It\u2019s hard to keep a good book down, which explains why thanks to Crossed Crow Books the once unavailable \u201cWitchcraft on a Shoestring: Practicing the Craft Without Breaking the Budget\u201d by Deborah Blake is back. It\u2019s hard to believe it first was published by Llewellyn Worldwide in 2010, but damn, here we are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWitchcraft on a Shoestring\u201d was a helpful book back in 2010, but I feel it\u2019s even more relevant now that we\u2019re all starting to truly feel the effects of our hyper capitalist society, where things are purchased just to be highlighted on our social media, and our environment is buckling under the weight of discarded purchases. While it\u2019s true that it is handy, and fun, to collect magical, witchy ephemera, it is hardly a requirement and Blake\u2019s book highlights that fact. In Blake\u2019s book you\u2019ll find instructions on how to make ritual items for less, affordable ways to amass information, budget friendly ways to feed a crowd at holiday celebrations and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let’s say you own the 2010 version of \u201cWitchcraft on a Shoestring,\u201d do you need this version? Not really. I will say that I prefer the layout of the table of contents in this new version, and as far as I could tell the only thing you\u2019ll miss out on is a small index featuring runes that was in the original. However, if the copy you have is dog eared from repeatedly referencing it (mine is from making the Tres Leches Pie on repeat) this is a good time to upgrade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No matter what kind of witchcraft you practice, and even if you\u2019re horrible at DIY (like myself) you will find value in owning \u201cWitchcraft on a Shoestring\u201d by Deborah Blake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
