By Rust of Nail & Prick of Thorn: The Theory & Practice of Effective Home Warding by Althaea Sebastiani

4.0

I picked this up because I saw it on social media, and it seemed interesting. It's a very practical, down-to-earth, and useful introduction that I would recommend. I don't do witchcraft or have a background in it; the last book I read that included info on warding was something from 15-20 years ago, and it was much longer and less tailored as a quick-start guide. A bit of the language around Gods made me a bit nervous, though. Some of the content/ideas are applicable to non-witchcraft contexts in which someone is petitioning household Gods or Gods who preside over boundaries/liminal spaces.
