Alan U. Dalul reviews a children’s book based on the Indigenous Mexican folklore around death, dying, and the underworld. “Family unity and peace are perhaps the most relevant topics besides the central themes of grief and death, maybe even more on some pages. Lopez delivers a story that celebrates life and reminds us there is always a light at the end.”
TWH’s Guildmaster, Manny Tejeda y Moreno, reviews a new Warcraft-themed tarot from Insight Editions, which brings the computer game’s characters and lore to the major and minor arcana.

Alan U. Dalul reviews Nathan King’s “Awakening the Witchblood: Embodying the Arte Magical,” a challenging but rewarding introductory book of Witchcraft.
Alan U. Dalul reviews this new book from podcaster Jennie Blonde, which promises information about Witchcraft in a comfortable way tailored to the reader. But while the message is great, Alan writes, the execution is inconsistent, leading to a book that doesn’t seem sure of what it’s trying to be.
