A great first book for witches.

The Door to Witchcraft is a great learning tool for harnessing your psychic abilities, as well as, teaching you how to write spells. Highly recommend it as it also includes a history of witches which was very interesting to read.

Really enjoyed reading this book and am planning on buying the hardcover.

As a Green Witch and one new to spell casting I was thrilled to receive this book for review. Thank you to the publisher and to Net Galley for the opportunity to review. My opinion is my own,
I loved this book. I quickly saw that I must buy the hardback of this book for creating my spells. This is a well written concise easy to follow guide to the history. Its a great first guide for brand new witches.,
I look forward to reading more of what the author writes. This book would make a great gift for anyone with a new interest of witchcraft, the various types of witches, creation of spells and practice of. Anyone can follow along with these spells and successfully build upon their own basic knowledge. A excellent guide that I highly recommend.
Very well done to the author

Sweet, but basic guide for wannabe witches. It would be an excellent starter for those who are completely fresh to the subject, but I wish it had been a little more in depth about some of the traditions, as one or two passages turned into "some witches do it this way, others do it this way, you can do it how you want", which, while welcoming and lovely, is not actually very helpful for someone looking for information. However, the included spells and rituals seem like a good mix, and the book is very friendly and easy to read. Definitely one I'd recommend as a starter guide!

I'm pretty much a baby witch, and while I've read other books and dabbled around I feel like this was truly a great entry way into the witchy world.

Informative with history and information, it pretty much guides you through the basics while also being incredibly open minded about the 'rules' or I guess lack there of. It really believes in being true to yourself and trusting what feels right for you, not anybody else, which I loved.

Highly recommend. I only have the ebook but can't wait to get the hard copy.

A clear, concise guide to the basics of witchcraft. As someone who isn’t a witch but loves studying witchy things, I was super excited to learn about how modern witches identify and practice. Tonya Brown does a nice job of boiling complex concepts and ideas down to their core while also providing resources for the reader to explore beyond the basics she provides.

Great book, one I would recommend for anyone. This book is mostly for beginners, but there is so information that many things advanced witches can use. It helps to understand the tradition of Witchcraft that is seldom covered, but should be taught to help with witches training. Spells are only a part of Witchcraft, but they are important and covered as well. This hook is well written and easy to understand. Should be on every shelf to refer to. I received this book from Net Galley and the publisher. I voluntarily read this book.

Thanks to the publisher for an ARC to read and give my honest opinion.

This is a wonderful guide to Witchcraft, and the author did a great job of fully explaining the history, traditions, and even threw in spells in the second half of the book for those who are curious.

What did I like? The author did a great job of really setting you straight when it comes to what Witchcraft really is and if it's for you. She negated a lot of the myth and just really put the facts out there versus the negative views of Witchcraft when it comes to Christianity. The history was full references if you cant take her word for it, and this book contained a lot of information on what type of witch you might be. Anyone with some curiosity could pick up this book and decide for themselves. There's a wealth of knowledge between these pages about pretty much everything witchy you could name or be curious about. I was highly interested.

Would I buy this book? I'd skip buying a kindle copy and just buy a paper copy. This was so interesting that I doubt that anyone could really get the full gist of it in one reading. I would definitely say that I want a paper copy just to dog ear as I continually go through it. The spells in the last part of the book are a particular interest but some of the ingredients seem like they would be hard to get. I don't live near New Orleans so I'm guessing my nearest opothecary will be an online store.

Thoughts for the author? Excellent job! This book was such a fountain of information that I'm sure any curious person or beginner witch would love to have. Really enjoyed it.

I love this guide for witchcraft. Finally, a book that explains everything how it should be explain. Very good for beginners. I like that part about witch history. Spells are easy with step by step instructions.

Thank you to NetGalley and publisher for a free copy in exchange for an honest review.
