Craft: How to Be a Modern Witch by Gabriela Herstik
3.0
A wonderful beginners guide for baby witches!
Gabriela goes over all the basics you’ll need to know in order to start your practice and provides a lot of references, charts, and beginner rituals.
There was a lack of explanation as to why things are the correspondence, but I don’t believe it was meant to be a deep dive guide; there was a lot of encouragement to smudge as well and with white sage. The book is written by someone who (I’m sure) is non-indigenous, smudging or using white sage is a closed practice and I feel should have been mentioned in the book, and not encouraged as much as it was.
I’d recommend if you’re thinking about starting the craft or are just curious.
