Secrets of the Witch: An Initiation Into Our History and Our Wisdom by Julie Légère, Elsa Whyte
4.0
(I recieved an ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review)
I think this is truly the perfect place to start if one wants to indulge oneself in studying both witchcraft and its history. It is a quick summary of the witches as historical truth, from ancient times to present - how they were differently perceived at different points in time and how they actually influenced society.
In the end of the book, one can also find explanations of some symbols, plants and crystals, as well as the differences between pendulums, amulets and talismans and how to make your own.
I feel like it includes all the basics, explained in a very easy-to-understand style and accompanied by the most beautiful art style I've ever seen!
The only reasons as to why I'm not giving it 5 stars is the grammatical errors (which I hope to see corrected in the final copy of the book) and the fact that I already knew most of the facts in here (surprising, since I haven't really done in-depth research on the subject beforehand).
It is a really good place to start for a beginner, as well as a magnificent piece of art to have on display!
