About the author
Bridget Bishop is the credited author of a set of beginner spellcraft books from Hentopan Publishing, among them The Spell Book for Beginners and The Crystal Magic Spell Book. The name is shared with the woman executed in the 1692 Salem witch trials, but nothing in these books ties the two together, and the catalogue gives no further biographical information about the author. The Spell Book for Beginners, published in 2021, works through more than 150 spells organized around candles, crystals, and herbs, pitched at readers with no prior experience. The Crystal Magic Spell Book narrows the focus to crystal work for healing, love, and prosperity, while The Candle Magic Spell Book (2020) does the same for candle-based practice. All three share a plain, instructional format - short explanations followed by step-by-step spells - aimed squarely at newcomers to witchcraft rather than experienced practitioners.
