The Witch's Workshop is a comprehensive guide for modern witches who want to cultivate their skills through the natural world. This book is organized by craft, with each project having its own dedicated section. There are sections on incense, ink, oil, dye, paper, powder, and candle making. Each section has a few different projects within them dedicated to a specific spell. The tutorials are detailed, accompanied with a touch of history. The photos are beautiful, and there's illustrations too. I loved the seasonal paper crafts, especially the dandelion paper; the wildflower seed paper was also interesting and I'm looking forward to giving that a try. Other specific crafts that I thought were unique: herb & flower inks/fruit & berry inks, necromancy incense, and more. I also appreciated the list of references in the back. Overall, this book is organized, research, and fun. This would make a great gift for someone, or a great guide to get yourself if you're a beginner or experienced witch.

This is a comprehensive book for folks who want to make homemade incense, ink, paper, dyes, oils, art supplies, etc with mostly natural materials, especially for magical purposes. I am not a witch but I am a lover of all things herbal, natural and artsy, so I enjoyed the book.

It is very wordy and could use more photos (there are photos of maybe half the projects) but it’s creative and fun. I didn’t really have any need for all the magical oils or candles and incense, and I have a couple of wonderful books entirely devoted to natural dyes so that section was great but not as in depth as my other resources. That said, there are lots of kinds of projects and a ton of historical information on witches throughout history (mostly European). Quite a good resource, whether you are a witch or just looking for interesting new ways to use natural materials for crafting.

The one thing I do wish is that there were more tools as in the title. I was hoping for some carved wands, dyed bone tools (my kids and I have made gorgeous deep purple dyed bones from found bones and spent elderberries), maybe even a handmade knife or carved spoons. That said, this is a great resource.

I read a temporary digital copy of this book for review.

I thoroughly enjoyed my time with The Witch's Workshop, more than I thought I would at the outset. I admit to not being particularly crafty or really hands on at all when it comes to making witchcraft supplies. I generally just purchase everything. So I wasn't sure if this would be a helpful resource for me, but I was pleasantly surprised. This book covers not just the making of various supplies like incense, dye, paper, and candles, but also the history and some science behind each of the items and their long time use in pagan practice. It's fascinating! Plus specific recipes using the items, such as a hand dyed tarot pouch or an edible butter candle. The beautiful photos help too, I'm always a sucker for pretty pictures. I still think some of the things, like paper pulp, will be beyond my current skill level, but I'm confident I can use this book to grow! There's references and further reading in the back, but not much in the way of using the finished products in specific spells and rituals, so you'll need the knowledge of where to take it from here. But for any witch or pagan who is looking to be more hands on in their supplies, this will be an ideal reference to have on hand.

Wonderful craft resource for a novice or established practitioner. Lots of useful hints and tips with gorgeous images.

Gorgeous craft book in the witches way. It was more of a craft book ,than say a spell book, and for the crafty girl I am, that was just fine! I especially liked the chapters on the natural dyes and inks.
Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for the ARC.

This is a really unusual book, I thoroughly enjoyed it. In it, we learn how to make our own incense, dyes, oils, candles, paper and so much more. The author is incredibly knowledgeable about her craft and I see this book being useful to anyone who wants to make their own tools for their spiritual practise, rather than buying mass produced items. The only problem I see is that there are a lot of ingredients in some of the recipes, particularly for the incense, which may add up to being quite expensive, so bear that in mind. I would recommend this book to anyone who desires to make their own craft items; this book gives you everything you might need, and more.

With thanks to Netgalley and Watkins Publishing for this ARC. All opinions are my own.

As a pagan, this book is super helpful. There are some incredible blends, information, explinations. The steps, the photographs, all of it was perfect. This is the type of book you want to give someone who loves the green/herbal path because the author really put care into it. They took their time researching, and only offer deep explinations of the hows and why.

This book is thought-provoking on the various projects that can be undertaken in this read. I found many recipes for candles, papers, powders, oils, and incense. It was very interesting how the different types of incense can be made, and the author details how to make each kind, then gives simple-to-follow recipes with ingredients to choose from. I found this book full of good information, on easy ways to enhance your practice, whether as a solo practitioner or in a coven. I would recommend this book for addition to our collection.

This book is packed full of fantastic recipes for any witch. Accompanied by stunning photography that inspires me to make some of the items listed.
I have not heard of the author before but the recipes in the book definitely lean towards the Greek patheon so I'm not sure if this reflects the authors personal practice. Having said that the projects in the book are clear and easy to follow and suited to any witch.

I adored this book. I absolutely loved the layout, images, and recipes included in this book and it was incredibly informative. I plan to order this book for myself when it is published and really dive in deeper to some of these recipes

This was a great collection of introductory witchy recipes! I liked the format and the recipes seem easy to follow!

What an array of information to be found in The Witch's Workshop! From dyes and inks to candles and paper, this book covers ways to create your own tools for the Craft. Any practitioner would benefit from this book, as there's so much information available within its pages. Highly recommend!

Thank you to NetGalley for allowing me to read an arc of this book.

As a beginner I found this book very helpful and informative. It taught anything from making natural inks and paper, to candles and incense. Definitely recommend this to everyone new or old to witchcraft

I really like this book. There's a lot of details for each recipe, there are a lot of different kinds of things to make. I really want to get this for my library so I can try to make some of the things with people during programs. I love all of the detailed photos. Very well planned book.

This comprehensive and well researched book is a guide to crafting your own magical tools.
