Why read it?
2 authors picked Waking the Witch as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
One of my favorite things in the world is inspiration, and this book has loads of it. It contains an insightful retrospective of witchcraft, including how it showed up in popular culture. What I love most about this book is that it sets the stage for new witches and invites them to the party.
From Astrea's list on general witchcraft for beginner from an eclectic witch.
This book is part memoir, part history of the Witch. Peppered with pop culture and artistic references, it is a portal to a number of fantastic rabbit holes. For this reason, I needed to keep an open notebook beside me as I read to jot down this artist, that film, this musician. I finished feeling like I had taken an immersive art class, and my understanding of the iconic Witch was so much richer for it.
From Tricia's list on witchy books that aren’t YA for YA readers.
