The Witch's Book of Spells is a collection of over 100 spells and rituals perfect for beginner and seasoned witches. Within this treasure trove of a book, you'll find a spell or a ritual for any occasion you can think of, all of them organized by theme.

The book is broken into two parts, the first being an introduction to spellcasting, giving the reader background information on what spells are, how long they take, and what to do before you cast your spell.

The second part is where all the spells and rituals are, each chapter dedicated to a different theme such as sabbats, moon magick, protection, good luck, etc.

Sometimes in witchcraft books the introduction can feel a bit repetitive, every book going through the same basics of what witchcraft is but I found this book's introduction to be quite refreshing as it dove into aspects of spells and magick that I hadn't seen before.

I especially loved the section that went into detail about why a spell might not work and how to rework and write your spells! There is even a section at the end of the book that goes into correspondences of popular herbs, spices, crystals, etc. so that you can craft and create your spells.

I appreciated how Lindsay included spells that were not only powerful but didn't require a ton of difficult ingredients, making it a great resource to have for witches of all walks and skill sets. Each spell or ritual included a list with the ingredients, tools, method, and the best time to cast/practice.

Overall, this book is fantastic for both beginner and advanced witches. It has a ton of different spells and rituals with various themes as well as easy how-to guides and information.

I really enjoyed this book of spells. I had to share with my mom who does a lot of manifesting and sets intentions by the moon phases. I will be buying her and myself a physical copy of this to be able to reference and do some of these spells ourselves.

Spells by Lindsay Squire to be a wonderful resource, whether you're just starting out or are more experienced. Squire's guidance is practical yet deeply rooted in tradition, with clear instructions and beautifully crafted spells that align well with various paths. The book covers everything from protection and prosperity to self-care and manifestation, making it a versatile addition to any witch's collection. It's both informative and inspiring, striking a perfect balance between modern practice and ancient wisdom.

I absolutely love this book, the information presented here is super useful and easy to read and understand. Also the illustrations are so beautiful and fitting to each part of the book 😍
I think it's great for beginners as it covers many key aspects to start practicing, but at the same time it can be enjoyed for more experienced practitioners to find new perspectives or new ideas for spells and rituals.
Can't wait to read more of Lindsay's books ❤️

Lindsay Squire is one of my favourite witchcraft authors out there. Her content is accessible, informative, and able to be tailored easily to each person’s individual practice. I am always looking for inspiration for more spells, and The Witch’s Book of Spells is a great resource for a wide range of workings.

This is a great little spellbook! It’s not particularly special in terms of magic books but it’s very thorough and gives a brief overview of a wide variety of components of witch craft. I like that it has a preface where the importance of ethics and good intentions are. The only thing a bit underwhelming were the incantations for the spells. They were fairly generic and weren’t very creative, but it had a section on editing the spells for yourself so there’s always the opportunity to use these spells as a jumping point and from there you can make your own, depending on how advanced one is in witch craft.

Thank you Netgalley, author, and publisher for the ARC!

This is a great beginners guide into doing spell work. The way things were described in such a great way to make sure that it was too the point and easy to understand. I loved this, to be completely honest. I would recommend this to every new beginner who is looking to expand their knowledge.
