Summary
Forget warts and cauldrons—a new generation of witches is on the rise。 From justice spells to protective charms， Frankie Castanea brings her fresh style to an ancient practice， showing that contemporary witchcraft is a powerful force for good and a tool for manifesting positive change。
Modern-day witches are a blend of the old and the new。 They travel to the grocery store， work nine-to-five jobs， and teach in our classrooms。 They also carry black tourmaline and quartz， and wave bay and rosemary bundles over their doorways。
Within an ancient and sacred practice， a new type of Craft has taken hold: one that combines the power of action with energy and intent， prioritizes self-realization， and matches its activism with manifestation。
With chapters on meditation， grounding， cleansing， banishing， binding， and more， Spells for Change will help the modern witch create change within the hearth， the heart， and the world—one spell at a time。

‘（…） witchcraft is activism， and always have been activism。 Witches have consistently stood up against injustice， fought to right power dynamics， and held the environment in high regard。 Spiritual activism is a key to decolonization。’

Un libro davvero carino， con tante precisazioni necessarie come il fatto che la spiritualità sia attivismo， ma anche tante domande per iniziare al meglio il nostro percorso。Sebbene io pratichi da anni e quindi non abbia realmente bisogno di questo libro， è stata comunque una lettura interessante。Recensione completa qui https://www。youtube。com/watch？v=qbFM5。。。 Un libro davvero carino， con tante precisazioni necessarie come il fatto che la spiritualità sia attivismo， ma anche tante domande per iniziare al meglio il nostro percorso。Sebbene io pratichi da anni e quindi non abbia realmente bisogno di questo libro， è stata comunque una lettura interessante。Recensione completa qui https://www。youtube。com/watch？v=qbFM5。。。 。。。more

I have to start this review by stating that I am not a “beginner witch”， nor am I new to studying the occult or the Craft。 I must also state that I am a very big fan of Frankie’s， and that I really enjoy their YouTube videos。 I bought this book primarily to support them because I love to see young LGBTQ+ people a） producing content and spreading good knowledge and information to those who want it; and b） because I want Frankie to get their coins from this。However， I have a few gripes with ‘Spell I have to start this review by stating that I am not a “beginner witch”， nor am I new to studying the occult or the Craft。 I must also state that I am a very big fan of Frankie’s， and that I really enjoy their YouTube videos。 I bought this book primarily to support them because I love to see young LGBTQ+ people a） producing content and spreading good knowledge and information to those who want it; and b） because I want Frankie to get their coins from this。However， I have a few gripes with ‘Spells for Change’， with the biggest being that the first half of the book is very difficult to read。 It may be because I have extensive experience and education regarding English， English education， writing and editing， but there are a lot of grammatical and punctuation mistakes that should’ve been picked up by an editor or proofreader。 There are a lot of splice commas which unfortunately make a lot of sentences very confusing。 There are also multiple parts of the book where Frankie begins to speak about something and then it is never mentioned again （their experiences with Freyja suddenly being mentioned and then dropped to never really be discussed again）。 Furthermore， there is a part where ‘deity’ is mentioned about four times before being clumsily defined on the fifth mention。 These are little writing errors which I strongly believe are the fault of the publishing house。 How were these not picked up？ Frankie， for the next book， please call me。The first half of the book therefore， as well as being a bit basic （I can’t help but compare it to ‘Wicca’ by Harmony Nice） is hard to read and the very， very foundations。 The section on crystals， herbs and trees etc。 I don’t doubt I will find useful for future reference。 However， I think that ‘Wicca’ in that regard is more useful as it has reference to all that Frankie speaks about as well as moon phases and the wheel of the year， which I feel， regardless of whether you define yourself as Wiccan or not， are really fundamental within Paganism and modern day Paganism。 Still - I’m always happy to have a further reference book on my shelf。The second half of the book is where it gets good。 Frankie explores the basics of cleansing， banishing and binding。 These sections are pretty good and very useful。 I wish that the whole book was this good。 I almost just want to tear out the first half！ Frankie very clearly knows their stuff regarding the topics of the latter half - and I am very much looking forward to incorporating the spells and rituals Frankie details into my own practice。 I don’t doubt their potency。 In this regard， just looking at pages approx。 140 onwards， ‘Spells for Change’ is a very good beginner book。 Much better than Harmony Nice’s ‘Wicca’。 I just wish the whole book had that vibe。In summation， I suppose I am a little disappointed to see Frankie， who is bright， witty and a POWERHOUSE of occult knowledge， writing a book that feels a bit too ‘love and light’。 I will be first in line for a book from Frankie that explores the gritty-ness of their craft - something which is more in line with the image that they have online。 More bones and folk-craft than a new-age money-making feel。 Being brutally honest， it works okay for an absolute beginner who has never heard of witchcraft before， but I’d pair it with ‘Wicca’ by Harmony Nice and ‘Miracles of our Own Making’ by Liz Williams if I were to gift it to a beginner。 Still， despite everything I’ve said， I’m still happy with my purchase because I really respect Frankie as a creator and I wanted to support them regardless of how much I was going to like their book or not。 I have huge respect for them managing to write a whole book during a pandemic and everything else they’ve undoubtedly been up to！Expecting much better things from the next one， and looking forward to it very much！ 。。。more
