The Witch's Book of Spells

Book Review: The Witch's Book of Spells by Lindsay Squire & Viki Lester

Rating: 4 Stars

I recently had the pleasure of reviewing “The Witch's Book of Spells: Simple Spells for Everyday Magick” by Lindsay Squire, beautifully illustrated by Viki Lester, and it was quite the enchanting experience! As someone who's dabbled in witchcraft but never fully committed, this book felt like a welcoming embrace from the witching world.

This book serves as a unique guide that invites you to tap into your inner witch with a delightful collection of spells and rituals. Drawing from Squire's personal grimoire, it's organized in a way that makes it super easy to navigate. Whether you're interested in the different moon phases, zodiac signs, or seasonal energies, there's a spell for every aspect of life. From protection and hex breaking to manifestations of love and abundance, the breadth of topics covered is impressive. The spells vary in complexity too—from quick five-minute rituals to more detailed practices—making it perfect for witches at any stage of their journey.

One of the things I absolutely love about this book is that it serves as a helpful intro guide for beginners. For someone just starting out, the wealth of information and detailed instructions is invaluable. Squire has compiled a fantastic collection of spells that are not only easy to follow but also require ingredients that are often simple to find. I really appreciate how accessible this makes practicing witchcraft; it's less daunting and much more inviting!

The illustrations by Viki Lester add an extra layer of charm. They are colorful and eye-catching, perfectly complementing the text and enhancing the overall experience. Each page feels like a little piece of magic itself, guiding you through the spells with visual inspiration.

Overall, I'd give The Witch's Book of Spells a solid four stars. If you're looking to explore the world of witchcraft or deepen your existing practice with straightforward spells, this book is definitely worth picking up. It's like having a friendly mentor by your side as you embark on your magical journey!
