The Path of the Witch was a delight to read! I appreciated the overview of general witchy themes, and then the focus on various popular witchy paths in their own chapters. What I like is that it provides several different starting points and gives you a glimpse into what it might be like along each possible path (for example: a Kitchen Witch or a Sea Witch or a Wiccan). If you're interested in herbalism but aren't sure how to get started or where you can go with it, the Green Witch path provides a description, definitions, some basic reference tables, a few recipes, and a meditation. If you're curious about astrology, the Celestial Witch section explains the basics of astrology, celestial bodies and their cycles in connection with the Earth, and more! Every single Path in this book has a similar collection of details that really make it accessible without feeling overwhelming. You get a nice foundation with enough information to feel comfortable trying things out before diving more deeply into books or resources focused on your chosen path(s). Each section also has a beautiful illustration at the beginning, as well as illustrations throughout. This is a fantastic resource for anyone who is interested in beginning their journey into witchcraft but might not know where to start.

An excellent book for beginners and an interesting read if you are alreday in the Path.
It's well explained and I loved it.
Highly recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher for this ARC, all opinions are mine

I have recently turned to spirituality and witchcraft as a way to manage my turbulent mental health but felt very lost as where to start. This book broke down different paths of witchcraft and helped me figure out which path I personally align with. It was also great to learn about some paths of witchcraft that I hadn’t previously encountered such as Faery Witches or Sea Witches. The illustrations were also beautiful- I’d definitely recommend picking up this book

**Thank you so much to NetGalley, the publisher, and of course the author for the ARC. I have provided my honest opinion and thoughts on the galley.**


I have always considered myself a spiritual person and have in the past couple years started looking for ways to zero in on the path that I felt would be right for me. This book could not have been more perfect! It's so easy to read, understand, and super informative. I love the illustrations throughout the book. I was able to read each description of some of the most common types of craft and was left feel very confident in the path I have chosen to follow. It just helped reaffirm that I was headed in the right direction. I would recommend this to anyone interested in The Craft but especially for beginners looking for clarification. The author doesn't just give a description of each practice but also some very helpful tips. This one is getting purchased and added to my bookshelf as a great reference point!.

So many books on the craft tend to go too far down a path and leave you wondering what you just read. However this one is so well written and designed that you can read sections at different times and in different orders and still follow the content. DEFINITELY a great book for anyone new to the craft or wondering which path is right for them.

For new witches, this would be a great book to finding out which type of witch you are. While I knew the basics of each type, I still learned something new while reading though. I don't know if this is something you'd necessarily reference back to unless you wanted to explore other styles of witchcraft. It almost felt "Buzzfeed Quiz" like where I was reading through and matching my skills and preferences to each one trying to find the best fit.

Thanks to #NetGalley and the publishers for the ARC of #ThePathoftheWitch

A beautifully illustrated book explaining the different paths of witchcraft. It's laid out in a way that's easy to reference back to and I feel this would be a great starting point for both beginners.and those already familiar with the practices.

Thank you to NetGalley and Llewelyn for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

The premise of The Path of the Witch is interesting; read about these typical paths and try a few rituals to see what kind of witch you are.

It’s a great idea and even successful, sorta. The recipes are fun! The crafts are cool! (A driftwood wand? So fabulous!) The trouble is that there’s no real way to pick your spiritual path from a book of this length. Yes, I fully understand that it’s meant to guide you on your way and introduce you to paths that you may not be aware of, but there are few resources to delve into in the bibliography and little guidance for next steps.

I think The Path of the Witch can and will help those who are savvy and already aware of further communities and resources. I worry that it will give a false sense of security to those who are not.

I truly love this book. It is one of the most comprehensive and well grounded (pun intended) series of insights and lessons on Wicca I have ever had the pleasure to have read. There are many parts that stand out to me. On I never thought of myself as a pagan with a particular focus. After reading this and doing some of the practical rituals I know my most positive place is near the forest. Reading about witchcraft with a Sea or water focus was a new idea to me but made sense. Eclectic wicca is well covered and many paths forward are given. The Sabbats are discussed and the rituals simple and meaningful. Astrology is discussed as well as much the newbie will want to learn more about. This book is not just for the newbie as I learned more about my connection to the Earth and her creatures the more I read. There are recipes in this book that I have never seen before and they actually work!! I made my own sourdough starter from the directions given and I even understood what the ingredients represented to a Wiccan on the path.All in all this book is fun, positive and a solid framework for working the wheel as a Wiccan.

This is great book for beginners. It is organized very well, and easy to flip to different sections for reference. I like that each section has a few spells.

This book is great for beginners. It layers everything out nicely and doesn't have to much of an info dump.

It's cool to see the different paths ones could take. Or mix. The pictures inside really bring it all together

This was a really informative book. Different chapters explaining in detail, but super easy to understand sections about different types of magick and witchcraft. I found the table diagrams really useful, and can see myself dipping in and out of the book for reference. Great book for established witches and new novice witches!
The illustrations were very cute too.

Absolutely stunning book, a fantastic guide, I was drawn in from the first page by the illustrations alone. This book felt welcoming and you can feel the authors good intentions and purpose as you read. It’s well organised, practical and use of plain English is great, not confusing at all and great for a beginner . Highly recommended for anyone wanting to dip there toes into something with heart and soul.

Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for a free copy for an honest opinion

A very thorough explanation of varying paths of witchcraft. The artwork is lovely, with nice splashes of color to help break up the majority of the book's text. Though it doesn't provide much new information, this is still an informative work with lots to offer readers.

This is a beautiful book. It was a joy to read. The research and care that was used to create this book is apparent. The many paths of withcraft are yours for the choosing. Whichever path you walk will depend upon you. The paths are explained in detail along with the tools you will need for the craft. I really enjoyed this lovely book. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in witchcraft.
