After almost two years of research, experimentation, writing, and community feedback, I’m so excited to announce my first book! The ebook is available for preorder now on Amazon, and paperback and hardcover versions will be available on April 16th, 2022 (the Pink Moon/full moon in Libra).

My goal for this project was to create a simply-written, easy-to-read introduction to witchcraft that was truly accessible to all people regardless of gender, sexuality, race, culture, ability, religion, and income level. I’ve also tried to avoid the consumerism and pseudoscience that seems to dominate a lot of “Witchcraft 101″ books and to be as transparent as possible about my sources. This book isn’t meant to teach you how I do magic — it’s meant to give you the tools you need to build your own magical practice.

Witchcraft for Everyone is basically a revised, revamped, and expanded version of my “Baby Witch Bootcamp” series. It includes a basic guide to magical theory, creating your own spells, strengthening your psychic senses, connecting with spirits, and more! 

FAQ

Isn’t this just recycling content from your blog?

Yes and no. It’s true that “Baby Witch Bootcamp” provided the basis for Witchcraft for Everyone, so a lot of the content will be familiar to readers of this blog. However, the book has been revised multiple times, and the end result has more depth and nuance as a result. There’s also an all-new Book of Shadows portion containing some of my favorite spells, which is 100% original to the book. 

If I’ve already read all of “Baby Witch Bootcamp,” why should I buy your book?

You should buy the book if: 

1. You’d like to have all of the information gathered in one place, instead of in 35+ blog posts.

2. You want a physical book to work with. 

3. You want to read an updated version of BWB that reflects 2+ years of growth, experience, and further research, including intensive work on decolonizing my spiritual practice and divorcing spirituality from capitalism and consumerism.

4. You want a copy of my personal Book of Shadows.

5. You like me and would like to support my efforts.

Are you going to delete BWB?

Nope! It is and always will be a free resource.

How much does it cost? 

The ebook is $4.99 USD. When they’re released, the paperback will be $12.99 and the hardcover will be $19.99. I’ve genuinely tried to make this book as affordable as possible while still getting SOME royalties lol. 

Is there any way I can get a free copy? 

YES! I am currently looking for reviewers. Please email samwiseauthor@gmail.com if you are interested in receiving a free paperback proof copy or PDF proof in exchange for an honest review. (Physical copies are limited, and I’ll be sending them out on a first-come, first-serve basis. I am also only able to ship to people in the continental United States, but I’m happy to send digital proofs to international readers!) 

Honestly, this book would not have happened without the witchcraft/pagan community here online, and I’m eternally grateful to you all. ❤ Now if you’ll pardon just a little begging: 

I am am a queer, neurodivergent, chronically ill witch and pagan, and while I genuinely believe in creating free resources to keep witchcraft accessible, existing in a capitalist hellscape means I do need money to survive. Book purchases are greatly appreciated, as is reblogging to help spread the word!
