Connect with your inner & outer world Review: I love this book. Wonderful for beginners! - I really enjoyed this book. She wrote about witchcraft in a completely neutral manner without favoring any specific tradition. I wish I had a book like this when I was a beginner. She explains topics in such a simple and uncomplicated manner. I love how she explains energy and how to it pertains to spells. It made me rethink how I've been viewing this subject matter. In addition, I love that she also gives you a short summation of each chapter. It helps to retain the info and makes it easy to find info as a recap. Finally, I also love the illustrations. This writer did a wonderful job. I recommend this book for beginners. I'd say it should be in your top first 2 to read as a beginner. Review: Add to cart- you won't regret it! - Hands down the BEST book for new (and experienced) witches! I am relatively new to witchcraft, but I have read my fair share of beginner books. Every book I read on witchcraft always left something to be desired. I found almost every book was either Wicca based or focused on deity worship which is great to learn about but can be overwhelming if it doesn't resonate with you and your craft. This book was an excellent read as it still included mentions of deities while mainly focusing on the base fundamentals of witchcraft. I am the type of person who wants to know everything about everything whenever I start learning about something new. This book was absolutely perfect for that! Although it didn't go into much detail (it is a general book on multiple subjects of course) there was still plenty of information included. Every single topic I have had questions about was included in this book! Everything from the moon phases and how to incorporate them into your craft, information on each Sabbat (including a tarot spread!), the elements, types of spells + timing of spells, practicing your craft discretely, divination, color meanings, candle magick, alters, tools, herbs, sigils, and so much more! I also appreciated the fact that the author included information on Native American practices that have been continuously misinterpreted and misused. She goes over how white sage and palo santo are involved in sacred rituals performed in Native American culture and how it is best to use alternatives. This was great to see as many witchcraft books do not emphasize the importance of this issue. Overall this was 100% the best book I have read in a long time. I absolutely adore the illustrations on each page & the fact the author provides a recap / summary for each chunk of information as it makes it much easier to memorize. If you are on the fence- just buy it! I have never written a review for a book before but this one had to be an exception! I hope to see more from this author in the future, she's brilliant :)

Best Overview
This is the best general Witchcraft information book I've read. There's just enough information provided with each section to understand it and decide for yourself if you'd like to research more on your own. I've been a fan of the author's instagram page for a while, so when I heard she was releasing a book I pre-ordered it immediately. I'm not a beginner anymore, but I'm working on consolidating my "beginner" research and this book is the perfect reference. The illustrations are GORGEOUS and the information is presented in a way that makes it easy to read. I especially love that the information is not specific to a certain tradition and provides suggestions to customize everything for your own needs. Getting started with Witchcraft can be really overwhelming but this book helps break it down so you feel confident starting your path with a good deal of reliable information. I would absolutely recommend this book to anyone at any stage of their path- it's beautiful and informative.

Easy to follow
This book is so much fun to read so far, it's beautifully written and takes all the guess work out of starting your own practice. It gives you the confidence and reassurance that it's ok to be in the broom closet! This book will be an excellent reference as I build my skills.

Great info, bad spelling
Great book with lots of good information and pretty illustrations. My only complaint is the amount of typos and grammar errors. It can be a little distracting to follow the book when there are errors on many, many pages. The two images included of errors are on the same page. Still would recommend the book for the information and visuals.

Visual Learner’s Reference Guide
I knew I wanted this book as soon as I started following the author on social media. As an intellectual but visual learner, I have a hard time finding reference books that thread that fine line between being too wordy or too simplistic. This book does that very well. The information is so accessible for both readers and fans of illustrations and infographs, like myself. It’s very well organized, and covers a variety of topics, inspiring the reader to dig deeper where and when they want without being pushy or preachy about anything. I’m also a big fan of just how practical it is! With recommendations for substitutions, it doesn’t feel like it’s trying to sell me more stuff. Use what you have, is something really important to me, and very much covered in this book. Highly recommend!!

El libro es es hermoso, lo que me molesta es que llegara tan maltratado, viene con todas las esquinas golpeadas además de que se encuentra curvado

This book arrived in brand new condition. I’ve been interested to learn more and never knew where on earth to start. I personally find it overwhelming searching through all the info online and so often I’ve put it off for another day. This book is my first, and whilst I’ve picked up bits of knowledge here and there from my searches, nothings really stuck as it felt vague and disjointed. Lindsay has really changed this around for me. Her book is written from the heart, with good intentions, that much comes through. It’s made it really easy for me and given me a great starting point. She makes it accessible and achievable. The information she provides is everything you need to start your journey strongly with an emphasis on individuality too. It’s practical advice, and knowledge that you need. Thankyou Lindsay and also Vicki for the beautiful illustrations. FYI there are typos as previous reviewers have left but for me I wouldn’t have noticed them at all if not for those reviews. It endears it more to me if anything.

un livre que j'aime beaucoup, bien illustré et informatif. Attention, il est en anglais, mais si vous comprenez le language, alors vous allez adorer apprendre la sorcellerie naturelle avec ce livre

I’ve been following the authors Instagram for quite some time now and been loving it since day one. Everything they publish on there is so well thought through and easy to understand and follow. Same with this beautiful book! It’s one of the best with that subject and very nice for a teenage witch to a senior witch and everything in between! The only really minor downpoint is the packaging. I have quite high standards with all of my books because I cherish them quite a lot, and when the covers are easily damaged it’s a bit sad. Especially with a book like this that you just don’t want to ever have NOT in your collection. I hope the next book will have a slightly more sturdy cover.
