This is one of those "witchy" books that go beyond what you would normally read now. I loved how this book was informative and fun to read; I feel like I really took some things from this book. This is one that I will recommend and buy a physical copy of to keep! I love how it focuses on one specific time/holiday and really gives you a lot of information about that versus being vague or brief. I can't wait to see more from this collection!!

I really enjoyed reading about all of the traditions and the origins of these traditions. I learned a lot about the culture and beliefs behind Day of the Dead celebrations, and found it altogether fascinating.

I enjoyed reading this book. It was an interesting insight into the true practices and meanings of the day of the dead. I actually learnt a lot. Thank you to the author.

This was a heartwarming, beautiful little booklet about the Day of the Dead. I loved how this is an own voices book and that the author starts with the topic of cultural appropriation vs. cultural appreciation and how if you're not Mexican, you can still celebrate, but to question your own intentions first.
The book is divided into chapters, starting with the cultural background and other countries celebrations and then moving into how to celebrate, set up a little altar, make decorations and bake as well as other activities to do.
I've always been for talking about death and not pushing it away.

Thank you Llewellyn and Netgalley for providing me with a copy in exchange for an honest review.

I can highly recommend this to anybody who would like to celebrate loved ones that passed away in a more death positive way.
