Witchy ✅

POC ✅
I should have loved this book—it’s exactly the kind of thing I usually enjoy. But, unfortunately, it just didn’t resonate with me, and if someone asked me what I remember about it, very little comes to mind.
To be fair, some of the essays are better than others, and they’re all extremely well-written. However, they often felt a bit over the top and lacked believability. It was a quick and easy read, but I find myself struggling to recall the stories even though I’ve just finished them. They simply weren’t memorable.
I don’t want to judge anyone’s spiritual journey or the way they practice their craft; everyone’s rituals are unique, and that’s not the issue for me. My problem is that the stories felt both exaggerated and forgettable at the same time.
I really wanted to enjoy this book, so I’m disappointed that I didn’t.
