Silver Ravenwolf is back and better than ever！ Her newest book， The Witching Hour: Spells， Powders， Formulas and Techniques That Work is hands down the best book she’s written in my opinion。 When her first books were originally published， they were revolutionary for the world of witchcraft。 She alone， set the bar and standard for witchcraft books for at least a decade。 I’m pretty sure I’ve read all of Silver Ravenwolf’s published works， as she was my introduction into the world of witchcraft as Silver Ravenwolf is back and better than ever！ Her newest book， The Witching Hour: Spells， Powders， Formulas and Techniques That Work is hands down the best book she’s written in my opinion。 When her first books were originally published， they were revolutionary for the world of witchcraft。 She alone， set the bar and standard for witchcraft books for at least a decade。 I’m pretty sure I’ve read all of Silver Ravenwolf’s published works， as she was my introduction into the world of witchcraft as a child and has always held a special place in my heart。As such， as a reader it’s hard to feel that you aren’t witnessing the evolution and changes that Silver Ravenwolf has gone through in the years， particularly by looking at her works outside of her wildly popular “To” and “Solitary Witch” and “Silver’s Spells” series。 When Silver emerged as a writer， she was able to present witchcraft in a way that was easy to understand， entertaining and personal。 In the mid-90’s we first see a hint of what her works will evolve into with her book HexCraft， which was later republished under the title American Folk Magick。 In that book she explore Pennyslvanian Dutch Folk Magick and experiments with trying to reverse-engineer its Germanic Pagan roots， offering pagan alternatives alongside the original Christian-esque folk magick practices as they’re still preserved。She then started exploring and sharing more in-depth thoughts and discoveries regarding energy-work and meditation with Mindlight: Secrets of Energy， Magick & Manifestation。 After that we got A Witch’s Notebook from her， which explores her notes， secrets， tips and musings from experimenting with magick and exploring things outside of the box。 Shortly after that was HedgeWitch: Spells， Crafts & Rituals For Natural Magick， showing once again her love for folk-flavored magick， uniting the craft with crafting and embracing the powerful simplicity of the magick of the hearth， home and garden。 Following this thread of books， it’s understandable that The Witching Hour would be her next book and seems like the natural progression of where her magick was heading。The Witching Hour is the first book she’s written in quite a while， being nine years in the making。 During this time she’s been assimilating， experimenting， practicing and mastering magick that breaks the mode。 It also feels like this is her most earnest work to date， feeling like it’s been the least censored by her publishers of all her works。 For example， she includes serval bindings and banishings。 She even firmly states that “My job in this book is not to discuss the morality of the magick， I believe that by working with the plants and their spirits that you will find your own way to nirvana。” Among these is a working which she’s titled “Bitch Gotta Go Exorcism”。The Witching Hour is an exploration of modern conjure-flavored folk magick， experimenting with finding something that pagan witches can use without constantly utilizing saints， the Bible， Jesus or his dad。 From her experimentation， she’s selected what she has found to be the most effective and simple in this experimentation。 So while there’s a bunch of books on this subject on the market， what makes this book unique and special other than orienting it for the witch？ Because she truly brings something new to the table。For me to explain that， I must explain the title of the book itself。 The concept of “the witching hour” refers to a very old belief in Western cultures that there’s a time of night （usually midnight or three in the morning） where the veil between the worlds is the thinnest。 During this liminal time betwixt day and night it was believed that spirits were the most active and witches were awake casting their spells。 Among modern witches （and in my own witchcraft training）， the term is used as an allusion to refer to this concept as a state of mind。 It’s when you’re in the headspace where everything and anything is possible and you feel completely plugged into your magick and tuned into different worlds。This is why the book title is so perfect for this book。 While there’s many books out there on doing conjure work， Silver starts off with giving you a great jumping point into empowering the magick itself。 Focusing on various breathing techniques， visualization techniques and energy work – she helps align you into the state of the witching hour to transform throwing ingredients together and reciting chants with merely intention into powerful acts of simple magick that work effectively。 She helps you tap into what she refers to as the “Sea of Potential” which is likened to the nervous system of the universe – to gain all the answers you need and to make all things possible。 She also brings some elements of witchcraft into the conjuration work to help improve its effectiveness such as moon phases， the four elements， the doctrine of signatures and astrology。I approached this book wanting to be critical。 Surely there was something that I could critique about this book。 While I love Silver’s catalogue of works I find that I don’t always agree with the information in them or there’s something that I just don’t resonate with。 This happens with most books that I read。 So I set aside my love for Mama Silver and my goal was to fairly scrutinize the book， to find some flaws。 However， I couldn’t find anything that I could critique。 This is the book that I’ve always wanted Silver to write and I believe that this is definitely her best book yet。 。。。more

I have a lot of complex feelings about this book。 On the one hand， I am sooo grateful it isn't just another intro to Wicca book， on the other， it really isn't much more than a cleverly put together and published Grimoire。 The one thing that does set this book apart from other Grimoires I have read is how heavily influenced it is by the Braucherei system。 This makes a lot of sense since the author is Pennsylvanian themself， and I really enjoyed getting to know this system a bit better。 I have a lot of complex feelings about this book。 On the one hand， I am sooo grateful it isn't just another intro to Wicca book， on the other， it really isn't much more than a cleverly put together and published Grimoire。 The one thing that does set this book apart from other Grimoires I have read is how heavily influenced it is by the Braucherei system。 This makes a lot of sense since the author is Pennsylvanian themself， and I really enjoyed getting to know this system a bit better。 。。。more

I love her books and always get a LOT of useful info from them。 But this one I had trouble with。 A lot of it was confusing to me， perhaps because I am a solitary pagan and have never had a mentor in the craft， whereas Silver is an experienced witch with many years of practice。 I’m no good at calculus either， and some of the formulas in this book reminded me of being in college and not understanding my professor either。 But the book had useful info and rituals， and I’m glad I stuck with it and fi I love her books and always get a LOT of useful info from them。 But this one I had trouble with。 A lot of it was confusing to me， perhaps because I am a solitary pagan and have never had a mentor in the craft， whereas Silver is an experienced witch with many years of practice。 I’m no good at calculus either， and some of the formulas in this book reminded me of being in college and not understanding my professor either。 But the book had useful info and rituals， and I’m glad I stuck with it and finished。 。。。more

I really enjoyed this。 It was a bit out of my comfort zone in terms of knowledge so a lot to take in personally but I think if this is an area of interest it is well worth the read。 Lots of illustrations to go with the recipes and all about owning and developing your own power。 It's in depth and tells you everything you may need to buy。Really enjoyable and great to try and learn something new to me。Free arc from netgalley I really enjoyed this。 It was a bit out of my comfort zone in terms of knowledge so a lot to take in personally but I think if this is an area of interest it is well worth the read。 Lots of illustrations to go with the recipes and all about owning and developing your own power。 It's in depth and tells you everything you may need to buy。Really enjoyable and great to try and learn something new to me。Free arc from netgalley 。。。more

This book is magical。 It's a wonderful encyclopedia of all things mystical。 From herbal blends， to protection spells， to meditation， and learning the moon cycles， there's something for everyone。 A sort of how-to guide that builds on creating a balanced mind and body and working in healing herbs， blends， and embracing the elements。 There's a huge section on gardening and where to place which plants in your garden for performance and use。 It's really amazing and so thoughtful。 Every question you'v This book is magical。 It's a wonderful encyclopedia of all things mystical。 From herbal blends， to protection spells， to meditation， and learning the moon cycles， there's something for everyone。 A sort of how-to guide that builds on creating a balanced mind and body and working in healing herbs， blends， and embracing the elements。 There's a huge section on gardening and where to place which plants in your garden for performance and use。 It's really amazing and so thoughtful。 Every question you've had about making your own powders and bends is likely in this book。 If you're looking for rituals， spiritual cleansing， blessings， GET THIS BOOK。 。。。more

I've never read one of Silver RavenWolf's books before， although she is a well-known new age writer。 I really didn't know what to expect when reading "The Witching Hour"， but I approached it with an open mind and I am glad I did。 First I enjoyed the little illustrations in the book。 Sometimes just look at a pretty book can make your day better， well at least mine anyway。 This book is about conjuring your own power， your own "Witching Hour" and using it as see fit。 The introduction has some real I've never read one of Silver RavenWolf's books before， although she is a well-known new age writer。 I really didn't know what to expect when reading "The Witching Hour"， but I approached it with an open mind and I am glad I did。 First I enjoyed the little illustrations in the book。 Sometimes just look at a pretty book can make your day better， well at least mine anyway。 This book is about conjuring your own power， your own "Witching Hour" and using it as see fit。 The introduction has some really good information on what is "Magick"， how can it be found， and how can you harness it。 Now， there are as probably as many definitions of magick as there are practitioners， but she makes some really interesting points。 Like many of these types of books there are techniques to try and meditations。 There is also a chapter on the tools and supplies you will need in your practice。 Some spellwork， and new insights into things you may normally overlook。 I've not tried anything in the book yet， except a few of the simple exercises in the beginning of the book， but it full of a lot of great info。I am really glad I read this book。 Although it is aimed at the beginner practitioner， I think its a great refresher for someone more seasoned， or someone to get back to their roots and what really drives their practice。 I received an e-copy of this book from NetGalley for my honest review。 。。。more

Thanks to Netgalley for providing me with this book in exchange for a review！This book took me forever to read， and I ended up skimming most of it。 There is so much information， that it's hard to take it all in， in one read but I'll go back and have a decent read of sections later when I need/want the information。I love the fact that she uses citations and her ideas about combining magick and science！The biggest fault I found with this book is that it was so unorganised。 I felt like there was no Thanks to Netgalley for providing me with this book in exchange for a review！This book took me forever to read， and I ended up skimming most of it。 There is so much information， that it's hard to take it all in， in one read but I'll go back and have a decent read of sections later when I need/want the information。I love the fact that she uses citations and her ideas about combining magick and science！The biggest fault I found with this book is that it was so unorganised。 I felt like there was no method to the layout。 There are also a few unnecessary repetitions and typos。 Although， it may be because the book hadn't finished being edited。I liked the section on herbs， although I guess I had a few different beliefs than the author but it was still an interesting read。Give this book a go， it's full of information and could be a very valuable resource to someone。 。。。more

Author does not disappoint in delivering a magickal book worth reading。 It not only gives great information on doing magick but takes time to give Teachings on the person doing the magick。 Conditions don't just have to be right but the person doing it has to be in the right mind set。 Author does not disappoint in delivering a magickal book worth reading。 It not only gives great information on doing magick but takes time to give Teachings on the person doing the magick。 Conditions don't just have to be right but the person doing it has to be in the right mind set。 。。。more

Ah， my old friend Silver RavenWolf。 We meet again。 My enjoyment of this particular author is hit and miss: some of her books I absolutely adore and take front and center stage on my shelf。 Others， not so much。 This one fell pretty safely into the middle for me。 The organization of this book is really， really disjointed。 It's a bit all over the place， and makes it hard to read。 The tone comes off as a bit one true way: that this is how you should do it， because I say so。 That said， there's a lot Ah， my old friend Silver RavenWolf。 We meet again。 My enjoyment of this particular author is hit and miss: some of her books I absolutely adore and take front and center stage on my shelf。 Others， not so much。 This one fell pretty safely into the middle for me。 The organization of this book is really， really disjointed。 It's a bit all over the place， and makes it hard to read。 The tone comes off as a bit one true way: that this is how you should do it， because I say so。 That said， there's a lot of useful information in this book。 I personally found RavenWolf's herbal information to be very informative and inclusive。 There were things here that I learned， and the material was explained in such a way that it was easy to understand， even when you don't have the best working knowledge of herbs and plants。 I also found her moon charts and explanations to be really well thought out and detailed。 In addition， I appreciate that her work is cited， so you can research topics further if you so choose。 It gives the book a more scholarly tone。 It's a good book maybe for beginners， because there's a lot of introductions and explanations， sort of like a Witch 101 syllabus。 That said， I still learned some new things， and I'm not a beginner。 So， you may appreciate this book more than I did， even if you're not so new。 I received a copy in exchange for my honest review。 。。。more

Thanks to NetGalley and Llewellyn for allowing me to read this book in advance。 A nice overview of magic in the pagan world for someone of any practicing level， from beginner to advanced。 Nearly every kind of topic is covered here with information and ritual suggestions。 There are recipes for various items and information on all the different types of tools a practitioner may use。 Many correspondences are explained as well throughout the book。

This is a book for those who feel a calling to magick and who are looking to enhance or learn about spell casting。 I found myself taking notes as I read through this book and while it is a Witchy Techniques book it also has some very practical advice。 This is one I would love to own and have on my shelf。 It comes out October 8th
