About the author
Gabriela Herstik is a contemporary writer on witchcraft and modern occult practice, known for her book Inner Witch: A Modern Guide to the Ancient Craft, published by Tarcher in 2018 and later translated into Spanish as Cómo Ser Una Bruja Moderna. Inner Witch frames witchcraft as a tool for self-knowledge, combining tarot, astrology and crystal work into an accessible practice aimed largely at readers new to the craft. Her later book, Bewitching the Elements, extends this approach through the five elements of earth, air, fire, water and spirit, using meditation, breathwork and ritual as its methods. Herstik writes in a conversational, contemporary voice aimed at readers encountering witchcraft through popular culture rather than older esoteric traditions, and her books sit within the broader resurgence of interest in witchcraft, tarot and astrology among general readers.
