About the author
Amy Cesari writes illustrated guides to plant-based witchcraft and everyday ritual practice. Her "Witch's Herbal Primer: A Beginner's Guide to Plant Magic," published by Book of Shadows, LLC, introduces newcomers to herbal magic through full-color illustrations inspired by historical grimoires, covering plant correspondences and basic ritual use. Her second title, "Coloring Book of Shadows: Cottage Witch Grimoire & Book of Spells," takes a more interactive approach, combining a coloring book format with a grimoire structure built around cottage witchcraft themes such as food, crafts, and gardening as sites of everyday ritual. Together the two books position Cesari's work at the beginner end of the witchcraft shelf, favoring visual, hands-on engagement over dense theory, and aimed at readers who want an accessible, decorative entry point into herbal and cottage-style practice rather than an advanced or historically rigorous treatment of the subject.
