"Mya Spalter's book Enchantments: A Modern Witch’s Guide to Self-Possession is an enjoyable and informative read. It gives an overall idea of what Enchantments is all about. There are chapters on altars, candles, plants, astrology and much more. Mya’s approach is fun loving and whimsical making this a must-read for all customers of Enchantments." ––Ana

​"Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estés’s Women Who Run with the Wolves: Myths and Stories of the Wild Woman Archetype is full of allegory and a bold read. I found this book to be insightful and soul touching. It is for any person wanting to prepare for deep spiritual work. Although it is more about the feminine, men should read this too with an open perspective. In the end it benefits them as well to understand more about the wild woman archetype and what it might mean for the women in their lives." –– Ana

​"Papus’s The Elementary Treatise of Occult Science was an influential book originally written during the French occult revival that occurred during the late 1800s into the early 1900s. It covers theories and symbols used by the Kabbalists, Freemasons, alchemists, astrologers, and ancients making it a good introduction for the modern-day occultist. The most fascinating theme for me in this treatise is the approach to decoding esoteric symbolism."  –– Ana

The Kitchen Witch's Cookbook, by Patricia Telesco 

​"This book first taught me the art of magical cooking and adding intention to the ingredients. The book offers so many recipes for so many different things and makes it fun to figure out new combinations of magical ingredients. It also provides space to write your own recipes."

​Strength of Sensitivity, by Kyra Mesich 

​"This book was a life saver for me. It is a holistic approach to understanding empathy. It takes a psychological approach to changing the way we think about being emotionally receptive individuals. The author explains that to lead a balanced life we must shed the idea that being emotional is a negative trait. And since we are so receptive, we should take care of our bodies and achieve balance to be able to withstand the emotional and physical affects that our sensitivity creates." ​

Witches are seekers. We're curious individuals with an insatiable thirst for knowledge in a multitude of forms. And there's a lot of information out there already on the internet – which is an amazingly wonderful, but also sometimes not-so-great thing. So how do you sift through it all and distinguish the good stuff from the just 'eh' or even worse, the really, really bad stuff? 

Each week, we'll be adding our favorite book recommendations with blurbs about why the book matters to us and what you can expect as a reader. Because, after all, knowledge is power. Happy casting, happy reading, blessed be.
