About the author
Michael Furie is the author of two practice-focused witchcraft books published by Llewellyn Publications. Spellcasting for Beginners (2012) introduces the fundamentals of magical practice through more than seventy spells and rituals addressed to common concerns such as love, money, healing, and blessings, aimed at readers with no prior background. The Witch's Book of Potions (2021) moves into more specific territory, offering over ninety recipes for brews, infusions, and elixirs made from ingredients available at an ordinary grocery store. Across both books the approach is instructional and step by step, geared toward solitary practitioners building a working repertoire rather than toward the history or theory of witchcraft. The nine-year gap between the two titles traces a shift from general introduction to a more specialized area of practice.
