About the author
Brandy Williams is an author within the contemporary ceremonial magic community whose books, published mainly by Llewellyn, range from introductory to more reflective work. Practical Magic for Beginners (2005) is a foundational course in spellcraft aimed at readers of any or no religious background, and its Spanish-language edition, Practicando Magia Blanca, extends the same introductory material to Spanish-speaking readers. Cord Magic (2021) focuses on a narrower practice, working with knots, twists, and string to set intention and direct magical energy. Women's Voices in Magic (Megalithica Books) takes a more critical turn, examining how magical communities encode gendered expectations, such as the association of witches with women and magicians with men. Across these titles Williams moves between practical instruction and commentary on the culture of modern magical practice.
