EVERY book seems to have because the publishers require it to even look at it. As i progress I realize the books in my study are fewer occult and more natrualist on animals and plants

In "entangeled life" he wrote a bit too much about truffles. Like it was interesting, but it felt like "yea yea those are my studies, BUT DID YOU KNOW HOW MUCH I LOVE TRUFFLE!?" Which is funny dont get me wrong, I enjoyed it. But I felt kinda confused by it.

@TheWitchOfWonderlust Год назад

Okay I agree with you there😂 he definitely had a love affair with those truffles
