$\"\"$ Thorn Mooney gets it. \u201cThere was a time,\u201d Mooney begins in her latest book \u201cThe Witch\u2019s Path: Advancing Your Craft at Every Level\u201d, \u201cparticularly toward the beginning of my practice of the Craft, when I would have planned an elaborate working to mark the occasion. The full moon is a great time to work magic, and I would have taken advantage of the opportunity. Maybe a spell for wealth or luck. Maybe I would have written a meditation and blended an appropriate incense to encourage visions. Maybe I would have cleansed and reconsecrated my altar and simply sat in silent prayer.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBut not tonight,\u201d she continues, \u201cI had a long day at work and have a lot of other things on my mind. My boss is driving me nuts, I\u2019m worried that I\u2019ve misbudgeted and won\u2019t have enough money to pay the car repair bill I just received, and I still need to figure what weekend would be good for our next coven meeting. I try to schedule two per month, but between a full-time job, birthdays, illnesses, and travel, it\u2019s more like once per month. I\u2019m exhausted, and I just want to sit on my couch with a glass of wine and remote control. That would be okay every now and then, but the truth is that I\u2019ve made a bit of a habit out of this. This isn\u2019t the first full moon I\u2019ve skipped.\u201d<\/p>\n

THIS. I FELT THIS on every level. Mooney GETS IT. And I suspect those two paragraphs resonated with many of you too. If so, reward yourself with a copy of \u201cThe Witch\u2019s Path\u201d. This book answers the question of what comes after. After you\u2019ve decided you\u2019re a witch of some sort. After you\u2019ve established a bit of a practice. After the practice becomes routine. She offers practical insights, ideas, and exercises to embellish or reinvigorate your practice.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re new to the craft, \u201cThe Witch\u2019s Path\u201d offers guidance to help avoid pitfalls when establishing a practice, and if you have an established practice, there is definitely something here for you.<\/p>\n
