20 Best Books About Witchcraft (2023 Update)

The Green Witch is a naturalist, an herbalist, a wise woman, and a healer. She embraces the power of nature, drawing energy from the earth and the universe. This book is a very good reference point for those leaning towards Green Witch. I definitely recommend that you purchase and indulge in this great read and learn about the Green Witch path. From how to use herbs, plants, flowers to make potions and oils for everyday healing. To how to use crystals, gems and stones and even twigs that can be helpful.kimberly.m

Loved the cover. Was very good as a starting point to find what you wanted to learn more about, but had great info about a lot of topics. I really enjoyed the recipes and the tone of the writing.ozzygirl

Absolutely gorgeous book. I use it loads now. Very enjoyable, inspirational & relaxing to put some/many of the journalling idea's into practice. Packed with informative easy to read idea's. Very much recommend. A pleasure to read .shabor74

This is a hardcover, well-bound book. The interior pages are of nice quality, thin paper but nice printing. I like the illustrations and quirky inclusions on some of the pages. It will be great addition to my witch decorations for Halloween.Jen RS

This is the most pathetic excuse for a book on witchcraft. Makes a mockery of Witchcraft. 90% of it is nonesense and the other 10% is not good enough to save it. If you just want a book that looks good as a decoration, great. But if you want something useful, don't waste your money on this garbage!Real Witch.

I HIGHLY do not recommend this book to any baby witch or anyone who wants to start witchcraft, Anastasia Greywolf's work is ripe with inappropriate cultural representation, from using charms from strictly closed practices to getting thing completely wrong with its Celtic works. Even using a somewhat slur during the entire book to describe Romanian culture! this book is terrible and I regret spending my money on it. The illustrations were nice though 🙂Emma

This is a very informative book. It has a good bit of information about crystals, herbs and plants. The moon cycles, spells et cetera. It is a very good companion book to many other books I have in my collection of new age, crystal healing, nature homeopathy, and the like. If you're into this kind of stuff, it's pretty good to have in the arsenal of books to study and have on hand.Aferguson1413

If you love astrology, plants, and spiritual practices then this is for you! Full disclosure, I’ve not finished this yet. However, this is right up my alley and I am enjoying it so far. I wish it was a hardback book but I just have a preference with books. I’m trying to learn herbal medicine and more about the properties of herbs and plants that most Americans aren’t educated on. Definitely recommend!ERDreviews

This book is creatively written and wonderfully laid out. Part one of the book explains what Green Witchcraft and how witchcraft is growing. This book goes into the history of green witchcraft and ways to communicate with nature. This book goes from herbs and greens that can be blended into incenses and gardening tip of plants and moon phases. This isn’t something I would have typically picked up but it’s interesting and intriguingly well written.JessicaP

A reference book for all levels who are into crafting. It needs to have the dates of the wheel of the year and Sabbats flipped to suit the southern hemisphere crafting practitioner.Healing Lady

This book is MASSIVE!! Lots of content and about a foot tall lol. It's also soft cover and arrived earlier than stated, which is perfectly fine for me ahaha.leprie58

This book is part history, part witchcraft instruction manual. Much of the witchcraft is being passed on by the author from an heriditary Scottish witch whom he had befriended. It's fascinating and intriguing, and could be read purely for interest even if you don't intend to practice any Scottish magick. My only small quibble is that instructions for carrying out some of the activities are sometimes a little confusing, but if you've read Raymond Buckland before you'll know what I mean.Cross Stitch Fanatic

This is such a fascinating topic, so it should be a fascinating read. Sadly, it's not. Its boring, it's waffley, it drifts from topic to topic with no purpose. It sometimes feels like the book was written purely as a vanity project as the author can barely go a page without mentioning how many books he's written. There are photographs, which are of extremely poor quality and illustrations that were clearly done by someone other than an artist. All in all, an absolutely appalling book that should never have made it past the publishers desk.KM

The Very Secret Society Of Irregular Witches is the second stand-alone novel by British author, Sangu Mandanna. At the latest meeting of the group that Mika Moon likes to call The Very Secret Society of Witches, the rules of remaining apart (Alone is how we survive) and the reasoning behind them (Too much magic left unchecked in one place would draw attention, which could be dangerous) are reiterated, and Mika is again criticised by the oldest, most powerful and persuasive witch, Primrose Everly, for her witchy social media videos. Mika is undeterred: no one could ever believe from her videos that she's really a witch! The email she receives, not much later, has her thinking twice about that: "WITCH WANTED. Live in tutor wanted for three young witches. Must have nerves of steel. Previous teaching experience not necessary. Witchiness essential." Surely a hoax? But she's recently jobless and her flat lease nearly up, and a single word in the email exchange has her driving from Brighton to Norfolk to check it out. Mika meets her prospective employers: a housekeeper, a librarian, a gardener, and a retired actor, if not Lillian Nowhere, the absent archaeologist, witch, owner of Nowhere House and the legal guardian of three young witches. Most are very welcoming. The job, genuine, it turns out, is to tutor three young witches in magic, to help them gain control over their powers. Mika is amazed that this little enclave of witches has gone unnoticed by the imperious and inflexible Primrose but Nowhere House does have some powerful wards protecting it from detection. And this quirky foursome clearly loves and cares deeply about their charges. Mika is not at all sure she can do this job: she has no experience with teaching children. There's also the urgency: Edward Foxhaven, Lillian's solicitor is due to arrive in weeks on a legal errand, and this meticulous man, who detests Lillian's employees, is likely to seize on any excuse to have them evicted; an outbreak of uncontrolled magic would easily fit the bill. And then there's Jamie Kelly, the devastatingly handsome but scowly, cold and unreachable librarian who definitely doesn't want her there. But Mika recalls the crippling loneliness of her own childhood, raised by a parade of nannies in a house in York and learning to control her own magic by trial and error: she can't condemn these young girls to that. After just a few weeks at Nowhere House, Mika realises she is feeling so needed, so comfortable, that she is in danger of forgetting her lifelong promise to herself: don't get attached. Could she take a risk? What a charming story Mandanna gives the reader! The plot is clever, the characters are appealing and she subtly and seamlessly inserts the properties and rules governing the fantasy elements into the narrative. All the requirements of an entertaining and enjoyable fantasy novel: quirky characters, magic, romance and a dog, are comprehensively met. The added bonus is plenty of laugh-out-loud moments and a few to bring a lump to the throat. Sensitive readers should be aware that there is a bit of sex and some characters do use expletives, but Mandanna also gives them wise words and insightful observations: "Niceness is all about what we do when other people are looking. Kindness, on the other hand, runs deep. Kindness is what happens when no one's looking" and "when someone leaves, all you can do is leave a window open for them so that one day, if they choose, they can come back." More of this cast would be most welcome! Highly recommended. This unbiased review is from an uncorrected proof copy provided by NetGalley and Hodder & Stoughton.Cloggie Downunder

Super warm, cozy story about magic and human connection which hit home unexpectedly. Honestly will be a cozy autumnal reread.Kayla

Kind of a cool book, but lots of unusual ingredients I had never heard of. It does give you recipes for some of the syrups included in recipes, but not all. It's a fun book….just not something you can just pick up and randomly pick something to make.Garthmnc1

the book was delivered early and was an amazing read once i picked it up it was nearly impossible to put down before i finished.Julia

Amazing and well worth the money and effort purchasing this book … it is compelling and insightful and exactly what I wanted in a book.isamb-36

Absolutely beautiful. It was a great price, better than any price I have seen. I started using it right away. The inside it just a beautiful and colorful as the outside.onalin

Love the silky smooth feel of the pages and the illustrations are gorgeous. Very easy to write in with any type of pens so that's a bonus – I'm currently using gel pens. Just in love with this book!Cherie

Great book, especially if you're just finding your feet in Wicca/ Paganism and dont have the time to commit to a large Grimoire. The only down side is that the paper used used for the pages is exceptionally thin and will accidentally tear if proper care isnt used.Alexia

Over a thousand pages has so much info not only spells, collected from as far back as Egyptians, covers where spells come from Spell casting , ritual tools and techniques, Animal spells /banishing / success /cleansing/ Travellers /hexs and there antidotes/ fertility . Just some of the jam pack book . With an extra hundred page index so impressivejwilliamsoncowey212428

An enormous collection of spells, great for the beginner. I recommend researching the spell further before performing to make sure you're not appropriating. As a baseline it's super helpful.LS

The grammer used was so poor that I found myself rereading the same paragraph over several times trying to decipher what was being said. Various other statements together with the poorly writing leads me personally to think this is NOT a book I would want a novice/beginner Witch tobe reading.Glenn
