Review: The Witch’s Cauldron

Last updated on: April 18, 2020 at 7:01 pm By Mat Auryn

Aside from a broom and a pointed hat, the most common icon associated with witchcraft universally is the cauldron. While there’s various teachings, lore and uses for the cauldron in witchcraft, no book is as complete on the subject as Laura Tempest Zakroff’s The Witch’s Cauldron: The Craft, Lore & Magick of Ritual Vessels. Tempest lays out the basics of a cauldron, exploring the definition of what makes a cauldron and the traditional symbolism of the cauldron itself. I also have to... Read more

Fluffy Bunny Witches

Last updated on: April 18, 2020 at 6:55 pm By Mat Auryn

I think it’s absolutely amusing how people will use “Fluffy Bunny” as if that says something about their power. Most people I have known that are called “fluffy bunnies” by others are mad powerhouses, particularly the famous authors associated with that term. Just because their ethical stances (or the ethics that they teach publicly for beginners) is different than yours, does not mean they don’t know their shit or how to use it. When you become strong within your own... Read more

Review: Protection & Reversal Magick

Last updated on: April 18, 2020 at 6:53 pm By Mat Auryn

There’s a lot of magickal self-defense books out there. Some are better than others but this book is my hands-down favorite. Jason Miller’s Protection and Reversal Magick: A Witch’s Defense Manual is exactly what it claims to be and more. While this may not be the best book for anyone who half-heartedly dabbles in the magickal arts, it’s a fantastic book for the more serious practitioner. Jason Miller himself is one of the occultists that I’m a huge fan of and whose... Read more

Review: The Witching Herbs

Last updated on: April 18, 2020 at 6:45 pm By Mat Auryn

Harold Roth of Alchemy Works is pretty well known amongst serious magickal practitioners as THE expert when it comes to plants. Known for not only his wisdom of plant magick, but also his knowledge when it comes to planting, growing, taking care of and harvesting plants. When I heard he was writing a book, I couldn’t wait to get my hands on it, because I knew it would be fantastic. As soon as you open the book you see the high... Read more

The Witch’s Response

Last updated on: April 18, 2020 at 6:33 pm By Mat Auryn

The witch is sovereign, partially meaning that they are in mindful control of their mind, their heart, their will, their words, their actions, their responses and their life. This is no easy task nor one that should be taken lightly. As a witch, one of the things I constantly contemplate are the things which may hold power over me. So how does one know that their power is out of balance, that something holds power over them? I believe it... Read more

Review: The Encyclopedia of Essential Oils

Julia Lawless’ The Encyclopedia of Essential Oils: The Complete Guide to the Use of Aromatic Oils In Aromatherapy, Herbalism, Health, and Well Being is a comprehensive resource on essential oil has completed an area of my library that I didn’t have information on. I approach this book as a magickal practitioner, and while there are many great books on the folk lore and magickal correspondences of plants and essential oil – this book takes a different approach – the aromatherapy and holistic...

Review: The Goddess In America

Last updated on: April 18, 2020 at 6:20 pm By Mat Auryn

This is a greatly needed book on the relationship between the Goddess and America and a fascinating read. The Goddess in America: The Divine Feminine in Cultural Context edited by Trevor Greenfield is an anthology of various writers. The book is divided into four main parts; The Native Goddess, The Migrant Goddess, The Relational Goddess, and the Contemporary Goddess. The Native Goddess touches upon the influence matriarchal focused native tribes have had on modern goddess spirituality and feminism. The following chapters discuss... Read more
