I have been reading about Wicca and trying to manifest a new job, somehow I feel that when I do spells I somehow get hurt either small bruises or something and than someone told me that WICCA is harming please help how to prevent this.
@@shwetajoshi4982 Wicca is an earth-based new age religion with some incorporated magical practices. It doesnt necessarily depend on magic, its just earth worship at its core. People will always tell you witchcraft is harmful - its the reason why they killed so many women and men over the last few hundred years. You just don't listen. Do what you want with no intention of harming others. Probably keep your practices secret since it sounds like you have judgemental, misinformed people around you.
@@sputniksweetheart5187 Wicca has it's origins in the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. The founder of Wicca, Gerald Gardner, was a member of the Golden Dawn. So, it's not New Age.
Theres a book called “Solitary Witch”. I believe it was my 1st or 2nd book ever on craft and THAT book has almost EVERYTHING about EVERYTHING witch n witchcraft. I highly recommend it for baby witches and all others just wanting more knowledge on the craft. Its usually one of my go to books if I forget how to do something or need a refresher
I agree this book i picked up a few weeks back and already after reading the first 20 pages i was hooked . This book contains not only the basics but ways to use your energy and connect to yourself . I agree with wonderlust fully on this book review please read it and see what exercises you feel is right to your practice see what calls to you !
Autumn Stormcaller Would you recommend it to an intermediate witch too? I’d need to buy it and am moderately low on funds so I don’t want to make a purchase only to find it’s mostly for baby witches 😊
Thank you for recommending this book! I am reading it now. It's been an eye opener, and I've only just read into the first few chapters. Reading this book has made me feel like someone just placed a hand on my shoulder and said. "Yes, this is why you have felt this way. You are normal to feel this way. Let me help you." I am sure after I finish this book I will read it again and again. Thank you for recommending this!
Before You Cast a Spell is very "back to basics". It's about ethics, meditation, the purpose of magic, what it should be, not how to follow spells. He doesn't like spell books, believing the best magic to be created by yourself not another practitioner. It's very blunt at times, but that's fine. It's just right to the point. My copy of Psychic Witch arrived the other day. I'll be reading that after I finish The Green Witch again.
Currently reading this book, and as someone who started with Cunningham, this book just hits different. Highly recommend!! Love your channel Olivia!! Blessed Be.
And if all else fails, and you have amazon kindle downloaded on your phone, you can do the kindle version until you get your hard copy! That's probably what I'm gonna do :)
This is the video I have been searching for. I'm on day 3 of my studies. I feel the hardest thing I have encountered is really just figuring out where to start. I cannot wait to get my hands on this book. Thank you for the recommendation!
I bought this book on audible and just finished chapter one! It's really good and explained a lot of stuff which put things into perspective! Love your videos Olivia! ♥️
Thank you for this review! I am still a bit new but you hit the nail on the head when you mentioned that a lot of books for beginners are not very thorough or detailed. I am ordering it now!! Thank you!!
Mat's a great guy. He's a friend of mine and he was so excited to write his first book. Definitely made sure to order it as soon as I could! Not done reading it yet, but so far I am enjoying it.
Your voice is so calming yet energetic! It can make me fall asleep or help me wake up in the morning! I love your channel and I love what you do. As a beginner, you have helped me a lot with my studies and everything else! Thank you!
I bought the book just after reading the first chapter on line. I am new at this and I am like a sponge. I have learned so much from watching your videos
Thank you so much for the book reviews! I have been a solitary witch for going on 8 years now and I am always looking for good books to read. This one does look really good.
Ordered! 4th book you've recommended (including your own) that I've ordered. :D now I just need to sit myself down and read them. Thanks for all you do!
I have been eyeing this book for a WHILE now, but I have spent so much time browsing Amazon, waffling about which of a bajillion books to get and ultimately, not buying any books. This review was so helpful. Thank you!
I just got this book today and worked through the first quarter and did the exercises. Very intense! Wonderful guide! I can’t wait to do more tomorrow!
I love this coven channel so much. Thank you for the sharing of your resources with everyone! Love this video and I will have to buy this book for sure. Metaphysics is my obstacle right now and I sens that this will help with that.
My mom let me borrow this book, and i’ve barely dipped into it. Seeing this review made me so happy because I already have so many witch books but had no clue which one would be the one to start with. I’m so excited to keep reading through this book and practicing the exercises.
as per your review ... I bought the book yesterday. And you're right the exercises will definitely last me a while. I don't know how many times I was sitting there and then my cat would distract me and i would be like "okay back to 100..." love it!
Thank you so much for getting it! One thing I wish I could have put in that book is that it's okay to work at a lower number and slowly work up to 100 after a while. (ie try to count to 10 one sitting, then 25 another, then 50, and so on)
@@MatAuryn Omg, I know this thread is old but thanks so much for this comment! I have been stuck on step one forever. Lol. I make it from 100-0 the first time, but the second time I get dozy around 40 or so and lose count. Every. Time. For days and days. This alteration will really help me push through!
Thank you for this timely book review. I have had this on my Amazon wishlist and today, being my first day out of work and in quarantine, I went ahead and ordered it. I am a beginner and this layout appeals to my style of learning by doing. Excited to dive into this one!
Oh my gosh you hit the nail on the head when you spoke about the beginners book where they talk about grounding like we should already know. I don't know how many times I've had to stop reading and go find info about what they are talking about. Anyway thank you for this recommendation. ❤
This book keeps popping up on my Amazon. I am very new in my journey of learning and studying. I am definitely going to pick this book up to add to my ever-growing reading list. Thank you!
I'm not going to lie.. I saw memes on the witchy side of tumblr and I saw your video and immediately clicked. I NEEDED TO KNOW! Dispite that the witches where using it as a meme they where also complaining it and I just never got to see what it actually was and now I know THANK YOU! LOVE YOUR VIDS💜🖤💜
This book is amazing! I'm new to the practice & loved the idea of the exercises for the mental aspect. This is great to integrate into your practice so you're in the right headspace(visulatuon & grounding )as well as the other aspects of practicing psychic abilities.
i kid you not this morning i was looking at witch books on amazon bc i thought it was about time to read another and this is the one i was thinking of!!! and then you posted this video! i woke up not even knowing this book existed so i think this is a sign haha
Don't do what I did and skip over the basic exercises like I did the first time around. Don't underestimate the power of basic breathwork/meditation! The grounding exercise was particularly powerful! Great book! Another thing I like about this book is that it seems almost entirely focused on techniques you can work with without the need to go out and buy a bunch of ritual implements and tools and external stuff like that; all the tools you need are inside your mind! This thing is loaded with good stuff! Also, the ranch dressing bit almost made me shoot my water out my nose, lol.
Have been on this path for a while but I have learned I love going back to the basics and adding new things to my toolbox. Ordered this because of your review. Oh.. fun tip: I will record myself reading the meditations from books so it is easier for me to do them. Highly recommend.
I agree with all that you stated about this book. I'm in the middle of it. I'm a slow reader because I like to actually like to consume and process what I'm reading.
Wow ok u sold me the book when I saw the cover as the owl 🦉 is my spirit animal so thank you for that i wil difflee go get it could you let me no where to get or is it on line b great to no thank you so much!! Sending love an light 💕🦉
Thanks for this review. I was looking for good beginner books, and this review sounds absolutely perfect for what I´m looking for. I ordered it and am so excited to read it!
I’ve been a witch for years and this is the book I wish was out there when I got started!!
one of the lines in the book actually talks about how they wished this book was around when they started lol
I have been reading about Wicca and trying to manifest a new job, somehow I feel that when I do spells I somehow get hurt either small bruises or something and than someone told me that WICCA is harming please help how to prevent this.

I finished "Before You Cast a Spell" by Carl McColman today. You'd recommended that too.
I shall add this book to my list of beginners books also.
Feedback??

As a practitioner of chaos magick, I'm freaking stoked for this book!!
Thank you, this is one o the only channels i can watch that really connects to me and gets information straight!!!
I’m so sad, at the moment she said “grab some tea” I had just finished mine ;-;
2:24 100%!!!! you would think there would be so much in-depth info on the basics but there’s not.
Omg you and Harmony uploaded at the same time, my two faves, Im spoiled today ❤️❤️❤️
i know right lol
OMG yes
Same 😂
I just bought that book but haven't read it yet but know really looking forward to it.
Practical protection magick is incredible for beginners as well

I've been looking and researching for good books about witchcraft all afternoon now, so your video comes just at the right time! :)

Omg sold, I loved how you explained the book, I can definitely tell you loved it. Can’t wait to read☺️
Currently reading this book, and as someone who started with Cunningham, this book just hits different. Highly recommend!!
Love your channel Olivia!! Blessed Be.
Just in case Amazon is still pausing non-essential shipping cause of COVID-19, Barnes&Nobles does sell it
And if all else fails, and you have amazon kindle downloaded on your phone, you can do the kindle version until you get your hard copy! That's probably what I'm gonna do :)
It's also available on audible
I'd also suggest IndieBound and Thriftbooks! IndieBound helps support your local businesses, and Thriftbooks is affordable.
We're you buy that kind of book I love wicthes I want to learn more
