The Spell Book for New Witches is an excellent introduction into witchcraft that debunks the myths surrounding this spiritual practice. Like all books on this subject, the information presented should be taken with a grain of salt as everybody's practice is different.

I have been a spiritual practitioner of witchcraft for some time, and I am extremely passionate about sharing the beauty of this spiritual practice with others. Witchcraft has often been seen as a "bad word" because some religions have defined it as evil; but in reality, witchcraft is the practice of connecting with the natural world and acknowledging and utilizing the energies that all living things bring into existence.
The Spell Book for New Witches is a beautiful first reader on the subject because Ambrosia Hawthorn explains some of the histories of this practice while providing a plethora of example spells that one can use to become acquainted with the practice. She also explains many of the different objects that witches use, and why they are important, without telling the reader exactly what they must do to be considered a "witch". I wish that I had found this book when I was first exploring witchcraft because it makes the reader feel well informed and welcomed. So many other texts make the reader feel as though they have to earn the right to be considered a "witch", but Hawthorn presents love and acceptance through her writing that creates a lovely learning and reading experience.
Whether you are interested in learning about witchcraft or are a seasoned practitioner, The Spell Book for New Witches will bring you new insight while debunking the myths surrounding this beautiful spiritual practice. I have increased my knowledge base of spells while learning new things about witchcraft through reading this book. I passionately recommend The Spell Book for New Witches to help you begin or expand your spiritual practice. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the beauty of witchcraft!

I dove into The Spell Book for New Witches: Essential Spells to Change Your Life for a couple of specific reasons. Mostly because it worked for some challenges that I'm in. It also doesn't hurt that it's a book from a new author. Or that the title alone seemed pretty interesting.
Now I've never been one of those people who believed in energy, spells, or crystals. I do think they are an interesting topic though and one I would like to explore a bit more. I mean, I like all of that stuff in shows, movies, and books. So, I figured I should dive into another take on it because people do believe in these things.
In the beginning, we get a lot of information and explanations for certain things. I was a little sad that blue mentioned depression since it's my favorite color, but it also makes sense as well. Even though I'm far from depressed. Other than that, I liked how the spells were broken into certain parts. A lot of them were interesting to read about and others were okay but not for me.
In the end, it was a very interesting read and opened my eyes to something I didn't fully understand. I still think that I have a lot more to learn and will probably have to dive into other books to get all that information.

Though this is an Ebook but the first thing I would Like to say about this book is its cover image. I think it is Beautiful and the book inside is also quite interesting. It has been Written by the Witchology Magazine owner Ambrosia Hawthorn
Magic is present within us all—when accessed, it allows us to connect to the natural world, invite in opportunities, and create the change we need in our lives. The Spell Book for New Witches is an excellent introduction into witchcraft that debunks the myths surrounding this spiritual practice. The Spell Book for New Witches encourages everyone to tap into the magic inside by connecting with nature. The first 50 or so pages focus on background information, and the remaining 150 or so pages focus on different spells.

A solid beginner book. Too wicca-based in my opinion.

This is great for beginners, but by the time it got to me, I already knew almost everything in the book. I have been doing research into commonalities between all the different Pagan religions and this just served to confirm to me the similarities I had already found.
I'd recommend this for anyone new and interested in getting into spellcraft, but only those who are new or beginners.
