Like sitting down with a mentor as you set out on a new learning path. The first half of this book covers some important basics of spellcasting, while the second half is dedicated to various spells that Lucy Cavendish has composed like delicious recipes for the soul.

Being a huge fan of the author’s podcast (The Witchcast With Lucy Cavendish), I couldn’t help but read this entire book in her soothing voice, making it a very pleasurable read. If you’ve ever heard her speak, you’ll know what I’m talking about :)

I really enjoyed the way those of us in the southern hemisphere were catered for, with solid explanations on the differences between spellcasting in the two hemispheres, but this may go without saying since Cavendish herself resides in Australia.

Not all of the information in this grimoire was new to me, but I did learn a lot, and I’m interested in trying out several of the spells for myself or borrowing bits and pieces to create my own unique spells.

This is essentially a solitary Wicca introductory book. It provides a great mix of info and tips for beginners and references the Southern Hemisphere, which many books overlook. Not really my thing, but got a few good tips and I can see it could be of great benefit to new solitary witches trying to find their way.

I found this very interesting and a good starting point for anyone interested in witchy things. My only thoughts are that it could have been longer! I would have liked to know more on some of the topics.

Far better written than contemporaries on shelf but would really like to see references to where craft knowledge comes from - more than '...a very old book on magick...' would instill a wee bit more confidence in a jaded market!
