Kitchen Witchcraft: Crystal Magic book review

A relatively short read with only 152 pages on the paperback version, but still packed with information from top to bottom.

The author starts by sharing the very basics of crystal magic. Including topics like cleansing crystals, choosing your crystals, connecting with their energy and more.

As the book progresses more advance topics are being presented to the reader, that go beyond focusing only on crystals, but adding how to work with crystals in various areas of magic. Chakras, spells, pendulums, and runes are just but a fraction of what this book discusses in its pages.

The emphasis the author places in explaining that her experiences are not the only way and encouraging the reader to follow one’s intuition is refreshing and makes you feel at ease when encountering practices that one might perform in a different manner.

The book continues adding information about crystal’s Magical Properties, Energy, Element, Planet, and Zodiac sign.

As you can see, despite the limited pages contained in the book the information included is rather wide and varied. Which in my opinion makes a nice addition to any witch’s library or for anyone interested in crystals and how to work with them.

The only downside to this book is the lack of images and photographs.

The Hearth Witch’s Kitchen Herbal Review

The Hearth Witch’s Kitchen Herbal

Culinary Herbs for Magic, Beauty, and Health

by Anna Franklin

The Hearth Witch’s Kitchen Herbal Book is a nice little collection of various uses for herbs commonly found in most kitchens. Of the main herbs discussed in this book, the only ones missing from my pantry were cardamon and mint, but they are so easily available, that if I were to need them; with one quick run to the store I can stock up on them.

The book includes many uses for these common household herbs, things like internal remedies, external remedies, cosmetic uses, magical correspondence of the herbs, 6 different appendixes with yet more useful information.

23 herbs make the bulk of this book. They are: Basil, black pepper, caraway, cardamom, chili, cinnamon, clove, coriander, cumin, dill, fennel, fenugreek, garlic, ginger, lemon, mint, oats, oregano, parsley, rosemary, sage, thyme, and turmeric.

All of them with detailed information about their history, culinary uses, cosmetic uses, medicinal uses, and a “caution” section if applicable. Possible risks, potential complications, and pharmaceutical interactions are included in the “caution” section. Extremely important information to keep into account if using herbs for medicinal purposes.

You will also find all the different recipes, like teas, infusions, oils, hot compresses, toners, and more. There are even a couple of face masks, a face scrub, and shampoo.

Although clearly this book is marketed for witches, anyone can benefit from the information inside, maybe just skip the part on correspondence for rituals and spells.

This book makes a great resource to keep in the kitchen (or close by), witch or no, you will find a lot of useful information and easily accessible. The layout is also quite pretty to the eye and makes it easy to search for what you’re looking for, as everything is divided into sections.
