A Witch's Book of Wisdom

I read just about everything written by Patricia Telesco. She is an experienced magickal practitioner with over 40 years of experience, (I have over 30 years of experience, and I've learned a lot from her.) Originally printed in 2003, "A Witch's Book of Wisdom" is Granny Magick based, and I wish there were updates, because our way of life has changed with the advent of social media. That said, I think this is a great book for the new witch, and seasoned alike. This book covers the A thru Z of magick (literally), it's a solid edition for your library.

Thank you to NetGalley and Crossed Crow Books for this ARC.

A Witch's Book of Wisdom is the perfect addition to a new witch's library. It has alphabetically organized topics full of magickal knowledge from a very experienced practitioner. I appreciated that there were mediations, rituals, or other similar spells in each topic with prewritten incantations and an invitation to make them your own with modifications. The prologue of the book also invites the reader to leave space for disagreements and human error, which for me, leaves me feeling like the author is a friend. Patricia Telesco goes into detail about what type of role she is taking on in the book and the history of the Archetype of the Wise Person. You will enjoy this book if you are needing help finding your footing in your practice or maybe are just wanting some fun, easy going wisdom from somebody who isn't in your usual circle.

This was fantastic and full of knowledge for any witch on their journey! I knew some of the things inside the boom, however so much was learned.

This book is a gorgeous piece to add to your collection if you are into witchy things. You can tell that everything in this book is based upon lots of life experience, dedication, and care and that a lot of time and research was put into the topics.

A thoroughly charming book, packed with folklore, charms, spells, and as advertised, plenty of wisdom. The author shares beautiful morsels of knowledge from her decades of practice, and her warmth shines through in her writing. Highly recommended for witches and cunning folk of every sort.

This book gives a really good compendium for new witches and also experienced witches alike. I am somewhat in-between and I learned quite a bit from this book. The information was clear and well organised.
