I come from a Pagan family and we don't necessarily practice witchcraft, but we do observe the Wheel of the Year and hold significance space and reverence for nature and the earth. That being said, I wasn't going in to this book expected to have my earth shattered, but I was pleasantly surprised that I learned some new things, and I always enjoy learning about other people's practices, as spirituality and even specifically paganism can be so individual and personal.

I received this as an audiobook, and while it was lovely and I appreciate that the audiobook medium makes this accessible to a wider population, this is truly a book that should be printed and owned tangibly.

All the witchy info and history you could want in one place. I found it very interesting and narration flowed smoothly and was easy to listen to.

A lovely, lovely book. A Confluence of Witches explores a variety of personal journeys in a collection of essays and practices. If you are interested in the spiritual paths of other people, in indigenous practices, in the intersection of community care and social justice, this book will provide plenty of food for thought and action items while challenging you to explore your own path. Thank you to the authors, editor, narrators, publisher and NetGalley for the audio ARC.

I am always a bit sad that I only get to live this life as myself and appreciate anytime I get to peek into someone else's lived experience. This book is that gift. This is not my spiritual journey - it was a joy to encounter such a thoughtful and compassionate collection of others' experiences. I particularly loved the chapter on bees. The sheer variety of voices made for a thoughtful reading experience. The care that went into assembling this collection is evident.

What I loved about this book was the different perspective each writer had concerning their craft. The stories flowed together nicely and made listening to the audiobook enjoyable.

I think I would have rather had a copy that I could visually read so I could reference back to it.

Thank you Netgalley and Dreamscape Audio for the Audio ARC.

This was interesting on multiple levels, but the 1st half is really just random tidbits on paganism across various cultures worldwide. The information was interesting but was quickly followed by unrelated but also interesting information. It did not feel cohesive. I kinda felt I was listening to an anthology of paganesque worldwide practices. It was interesting but chaotic.

This is basically a 'bible' of spells, practices, histories, medications, essays, and other writings on the topic of Lunar importance in worldwide pagan belief systems.

This definitely has value and adds to the conversation on witch or pagan beliefs and practices worldwide focusing on the moon. I just think this needed to be more ordered in the dispensing of this knowledge.

This audiobook is narrated by Morgan Dalla Betta and Krysta Gonzales. They both did a job keeping this somewhat loose text flowing and interesting.

Thank you to Casey Zabala, Dreamscape Media, and NetGalley for the opportunity to listen to and review this audiobook. All opinions and viewpoints expressed in this review are my own.

Thank you to NetGalley and the Publisher for the eARC in exchange for an honest reivew.


I listened to this as an audiobook and enjoyed to narrator. The book itself was a great read and I would recommend it for the diverse essays, tales and tips/tricks it contains.

This was a really enjoyable and informative book. I have read quite a few books about witchcraft and this modern edition was really great. I learned about parts of witchcraft that I never knew before.
I highly recommend this book for anyone who wants to know more about witchcraft and different parts of the practice.
This book is a collection of different authors and stories, combined to give a broad picture of what witchcraft is.

A Confluence of Witches is a compilation of myths, witchy history, essays, meditations, and commentary gathered from a variety of practicing witches. I loved the diversity of voices that we hear from in this anthology, and some of the rituals and reflections described gave me eager inspiration for my own.

I did find the first half to be particularly dry, and other than an interesting fact here and there, I didn’t really enjoy the book until the second half. I personally wasn’t a fan of the writings on digital cosmology, but not everything is going to resonate with everyone. It was an interesting read and stirred some genuine reflections, but it’s not something that I’ll come back to.

”…magic is a force akin to gravity or light. It is essential, inherent, sentient, existing for its own purposes and by its own rules. We can bend magic so it produces and amplifies particular results, just as we can bend white light through a prism to produce refractions of color. This is where art comes in. We bend the forces of magic through ritual, sound, image and poetry to point its energy in a particular direction to produce an astounding array of quantum outcomes.”

This compilation of diverse texts is a compendium of spells, histories, essays, meditations and other writings that show how witchcraft has existed in various forms throughout time and cultures.

“The stage had already been set by the patriarchal Greek culture that celebrated taking the earth goddess out of the oracles’ mouths and replacing their voices with that of the sky god. Colonial culture continues to skew its measure of intelligence and comfort toward the rational male who dwells in cities, and to model its definition of stupidity and terror after an irrational female who dwells in nature.“

I received an audio advanced reader copy from NetGalley — I would recommend getting this as a paper book, though. I imagine anyone who is personally interested in exploring this topic will want to flag and mark up their own copy, and be able to flip through as a reference.

I received A Confluence of Witches through Net Galley as an audiobook. The narration was softly, peacefully spoken. Merely listening to the tone is healing and relaxing. I want to explore all avenues to peace and self care and this title provided information about healing of self. Each chapter offers a different opportunity to explore personal development by different authors. This book exudes kindness and caring across all cultural divides. This book revealed the positive, supportive side of witches…non-confrontational…not divisional…not an invitation to the occult. The “recipes” for an empathetic experience seem so comforting. A gentle mental health retreat.

What a great title. I learned so much about the history involved and I enjoyed seeing a glimpse into someone else's practice. We all learn from one another, after all! A great title for a novice or expert!
