About the author
Cait Johnson is a practicing witch and writer whose books combine seasonal ritual with everyday domestic life. Witch in the Kitchen: Magical Cooking for All Seasons (Destiny Books, 2001) pairs recipes with spells and rituals structured around the eight pagan sabbats, mostly vegetarian and aimed at readers who want to build earth-based practice into ordinary cooking. Tarot Games (HarperOne, 1994) takes a lighter approach to a different subject, offering forty-five games for using a tarot deck for divination, reflection and group play rather than formal reading. Celebrating the Great Mother extends her focus on earth-based spirituality to families, offering activities for parents and children. Across the three books, Johnson's work is consistently practical and accessible, aimed at readers building a seasonal or family-oriented pagan practice rather than at historical or academic study of witchcraft.
