Why read it?
1 author picked The Woman Magician as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I don’t think I knew, at least consciously, that magic and witchcraft needed to be revisited from a woman’s perspective until I read this book. It was so influential on my thinking!

I love that she is scholarly but explains everything simply and straightforwardly. I love that she cares about the impact of magic and witchcraft on us as human beings.
From Deborah's list on modern witchcraft books.
