A well illustrated and informational way to live more in nature and focus energies there. Year long and seasonal as well as full of ritual this book is wonderful.

Lots of Information

First of all, I have to compliment the author on such a nicely designed layout, including type of fonts used, colors, and design appeal. I really enjoy reading a book, especially when it is appealing and pleasing to my eyes.

The author provides background information on herself and the reason behind why she wrote this book, which is very helpful, if readers are interested in her craft association. She does state that this is not a book of spells, but as I would say "the meat or backbone" of what we intend to learn in order to create a strong foundation for our own particular craft.

Lidia Pradas states that we basically work with and she states that the division of dualities creates a human reality, which is composed of three energies:
1. Telluric Energy, known as Yin
2. Celestial Energy, known as Yang), and
3. Energy, which is the energy we commonly associate as that energy which flows through our body, which we term our “inner energy.”
The author explains each of the above listed energies in further detail in this book.

As with any Wiccan, the author discusses the Wiccan Rede and the Three-Fold Law, stating that both emanate from the concept of not using witchcraft to hurt others.

I find that this is a very good book for beginners, because it does outline a vast amount of knowledge on the background and basic foundation, principles, and understanding the hows, whats, whens, and whys of witchcraft. Highly recommend.

I’ve always been interested and drawn to witchcraft. But I can’t believe I decided to read a book that is teaching me how to cast spells and be a good and thoughtful witch. But to be more precise, it is more about being in peace with yourself and the universe; it’s a self-help and self-awareness manual. However, unfortunately for me, it’s not a book I die to dive in.
Also, I have something to say to the publisher, why two columns in each page? This is a book, not a magazine or newspaper. It made it more difficult to read the book on my phone and I’m always using a phone with a bog screen. Please reconsider.

this book was super cool to get an ARC copy of!! I immediately fell in love with the author because I also have my bachelor's in environmental science, so my views are extremely similar to hers. This book is very informative and it helps guide you in the best witchy way! I would highly recommend this book to beginner witches.
