This is a really interesting and diverse series of essays on witchcraft. Picked it up after thoroughly enjoying Tarbuck’s A Spell in the Wild and looking forward to her essay, but without any particular expectations about the rest of the contributors. Yet, this transpires to be an incredible collection of writing. Brilliant, insightful and accessible both for those who practice witchcraft and people with more of a casual interest.
