Today we’re talking about The Thrifty Witch’s Book of Simple Spells: Potions, Charms, and Incantations for the Modern Witchby Wren Maple. This is certainly not the first book about affordable witchcraft practices. I’m quite the fan of Witchcraft on a Shoestringby Deborah Blake. Many view these sorts of books as beginner.However, I find there is always something to take away from books like these, and The Thrifty Witch’s Book of Simple Spellsis no exception.
Obviously, Maple covers some basics, you have to cover the bases. But from there she offers a variety of spells in the classic categories: protection, abundance, healing/health, banishing/binding, sleep/relaxation, and psychic. Not only are they easy to understand spells, but the necessary components are simple to acquire or things you may already have. Better still, Maple reminds you that YOU are the most important component to your magic. And it all comes in a package whimsically illustrated by Tanya Jacobson.
The Thrifty Witch’s Book of Simple Spellsby Wren Maple is a fantastic book for beginners or advanced magic practitioners. It inspires readers, or at least inspired THIS reader, to rethink the way you make magic.
