Fun fact
Lister succeeds in blending personal lineage with broad spiritual advice, making the esoteric feel accessible. Her voice is warm and authoritative, effectively dismantling fear-based narratives. However, those seeking rigorous academic history or complex ceremonial magic may find the tone too simplistic. It sits comfortably in the 'introductory empowerment' niche, ideal for those ready to step into their sovereignty but requiring practical, gentle guidance rather than dense theory.

📝 Description: Witch: Unleashed. Untamed. Unapologetic.

A compelling book urging modern women to reconnect with their inborn femimine powers. Reclaim your inner witch with the magical rituals, divination tools, spells and ancient wisdom in this revolutionary book. A witch is a woman in her power. She's wise, a healer, someone who is aligned with the cycles of Mother Nature and the phases of the Moon. Yet for so long, the word 'witch' has had negative connotations - being used as an insult, a slur and to perpetuate fear. In this book, third generation hereditary witch Lisa Lister explains the history behind witchcraft, why in past centuries the word 'witch' has led women to be tortured, drowned and burned at the stake, and why the witch is now waking once again in women across the world today. This book will help women to remember, reconnect and reclaim the word 'witch' and its power. It explores the many different versions of witchcraft and their core principles and practices, and shares ancient wisdom made relevant for waking witches, including how to: - Align your energy with the wheel of the year, the sabbats and the cycles of the Moon - Connect with and trust your intuition - Use divination tools such as oracle cards, scrying and rune reading - Cast circles, create altars and set sacred space - Work with the elements of nature and use herbs and crystals - Discover and work with five different aspects of the witch: the Force of Nature, the Creatrix, the Healer, the Oracle and the Sorceress - Rediscover your powers and manifest your reality with spell casting Lisa also shares her own journey to reclaiming the word 'witch', along with personal, hands-on rituals and spells from her family lineage of gypsy witch magic.

💎 Expert review

💎
Esoterica Books editorial team
Occult literature desk
Lisa Lister’s 'Witch' serves as a robust bridge between historical context and modern practice, effectively dismantling the stigma surrounding the term 'witch.' Her approach is accessible and invigorating, making it an ideal entry point for those new to hereditary witchcraft or seeking a feminist reinterpretation of magic. However, readers looking for dense academic analysis or rigid dogmatic structure may find its empowering tone too informal. It is not suited for skeptics who require empirical evidence over spiritual intuition, nor for practitioners already deeply entrenched in complex ceremonial systems who might view the content as overly basic. Ultimately, it is a spirited manifesto rather than a comprehensive technical manual.
