But you can find your own way of doing it, dollface. Your craft, your rules – or lack thereof.
The rebel witch process is about giving yourself permission to take seemingly sacred, non-negotiable things off the table completely if the fancy takes you!
.
This book is a well rounded way in to witchcraft. It has the A to Z to get you started on your way. From introductions in to the witchy calendar to helping you solve problems.
I like that every chapter ends in an interactive way. It really helps you get engaged with the craft. And lets you find your own way. I highly recommend this book if you are thinking about or just started your journey.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Love it! Like one of her housework ramble videos into one book. Love the write it out and try it sections - give the reader an opportunity to explore their own thoughts on the topic.

Rebel Witch reminds witches of the wondrous opportunity to jump into experimentation and invent something wild and individual, a practice shaped by their individual personality and life journey, rather than allowing themselves to be spoon-fed. It challenges witches to design a nurturing practice that is truly theirs.

A lot of people have heard of the author - Kelly-Ann Maddox before the release of this book. I had not, I was glad to have had this opportunity before researching more via the author's youtube channel. The key message throughout all of this and from the author is that everything is personal to you and there is no right way or wrong way per se. This book is full of inspiration and interesting possibilities.

The book cover is eyecatching and appealing and draws attention to the reader.

Book Review for Rebel Witch by Kelly-Ann Maddox
Full review for this title can be found at: @fyebooks on Instagram!

Very readable and has a lot of good information for anyone seeking on this path. The cover is pretty and I think this is one of the better books on the craft that I have read.

Rebel Witch had lots of useful information for a variety of witchcraft, and because witchcraft is so personalized (as discussed in this book), a lot of the information was either interesting and useful to me personally, or it didn't pertain to me and I thus skimmed it.

I do think that if you are just starting out then this would be a great place to start!

I loved this book and its ideas. From deciding whether you want to tell others about your religious adventures to daily practice in witch studies , Many things are covered in a fun and clear way. Each lesson or concept is discussed first. You are encouraged to write about what you think of the idea or exercise. The next step is actually an activity to implement it in your life. Read, journal, do it. I read each lesson with a smile because I recognised many of my own thoughts being expressed. Doing things my own way is something I never thought about before .What works for others may not work for me spiritually I understand.The problem was I didnt know anyone forging ahead with new concepts or ways. While reading this book I found I was having ideas and thoughts about doing things differently and then the journaling started. Just having an idea or thought is nice but actually doing it is another thing. Thats where the importance of writing about your experience comes in. This book is a well thought out and easily read account of making witchcraft part of your life in a meaningful way that encourages positive interactions with others and the divine. Very well worth reading and thinking about.

I dabbled a bit with Wicca as a teen in the 90s, but came to this book more or less a beginner, curious and open-minded. Lots of the reasons for practicing witchcraft mentioned here appealed to me: to become more connected to nature, to become more empowered and confident, to bring more of what you desire into your life. It gave me much more insight into the practice, and there’s lots of encouragement and exercises for reflection and self-discovery as well as discussion on things like setting up altars and sacred spaces, blessings, brooms etc. It’s all written in a chatty and engaging style. However, it wasn’t really for me. I can see the merit of this book, especially for people who have been practising for a while and are ready to design their own spells and do their own thing, but as a beginner, I needed a little more detail. I also felt my resistance activated sometimes, when Kelly-Ann Maddox writes things like, “witches often find they can chat with ghosts.” Maybe I’m not quite ready for this one!

I follow Kelly-Ann Maddox on YouTube and have always enjoyed her unique approach to witchcraft and magick. In a world with so much gatekeeping, it’s refreshing to have someone encourage you to use your imagination and make your own rules. “Rebel Witch” is a very natural extension of what Kelly-Ann does on her channel and is a really great addition to any witch’s library.

One of the beautiful things about “Rebel Witch” is that it doesn’t give super specific directions for spells and rituals. This book is more about inspiration and giving permission to witches who don’t fit the mold and want to know that they can practice their own way. Kelly-Ann points out so many interesting possibilities with lists of suggestions and ideas – things I had never even considered. More than anything, she reassures the reader that it’s absolutely okay for them to do things their own way.

I would recommend this book to anyone who practices witchcraft, from beginners to experienced witches. It is such a great read to help reinvigorate your practice and boost your confidence about bringing creativity into your craft.

* I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily. Thank you to NetGalley and Watkins Publishing.

I received this book from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Let's get one thing clear: I'm ready to admit that I'm a fan of Kelly-Ann Maddox. I watch her videos on YouTube and I'm a patron of hers on Patreon. So when I saw that this book was available for request on NetGalley, I jumped with joy, clicked to request, and then spent a few days waiting. Waiting, waiting, waiting. And then... then I got the email saying my request was approved. I screamed. I legitimately screamed. And then I shed a few tears of joy.

Aaaaaaaand then I rushed through this, I'll admit. I was in a rush because I loved reading this so much that I wanted to finish it fast so I could restart it. Mark my words, I will reread this piece of art in a few days, going through everything, savoring each word, doing every exercise (I did none of the writing stuff now, I thought about how I would answer the questions). Oh. Yes. The exercises! This isn't just a "read from page 1 to page whatever and you're done" kind of book, but this has two kinds of exercises: writing assignments and Try It! exercises. The first are questions and you write answers to them. The latter are, well, things to spice up your craft, to get you out of your comfort zone (in a comfortable way, of course).

Kelly-Ann has a very adorable writing style. She uses petnames (so if you pick up this book, be prepared to called "chickpea" and "dollface" among others!) and some slang (which, I admit, made the book in some parts a bit difficult for me as a non-native English speaker... nothing a quick Google search couldn't save, however).

Socially conscious and responsible, chock full of important facts and anecdotes. Five stars. Definitely recommend!
