The Door to Witchcraft: A New Witch's Guide to History, Traditions, and Modern-Day Spells by Tonya A. Brown
5.0
Thanks to the publisher for an ARC to read and give my honest opinion.
This is a wonderful guide to Witchcraft, and the author did a great job of fully explaining the history, traditions, and even threw in spells in the second half of the book for those who are curious.
What did I like? The author did a great job of really setting you straight when it comes to what Witchcraft really is and if it's for you. She negated a lot of the myth and just really put the facts out there versus the negative views of Witchcraft when it comes to Christianity. The history was full references if you cant take her word for it, and this book contained a lot of information on what type of witch you might be. Anyone with some curiosity could pick up this book and decide for themselves. There's a wealth of knowledge between these pages about pretty much everything witchy you could name or be curious about. I was highly interested.
Would I buy this book? I'd skip buying a kindle copy and just buy a paper copy. This was so interesting that I doubt that anyone could really get the full gist of it in one reading. I would definitely say that I want a paper copy just to dog ear as I continually go through it. The spells in the last part of the book are a particular interest but some of the ingredients seem like they would be hard to get. I don't live near New Orleans so I'm guessing my nearest opothecary will be an online store.
Thoughts for the author? Excellent job! This book was such a fountain of information that I'm sure any curious person or beginner witch would love to have. Really enjoyed it.
