nickfrantisek's review against another edition
5.0
I've taken one of Veronica Varlow's classes before and this book definitely feels like a great extension of that. It's equal parts memoir and magick, so if you're looking for a simple spellbook that tells you what to do on what phase of the moon, this is not it. If you're looking for the author's voice and story along with magick and spellwork, this might be the perfect book for you! I devoured this whole book in one sitting and gained a lot from doing so - it was like sitting and chatting with a good friend about life and magick. It definitely won't be to everyone's tastes, but I very much enjoyed it, as it reminded me of some of my childhood experiences with my own grandma. Highly suggest this for readers looking for a magickal memoir laced with spells and ideas for your own magickal practice!
