Spellcraft

Spellcraft was an interesting look into witchcraft.

I found the first section the most interesting when it covered the different holidays and why they are celebrated. The second section covered some beginner spells. Some I found interesting, others I found a little too complicated, and a few I feel I already do not knowing they are considered spells. So, it was a very interesting read all the way through. There were also prompts after every spell and holiday to help you think through what you had just read or done. Some of them were quite thought provoking. I feel the questions were extremely strong and not just a basic what did you learn?

While I am not a witch, I find their history fascinating. This book was the most insightful book I have read yet.

I received an advanced reader copy from Quarto Publishing Group- Rock Point through NetGalley. All opinions are 100% my own.

This is such an interesting and unique concept!!
I have never seen anything like this before. It combines all things magick with the idea or journalling.
Fantastic!!

The first part of the book looks at the magick wheel - and the various sabots. While the later half looks more at spell work. Breaking it down even further to look at specific themes within each chapter. (On another note, who would have thought that so many spells involved eggs??!!??) I really like the way this book is broken up, as it makes it really easy to dip in and out of. The journalling aspect after each spell allows you to reflect more deeply into your practise which is great!

The artwork that breaks up the chapters is beautiful. I particularly love the background imagery on these pages.

The only downside was that It ended so abruptly, but this could be down to the proof copy i received.

I really encourage you to get this book if you're interested in spell casting and learning more about magick and witchcraft. I have read a lot of books on this topic, but never seen anything like this. Incredibly original!

To be honest, I know absolutely nothing about Witchcraft but it has interested and intrigued me for quite some time so I was excited to get my hands on a copy of this book.

Spellcraft is a beautiful book, I loved the design and imagery, I also liked the journaling questions, I thought that was a great concept. As I said I’m a complete novice (well less than a novice actually) so some of the spells were beyond me but I plan to learn more and come back to this book. I will be making a witches ladder immediately though.

Thank you to NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group – Rock Point for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

An interesting concept and a very useful book for beginners.
I loved how it is organised, the idea of mixing diary with exercises and the spells.
Recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine

I loved this book! This is a great book for anyone learning to love themselves and to work on the spells or basic understanding. This isn’t like a regular book it’s more of a book that has things to use to learn from, it has journal entries to help you understand what you are feeling and why. This also gives tips, details among other support and ask questions for deeper understanding on your emotions and feelings. This also has step by step instructions on different spells and gives advice and warnings I really think this journal is great! I will definitely purchase for a few friends lol

A very practical and life affirming look at manifesting. This book not only gives simple and practical ways to change things but also explains why it may work or may not. The concept of balance is something rarely discussed in spell books but its a feature in this one. It made a a lot of sense the way the authors move around the wheel with spells that fit the season. This book also discusses writing your effects and other info that cause things to manifest or not. All in all an excellent addition and a great way to move positively forward without running over others or the universe.

This is the type of companion I wish I had when I first started out with spells! It isn’t heavy on explanations and history, not that it claims to be, but I think it is important to know. This is a companion journal that will work along side other spell, witchcraft, and paganism books. You get a paragraph explanation of which holiday or what the spell is used for. The supplies are fairly easy to come by. There is a spell for every holiday in the Wheel of the Year, as well as spells for manifesting, money, creativity, growth, love, and more. The journal prompts are thoughtful and were my favorite part about it.

For a beginner, I think this journal is perfect! You get a little bit of everything to give you a good starting point on spells while you distinguish what works for you. For witches with more experience, I think this would come in handy when you are having spiritual blocks or are reintroducing yourself into spells after spending time away from your craft. The information wouldn’t be new to you, but you may enjoy it as a get back to basics to see how far you’ve come!

As a new beginner to this wonderful new world of tarot. Spells this book is beautifully written, very explanatory, in depth and I was honoured to have been given the privilege to have been chosen to have read it.


Definitely recommend that anyone who is just starting please read this.

A beautiful book abundant with a variety of spells, tips for customization, and so many great journal prompts! I really appreciated that the spells were broken up with by certain times of the year or by purpose. This would be a really great “activity” book for any beginner witch!

I'm not usually the type of witch to journal, but I do take a ton of notes when I'm reading something new, so I really enjoyed this book. It's the perfect combo for both. This book both gives you ideas on how to get started in your craft, but also let's you spread your wings to make every spell your own. I will definitely be buying a hard copy of this one!

Creative, inspirational, thought-provoking. I liked the prompts for journaling included with each ritual, as well as the rituals themselves (explained well and with interesting background info).
