This is the first book I have read from this author and it was quite enjoyable.

in The Witch's Book of Mysteries the author hopes to deepen your Witch Power and further develop your relationships with familiars, guides, spirits, and gods. The Witch's Book of Mysteries invites you to embark on a pivotal journey designed to help break you free of the illusory cultural energies that hold you back from true magical vitality. It contains spells and rituals drawn from the author's own book of shadows.

A bible of sorts this is one to treasure.

For someone interested in magic, this was a very interesting read. A lot of Wicca magick doesn't always resonate with me but I enjoyed the way that Hunter dug into the deeper elements of witchcraft. This isn't just about the how, this book is also about the why and about investigating the what. The mysteries in the title mean that this book is at a more advanced level that I usually read at, digging into more complex work and tradition. While some of the reading revolves around Hunter's own work on the Sacred Fires, there is also plenty of valuable reading for those not interested in that specific path. Parts of Hunter's book do feel a little dry and so it may be a difficult read for some.

Beautiful book and cover. I have a big interest in the occult and this was right up my alley. I have a bunch of witfh / wiccan books at home so this one was another great read.

Sorry, it's been months since I've read it and I didn't write the reviews as I was finishing reading.

Advanced Immanent Mysteries

As someone who has studied the occult arts for decades, I found this book to be a fresh and fascinating look at more advanced topics in witchcraft that is thoroughly grounded in the author's spiritual knowledge and practice. It is certainly clear that the author has studied occultism, shamanism, and other metaphysical subjects in great depth and has put what he’s learned into practice. The first part of the book looks to increase your knowledge and skills of certain witchy practices. My favorite topics were quintessence and dreaming. There are actually some very interesting bits of knowledge and skill here, some of which I haven't seen in other places. The second part helps you understand how to use these skills that you've learned. What strikes me most strongly about this book is that it looks at more of the transcendent nature of witchcraft and its ability to touch the Divine rather than the immanent. So many books and traditions focus on simply the immanent, which is okay, but I always have felt like that approach missed at least half of what a spiritual belief system can offer. This book redresses that imbalance to an extent—not that the author has the responsibility to make up for the other authors out there! This book is certainly not for the beginner, as these are for the most part more advanced skills and practices. Highly recommended, though, for anyone who considers themselves to be at least a mid-level practitioner or beyond.

The Witch's Book of Mysteries is a must have full of information to deepen and develop ones magical power and connections with spirit guides and the gods. There are many meditations, spells, and rituals contained within. The author even includes information from his own book of shadows. Highly recommended!

I received a copy of this book for a fair and honest review. I read a lot of books of occult and witchcraft. I wanted to read one by another authors opinions. I wanted to use it with my journaling journey. That is why I like the meditations and exercises. I had try these for more them just a couple of days. It takes a little while for them to work and it is makes me feel good. I like that there were quotes from other in the community.

This book was certainly different to others I've read in this genre. Interesting and some may find it a great asset.

Devin Hunter writes just so well, I know I need the other two books.
He told us we needed them, and even so I went along and read this one first, but even so, even knowing just the basic, you can't help but be transfixed on what he's telling you, on understanding what he's saying, even in the most basic level.

A Book I think that is very much needed for those trying to learn a bit more, and a read that I'll for sure re-do once I understand a bit more and have read the two before!

This is a mid to advanced level [depending on what you have learned and from who] book on witchcraft, if you feel that you aren't there [HONESTLY] go back and learn then read this. Highly recommend with the add note maybe read his other books and Penczaks first. Devons group is an offshoot of the Reclaiming group and Feri magic. I like the idea of the activism as I have always been down for the betterment and understanding of society and creating a society encompassing societies to make a whole that is viable to coexist with the earth and it's creatures. I hope this group can continue to legitimately work on expanding that from the inside out in a progressive and just way. I like the way Devon presents his ideas, ethics and knowledge as they are nurturing, worthy and beneficial to growth of individuals and healing not just for the individual but outward into society and nature. The exercises are easy and work. I have made it a point of trying to get people involved in earth based religions [as I myself have been] for decades with the thought if they let go of their over sheathes of incorporated greed, self interest and stupidity that are the base of some organized religions and back into their particular native beliefs they would actually work to take care of the earth, animals, flora, fauna: all nature on the earth and honor and fight for it If people would learn to protect the sacred and the caregivers of the earth and become the same. We wouldn't be facing mass extinctions needless suffering, death and chaos that surrounds us if more people had legitimately picked up a real torch instead of blingy sparklers that die out. However, still you see the bases or reasons people have tried to manipulate spirituality an energy for their own negative ends be it greed, ego or to cover for supposed friends of individuals in their group thus further warping the threads woven for a harmony within self and surroundings. Thus is this something touched on depth in this incredible mid level witch book. Devon has been able to hit on [like an iron mallet] and expand a lot of needed base philosophies, structure, beliefs meditations, actions and rituals as well as added more insight and discoveries in this publication that is meant to be a keeper and shared with others. It's something I will end up buying after I get the one before it and actually make it a point of continuing to go through the exercises and rituals in it. Which brings me to the first earth shattering revelation in it [seriously] I have bought and read metaphysical books from very early age and been around spirituality and magic all my life but even though plowing through hundreds to a thousand books have rarely [or at least not half the time] actually digested and practised the rituals inside of them to fully get into what the author was presenting [which in many cases probably was a good thing]. Always it is yeah, I know what he/she/they are saying and I will get back to this [& never do]. You can look at the dumpster fires around you to see how spirituality has been twisted for self or profit in grasping ways. Once again, recommend!

The Witch’s Book of Mysteries is one of the best books I’ve read on the craft, This is the conclusion of the author's "Witch Power" trilogy. If you are looking to expand your knowledge or are new this is the book for you.
No matter what your path this is the book to take your education to the next level. If your a inherited Witch or have a new personal practice and are open to learning I highly recommend this book as part of your ongoing education.

There are exercises which require you to pay attention , lessons on the universe and its relation to magic. This will help you expand on your Grimoire . The language is presented in a approachable way and is understandable. If you want to take your practice to the next level I highly recommend this book.

Thank you to Net Galley and to the publisher for the opportunity. My opinion is my own. You will want to immediately order this book in non digital form in order to make notes and utilize all the reference materials.

Very interesting book with lots of food for thought. The author’s perspective gives me cause to reflect. Thank you for this sharing this interesting information with the world.

4.5
Incredibly useful and filled with both theory and practice. I'm not giving it 5 stars because the last 4-5 chapters were hard to follow, but they were appealing nontheless. Will re read in the future for sure!

I'm in two minds about this book.
On one side I think there're interesting ideas and there's food for thought on the other side I had some problems with the style of writing.
I assume my doubts are due to fact that this is an ARC and the final book will be easier to read.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine.

I had a lot of trouble connecting with this book. It felt like I was reading a self-help manual rather than an advanced witchcraft guide.
The Witches Book of Mysteries by Devin Hunter sought to cover a lot of ground. Hunter covers a plethora of subjects in a continuation to the prior two books he has authored. Hunter relates ways to stay linked to “the Witches Dream” (your witch powers) during daily mundane life so they can always be accessed.
The book began with a discussion of magickal goals, practice and journaling – each chapter concluded with questions for the reader to answer in their journal. The material includes a ritual to open the third eye, a year and a day dedication to the god and goddess, and a visionary journey to the Witches Sabbat. A section on lucid dreaming discusses developing the skill, interpreting symbols from your dreams and ways of testing whether you are dreaming or awake.
I received an ARC of this book in exchange for a fair and honest review.

Devin Hunter leads us down an ancient path. I found him talking about things that have come to me in meditation, things I've never read about in other books on witchcraft. He is truly tuned in and is a fine teacher for those looking to continue on this path, whether they are at the beginning, middle, or end.

This was just okay for me. It had good parts but it did not wow me. I overall was not impressed with the information provided in this pagan/witchcraft book.

This is The First book I read in non-fiction genre in a VERY long Time... and I'm totally disappointed in that book.
I tried reading it, but after a few lines, I was losing my interest in it.
I give 2 stars for the effort that was committed by the author

A breath of fresh air for those of us who have had enough of the witchcraft 101 books that seem to have flooded the market in the last few years, this book is a deeper look at, and exploration of the craft. As someone who has been interested in the topic since the 90s, I found this book to be a beautifully challenging and though provoking presentation to some things I hadnt really considered before, Highly recommeded to all those interested in stepping up their witchcraft game.

I felt like this book was more for an advanced practice. I lost interest in it due to the fact that I don't think I'm to the level of this book.

The book itself isn't poorly written or anything. I just think it has a specific following and I didn't quite fit into it. My current work place does not own any of the author's other work so I"m not sure our patrons would be the correct audience for it.

I do feel however that this book would be great for the author's followers or those who are a more advanced practitioner.

I'm giving this book 4 stars because I think overall that's what it deserves. It has great information for it's proper audience. I do think that they buyer should be aware of the book's level before purchasing it though.

I really loved this book. It explains so many things. For witches of all ages and experiences. From the hereditary witches who have practiced for many years to the new witches just learning.. It has so many facts and how to find your own way and beliefs. The author doesn't say that you have to follow everything that he believes but gives guidelines so you can make your own choices. The author tells a story is of what happened to him in a church. I too, had something happen to me in a church. There was an old minister whom I had never met who walked up to me and told me that I the most beautiful aura he had ever seen, bright red and so beautiful that it sparkled. Surprising because I had never heard the word. Had to go home and look it up. So strange things do happen at church. I am a witch whose gifts have been passed down for generations, but I will be using this book as well. You can never have too much info. This book definitely belongs on every witches bookshelf. It has so much info that you will want to re-read it and use it for a resource. I received this book from Net Galley and Llewellyn Publishing. I voluntarily read this book.
