As a baby witch I had a hard time focusing on the first parts of the book. It felt a bit too ‘pussy and womb’ directed for me. I don’t like quitting a book I’ve started tho so I kept on reading, albeit slower than anticipated. The last couple of chapters however were great. The information about the different holidays, the wheel of the year, and different types of witches read away easily. Also the herbs, oils & crystals and their meanings was really nice to read about. I loved the spells as examples and all of that and I am glad I kept reading. It’s just the pussy part that felt too much and over the top for me and sometimes even caught me a bit off guard.

a lot of interesting and illuminating insight! at times a bit cringy in the writing style and i don’t think i’ll ever buy it, but i’m glad i read it and it gave some very useful starting points for both thought and action and i’m having a lot of fun reading all the self-centred tras and gender people raging reviews claiming it’s transphobic to make a book that doesn’t talk about them cause guess what? woman = adult human female and they can talk all they want but that fact won’t ever change and it’s so so important for us women to keep reclaiming the space we deserve

Rating is due to the way this book is written, something about it is very cringeworthy. At points it made me uncomfortable. This book refers to only ‘female’ witches, and is for only females. Males are not mentioned at all. The writer seems to have a very feminist stand point.
For example, the writer frequently mentions ‘pussy power’ *insert vomiting here*. The writer seems fascinated and obsessed with the female genitals for some odd reason. I lost interest almost straight away due to the language and the way it was written.
You can find the same information in literally any other book about witchcraft or on the internet with a simple google search on the subject.

Overall, this was pretty good… a combination of feminine empowerment and encouragement to get back to the true feminine nature we have been repressing for centuries (#wakethewitches), and actual witchcraft with spells and crystals. As I have learned to do lately, I took in what worked for me and threw the rest away. She likes to remind you that she has written another book… a lot… which did get a bit old. But overall, I got a lot out of it and will be adding it to my permanent collection to reference again.

This book is awful and doesn’t have much information in it. The tone was …off putting at best and I’m sorry I even told my friends I was reading it. Move along from this one.

Reducing us to our reproductive systems then somehow trying to make it feminist???
First time I've ever thrown a book in the bin.
Women are so much more than our vaginas and our power comes from all parts of us (brains included).

Biological essentialism is bad. Vagina ≠ Woman. Do not recommend.

Lister has a lot of inspiring ideas and is a great writer/speaker, but some of this book was problematic for me. Most importantly I feel she has absolutely no business making health claims. Its really not appropriate or accurate for her to be speculating on women's reproductive health issues and the treatments patients seek for them; she seems to particularly have a huge issue with contraception and has a separate book about this subject so I'm unsure why it needed to be mentioned here. Any transgender individuals reading this book will surely feel uncomfortable as there is a TON of gendered language and repeated mention of female-specific anatomy. This didn't affect me negatively as a cisgender woman, but it honestly was a bit much/overdone.
