Magick for all Seasons. A grimoire for the Wheel of the Year by Marla Brooks
I love the cover of this book. It holds several elements that are key to wiccan life. The crow caught my eye right away, but the more I looked the more detail I found in the cover. The stars, the rustic looking border, the different flowers that are used in practice. It just flows together really well. The next thing I noticed was the dedication. Having a real person have their wisdom be brought into this text is amazing. The link between the past and present and how wisdom and guidance from the past has shaped the present practice for the author gives me a more real feel. Sections in…

I have always been in love with stones, crystals and gems. Every chance I get even now I hunt for interesting stones or do gem mining. My daughter has inherited this love, so this book is something that both interests me, but also supports a part of my personal practices.

Review: Magic from the Hilltops & Hollers by Leah Middleton
This book spoke to me almost immediately. My family is from Southern Ohio and West Virginia. I love folk lore, superstitions and healing from nature. When reading the foreword the reader could start to feel the love that multiple writers have for this subject and how multiple people incorporate the idea both abstract and actual into their practices. From the start of the book the imagery the writer uses starts to paint an exquisite picture that transports the reader to the location described. It also helps orient the reader to the area and can give way to locating the actual area on google map images if desired. The writer settles…
