A review by zombiewaldo
Power of the Witch: The Earth, the Moon, and the Magical Path to Enlightenment by Tom Cowan, Laurie Cabot

3.0

As others have said, a product of it’s time. The dated narrative of “light and love” and negative connotations of many BIPOC traditions were prevalent throughout the book, as well as many instances of “rule of three” and “do no harm” which are almost exclusively Wiccan ideals. The book mentions that not all witches are Wiccan, and vice versa, but then continues to drive home Wiccan philosophies as the gold standard.

It’s a good book to pick up, but read it through a cautious lens. And continue reading books from authors of varying backgrounds. There is great information and Laurie Cabot shares some great personal anecdotes.
