There was a time,Mooney begins in her latest book The Witch&#8217;s Path: Advancing Your Craft at Every Level, particularly 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.<\/p>\n<p>But not tonight,she continues, I had a long day at work and have a lot of other things on my mind. My boss is driving me nuts, I&#8217;m worried that I&#8217;ve misbudgeted and won&#8217;t 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&#8217;s more like once per month. I&#8217;m 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&#8217;ve made a bit of a habit out of this. This isn&#8217;t the first full moon I&#8217;ve skipped.<\/p>\n<p>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 The Witch&#8217;s Path. This book answers the question of what comes after. After you&#8217;ve decided you&#8217;re a witch of some sort. After you&#8217;ve 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<p>If you&#8217;re new to the craft, The Witch&#8217;s Pathoffers 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<p>You can learn more <a href=\"https:\/\/www.llewellyn.com\/product.php?ean=9780738763774\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.indiebound.org\/book\/9780738763774?aff=MagicalBuffet\">Shop your local indie bookstore<\/a> <---This is an affiliate link to IndieBound, which supports independent bookstores throughout the United States.
