\u201cMama, What\u2019s a Witch? Empowers potential witches with the best kinds of Magick: love and belief in oneself.\u201d \u2013 <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/em>Amazon.com<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I am absolutely thrilled to write this book review. There is so much to love about this book as a mother and a witch. My three children who are elementary and middle school aged love this book as much as I do. It immediately became a family favorite.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Our story begins with a child asking \u201cMama, what\u2019s a witch?\u201d Mama then begins to explain how a witch views the world in relationship to the Earth, nature, stars, planets and sun. Illustrations showing the cycles of night and day are accompanied by a variety of animals and women.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cA witch believes and knows anything is possible.
\nThat magick is love and that\u2019s the most powerful.\u201d <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/em>\u2014 Nico B. Paradis<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The story continues with the child asking \u201cMama, can I be a witch?\u201d Mama then explains the type of person that is a witch. This is done by describing a relationship with the natural world around you and how a witch may view that.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cMy wish for you is in your self most of all you always believe.\u201d<\/em> \u2014 Nico B. Paradis<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The illustrations in this book are gorgeously detailed, colorful and expressive A simple but poignant description of what a witch is that reached our hearts. The illustrated women are of all different shapes and colors. A variety of animals and scenery are depicted within the pages. There is something to touch the hearts of everyone who reads this book among the pages.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Blessed Be,
