Natural Magick by Lindsay Squire
3.0
I’m not an expert witch, but I’m no beginner either. That being said, I do think this book is great for the beginner-intermediate level!
I expected this book to be more about using herbs in your magic — but there was a wealth of information, both basic and more advanced that surprised me. I was happy to learn more about the Sabbats and using moon phases in my craft, and although some of the more basic information provided was repetitive to me I’m sure it would prove very helpful to a beginning witch.
Although I don’t agree with all of the author’s thoughts on spellwork (particularly the idea that self-doubt will harm your spells, which I feel is a bit impractical to impose on someone who is in need of help,) Squire for the most part was a lot more conscious than many white authors when it comes to being aware that not all practices are meant for just any practitioner to dip their toes in.
If you’re looking for spells or rituals, there aren’t many in this book. If you’re looking for information to then transform into spells or rituals of your own — I’d say you’re in the right place! I’m glad I read this book, and I did learn a few things about moon magic and scrying. Well worth it!
