Reclaim your inner witch with the magical rituals, divination tools, spells and ancient wisdom in this revolutionary book.
A witch is a woman in her power. She's wise, a healer, someone who is aligned with the cycles of Mother Nature and the phases of the Moon. Yet for so long, the word 'witch' has had negative connotations - being used as an insult, a slur and to perpetuate fear. In this book, third generation hereditary witch Lisa Lister explains the history behind witchcraft, why in past centuries the word 'witch' has led women to be tortured, drowned and burned at the stake, and why the witch is now waking once again in women across the world today. This book will help women to remember, reconnect and reclaim the word 'witch' and its power. It explores the many different versions of witchcraft and their core principles and practices, and shares ancient wisdom made relevant for waking witches, including how to: · Align your energy with the wheel of the year, the sabbats and the cycles of the Moon · Connect with and trust your intuition · Use divination tools such as oracle cards, scrying and rune reading · Cast circles, create altars and set sacred space · Work with the elements of nature and use herbs and crystals · Discover and work with five different aspects of the witch: the Force of Nature, the Creatrix, the Healer, the Oracle and the Sorceress · Rediscover your powers and manifest your reality with spell casting Lisa also shares her own journey to reclaiming the word 'witch', along with personal, hands-on rituals and spells from her family lineage of gypsy witch mag… (meer)
I adored this book! I found it at the right time; when I had just begun getting serious about committing to witchcraft. I was already taking an in-person class to learn about ritual, spell casting, and the history of witches, so this book was a perfect accompanying primer.
I loved the focus on feminine power and empowerment, on reclaiming and remembering. This is very much a book written for and about cis-gendered women. It doesn't address male witches or transgender witches. It has a particular focus, and women embarking on this journey will resonate with it deeply.
Lisa Lister shares bold, unapologetic teachings about the roots and true nature of feminine strength. And I am unapologetically on board with ALL of it. ( )
Even though the author mentions a lot that this book is mainly how she practices and what her craft means to her and that it's meant to inspire not instruct, I found this book extremely odd and weird to read, at times even dangerous.
If you're a male witch, don't read it. If you're trans, don't read it. If you're even slightly unsure of your gender identity, don't read it.
I found it very exclusionist and pretentious and ignorant, and a lot of it made me cringe involuntarily because it felt like I was in the first row of one of those culty self-improvement, mlm sceme presentations. I'm not a person that likes to write negative reviews, so that's how stronly I feel about all of this. ( )
I absolutely loved the first two chapters of this book. I felt empowered and passionate about reconnecting with my witch side. Unfortunately, the rhetoric used in the beginning is just reiterated throughout the rest of the book. For a text that is described as including “the history behind witchcraft,” I expected a lot more unbiased historical research. I will admit that there are some great parts of this book—I especially appreciated the spells, rituals, and explanations of the holidays—but overall, I think Lister made her point by chapter two and the rest was redundant.

If every woman read this book, we would change the world...for the better. I highly recommend this book to all women, and Witches in particular, because it speaks to us in so many levels as it encourages us to break down the prisons of the patriarchy. I love Lisa Lister’s unapologetic voice, her audacity, her refusal to be timid, to think inside the box, to color within the lines, and to fit within the mold, all designed for those of us with ovaries by those without them.
Wake up sisters, find your voices, and join the movement to take down the patriarchy as we take back our autonomy. ( )
