"The practical mantras and rituals in Basic Witches help banish toxic vibes and summon the sorcery to lead an empowered life. Pairs well with a cauldron of rose."-- Los Angeles Times
"A must-read book of spells and lifestyle tips for the aspiring
millennial witch. . . full of humor, positive affirmations,
historical asides, feminist rants, and adorable
illustrations."--Bustle "The perfect book for our times...
It's not going to tell you how to turn invisible, or use positive

very funny way to use rituals to take care of yourself, to create
reminders of the way you want to move through the world... Magic,
indeed."--Tor.com "Packed with plenty of magick, including

guide to boosting self-confidence and reaching positive
outcomes."--Publishers Weekly, starred review "Interesting
and empowering."--Syfy Wire "This book is a gem--get it for
you, for your girl gang, and any woman who might be occasionally
tempted to hex a catcaller."--BookRiot

from within and transform it into personal purpose, truth and
intention."--Soul & Spirit Magazine
