📝 Description: Witch on the Go: A Book of Spells to Take with You

Kitchen witches of yore, are you too busy with job, travel, and family to gather all the specific ingredients and measure and concoct the proper potions for your spells? Here's Cal Garrison to the rescue with a book to match your new onthego lifestyle. "When your life is full," Garrison writes, "you don't have time to honor the Great Mother in the traditional ways any more. At first this bothered me. Then I figured out that magic is everywhere, all the time, in everything we do." And so Cal Garrison wrote this book as much for herself as for anyone else. Witch on the Go has the incantations and simple, easy instructions for casting spells for love, money, and more while you are stuck in traffic, flying to Aruba in the middle of the winter, and unwinding after another long day. Your spell practice doesn't ever have to be left behind because you are constantly on the move. Just remember to pack your Portable Spell Kit and take it with you wherever you go.

💎 Expert review

💎
Esoterica Books editorial team
Occult literature desk
While 'Witch on the Go' successfully democratizes magic for the time-poor, it may disappoint readers seeking deep, complex ceremonial structures or historical rigor. It is not suited for traditionalists who view simplified spellcraft as diluting the craft's integrity. The book excels in its pragmatism, offering quick, actionable techniques rather than theoretical depth. Readers looking for extensive astrological correspondences or intricate ritual geometry will find it lacking. However, for those prioritizing results and integration over form, it is a valuable tool. It does not aim to replace comprehensive grimoires but serves as a companion for daily practice, making magic feel less like a chore and more like a natural extension of one's life.
