Ambrosia Hawthorn shows readers the opportunities that magic creates with this enjoyable book that is written simply like an honest friend would explain it. The spells range from simple to mildly complex yet explain the purpose in a detailed way.

This is a excellent book for new witches and those more experienced. The author has a beautifully crafted layout in this book full of hundreds of spells and information. I love that the different themes of spells are well represented and the writing is pleasing to read and nicely presented to all levels of witches. I recommend this book . This is the perfect spell book to add to your collections. I look forward to trying the spells for protection and courage. The author has included spells on the moon, the seasons and equinoxes, divination , symbols, colors, and what should be in a basic witch's pantry. This is the ideal book for spell casting for both green and house witches.
Thank you for the ARC. My review opinion is my own. I found nothing but positive information here and appreciate the detail the author created. The spells are sensible and easy to follow.

Great beginners guide to modern witchcraft! Covers all the basics without diving so deep as to lose newcomers.

This spell book is absolutely gorgeous! I love how simple the spells are. A lot of new witch spell books I've read come off as condescending and elitist, so this was a breath of fresh air.

It can be a little repetitive at times and there were a few inconsistencies as far as history goes, but nothing that made me not want it in my personal collection as I build my own practice.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read and review this one! I thoroughly enjoyed it.

This book really made me understand why people believe in the power of casting spells and witchcraft. The author lays out the facts in such a straightforward way that is easy to understand so the reader really walks away knowing a lot about witchcraft. I cannot say that I am completely invested in this, but I have always found this topic to be interesting and enjoyed learning more about it.

Thank you NetGalley for my copy of this book in exchange for an honest review!

I thought this book was cute. It was a quick read and it was pretty informative. I really enjoyed and will be trying some of these spells.
The only thing that really rubbed me the wrong way was how the beginning was pretty repetitive, other than that I really liked it.
The spells seem easy enough and this author seems well informed on this topic. If you’re interested in spells I’d definitely give this a go. It was a quick read. Most of the book is just spells.

I have to go shopping now because this book made me want to try these positive spells. Having lives in many places, most cultures embrace cleansing and methods used to bring prosperity. The needed ingredients seem like they would be found without much effort. . I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

I loved this book! So pretty and chock full of simple spells for the new witch. It was organized well and wasn't as intimidating as other witchcraft books I've read. Great introduction to the craft.

This book was a bit of a mixed bag. Some of the spells and content were great, but much was a bit underwhelming. With the disclaimer that this was geared towards a practice style that just isn’t my personal type of magick, this book would be a good starter for New Age practitioners.

The background presented was cursory, which may be fitting for a beginner book. That said, given the depth of spells then shown, more background might have been useful. As a very basic introduction, it does the job, though readers may be better served by reading the references listed then coming back to this material.

The spells themselves were pretty good. Each section has many spells that do the same thing, but I liked how the reader had options to find the rituals that best suited their needs and style. The spells did require, as a general rule, items and supplies that are easily obtained making the book accessible for anyone just starting out. The spells trended towards meditative/”New Age” ritual which just happens to not be my style (not a bad thing, if this is your style, this will be a great resource).

Overall, I would say the book is “OK.” I would recommend that new Witches use this as a companion piece with other resources to first feel out what type of magick most feels natural. If meditative ritual is your thing, this would be a handy reference.

Nice starter book for newbies. Not too difficult to comprehend, but not so easy that someone who has some knowledge is bored.
