"Witch in Darkness: Magick for Tough Times, Bad Days and Moments of Total Catastrophe" stands out in the realm of spirituality and witchcraft for its accessible and empathetic approach. Kelly-Ann Maddox offers more than just advice; she conveys a genuine understanding for those overwhelmed by life’s challenges. Maddox narrates the audiobook herself, adding a sense of personal connection and making the listener feel accompanied by a friend in times of darkness. Maddox effectively balances magical practices with modern sensibility. She provides rituals and spells while contextualising them within self-care and personal empowerment. This makes the audiobook both a spiritual tool and a guide for emotional and psychological well-being, which is especially valuable in times of crisis. Maddox avoids the prescriptive tone common in self-help and spiritual books. Instead of dictating rigid rules, she encourages listeners to adapt the practices to their own needs and circumstances. This flexible approach makes the audiobook's content more inclusive and applicable to a wide range of situations. In summary, "Witch in Darkness" is not just for those who practise witchcraft but for anyone seeking a spiritual and mindful way to face life’s adversities. It combines ancient wisdom with modern insights, delivered through a comforting and inspiring narrative. Maddox offers solace and practical tools to rebuild strength and hope.
It was so wonderful to hear this narrated by Ms. Kelly-Ann herself! The introduction in particular is extremely personal, and the tone of the entire project feels like a deep conversation with a dear friend. I love that she recommends things to do when you’re feeling really good as well, so that you can prepare for darkness and navigate through it more easily.
She defines low-risk vs. high-risk witching activities and emphasizes the importance of alchemizing negative intentions into something more productive and positive. Anger is more useful when it’s converted into sheer determination, she says, reminding us to be ethical, even during extreme states.
Overall, this book is a gold mine of advice on how to feel better. I thoroughly enjoyed it! Special thanks to Watkins Publishing for lending me an advanced copy of the audiobook via Net Galley. I was so very excited to read this and it did not disappoint.
