Book Review: Anatomy of a Witch by Laura Tempest Zakroff

  • Source: I received an advance copy of this book on NetGalley (and then pre-ordered my own physical copy!)

  • My Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (see my review on Goodreads)

Anatomy of a Witch was the book I needed at this particular time in my life and witchy journey. It's the kind of companion I didn't know I was looking for, to help me not only understand the power and magic within my physical body, but to allow me to open up and embrace it with the love and acceptance I struggle to achieve. Reading this book at the end of each day was a welcome balm and reminder to take care of myself. A few of my favorite things about Anatomy of a Witch: the framework of your body as a pentagram and the connection to the Elements; the connections to the first 10 cards of the Major Arcana in the tarot, which allowed me to gain a deeper understand of each card AND each aspect of my witch body; the practical exercises, journal prompts, and "witchuals" provided throughout each chapter (not just at the end); the inclusion of specific sigils for each chapter that can help me connect even deeper with each aspect of my witch body. I can't say enough good things about this book, and it is something that I will continue to reference and reread throughout the rest of my life. Yes, I immediately pre-ordered my own physical copy of this book as soon as I finished the advance copy! I'd recommend Anatomy of a Witch to anyone on their own witchcraft journey and/or anyone who would like to approach their relationship with their body from a loving and magical perspective. I am so grateful for this book.
