Book Review: The Path of the Witch by Lidia Pradas

  • Source: I received an advance copy of this book on NetGalley

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

The Path of the Witch was a delight to read! I appreciated the overview of general witchy themes, and then the focus on various popular witchy paths in their own chapters. What I like is that it provides several different starting points and gives you a glimpse into what it might be like along each possible path (for example: a Kitchen Witch or a Sea Witch or a Wiccan). If you're interested in herbalism but aren't sure how to get started or where you can go with it, the Green Witch path provides a description, definitions, some basic reference tables, a few recipes, and a meditation. If you're curious about astrology, the Celestial Witch section explains the basics of astrology, celestial bodies and their cycles in connection with the Earth, and more! Every single Path in this book has a similar collection of details that really make it accessible without feeling overwhelming. You get a nice foundation with enough information to feel comfortable trying things out before diving more deeply into books or resources focused on your chosen path(s). Each section also has a beautiful illustration at the beginning, as well as illustrations throughout. This is a fantastic resource for anyone who is interested in beginning their journey into witchcraft but might not know where to start.
