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.

“My very first experience was in asking the cards about a novel I was writing at the time and it wasn’t going anywhere,” says Chelsey Pippin Mizzi in an interview with Lauren Parker. “Up until that point, so much of my writing had been informed by visuals.

In an interview with The Wild Hunt, Brian Cain explains the emphasis of this new book, The Religion of Witchcraft that discusses the practical and religious aspects of the Craft.
