Praise for this book
“I have what's known as a 'monkey mind.' I've always attributed this to being a Gemini, but it's probably more likely that I'm an undiagnosed Highly Sensitive Person with a side of ADHD. Needless to say, this means my focus is all over the map. So it's no surprise to learn that I have a hard time sitting still. I'm not the only one. For fellow mystical folks who struggle with busy brains, magick can seem out of reach.”
“What a wonderful resource! With the rising awareness around divergent processing, this book is right on schedule. Straight from the title, Jenny C. Bell immediately asks us to look outside of social conditioning and constraints to break through the idea of conformity, a default program that tells us that someone outside of ourselves can say who and what we are magically.”
“Divergent Witchcraft is a timely and much-needed work that honors inclusivity and recognizes the value of holistic spiritual healing. Jenny C. Bell's multidisciplinary approach of drawing from a range of magical and spiritual traditions within her own practice is representative of how modern practitioners actually live and learn.”

However, purists adhering to strict hermetic lineages or those who prefer dense, academic occult theory may find the tone overly simplistic or lacking in historical rigor. It does not suit readers seeking complex ritual mechanics or dogmatic authority. Instead, it serves as a gentle entry point for beginners or those needing flexibility.
