Red-Haired Ash: 4 stars - It was really good
Witchery: Embrace the Witch Within was a wonderfully written and informative beginners book for witches. It covers the basics of magic, creating books of shadows and grimoires, ancestor magic, some beginner spells, and some ethical issues with practicing witchcraft.
Diaz has a wonderful style of writing that is beautifully prosaic but also very easy to follow and understand. She easily breaks down the basics of witchcraft but also teaches valuable lessons about the importance of self-love and practice. Her section about harnessing ancestor magic was very helpful for me because I have little knowledge about this type of practice. She easily broke it down and provided simple and easier to follow ways to commune with my ancestors.
Diaz provides a wide variety of beginner spells to practice to get your practice started. But I think it's important to know that some ingredients were not exactly beginner, or in the closet, friendly because they were not items that would be already in your spice cabinet or easily found at a local grocer, especially if you live out in a more rural area.
Overall, this was a very good beginner book. I...

Kristy R. Morrison: This review is long overdue, and I guess writing this over two years after I purchased this very necessary book speaks to its value and relevance for any practicing witch.
"Witchery: Embrace the Witch Within" answered my needs within its very title, when it found me at a time I finally decided to submerge both of my feet into a choice I always feared, for fear of my own struggles with darkness and depression. Thanks to Juliet Diaz's simple but still profound set of guidelines in this book, I had a kind of "flashlight" through my personal journey. Not only does Diaz's pages "normalize" what is branded as "dangerous," she manages to offer specific experience, ancestral history, and a humble open mindedness that gives this ancient mystical blessing back to the Divine Feminine, back to good old fashioned personal empowerment, where witchcraft belongs. With the moon at my side, I left this book feeling safe, confident, and inspired to grow as a witch.
Even still, I return to this book for guidance or comfort, and if I had to pick 5 essential texts for any lightworker or practicing witch, "Witchery" would be of that collection. Diaz's expertise, her specific but also broad...

Rota do autoconhecimento: This book is small and cute, but the content is just what I could expect: well organized, encouraging, and informative. It brings everything one shoud know to take the first steps in witchery. It does include examples of spells - baths, teas, oils, sprays, rituals - but not many; in my opinion, just enough. The emphasys is on personal preparation: learning to understand the craft, dealing with energy, grounding, mental focus, confidence, etc. There is a section about how to elaborate your own spells and a beautiful final chapter on caring for the planet and ethics in witchery, besides information for you to continue on your journey. I like Juliet's respect and reverence for nature and the overall tone she uses: it is warm and welcoming, and yet she makes everything sound important and serious. I am glad I purchased this book, and it will help me help others.

Delilah: This is a good start for anyone interested in Witchcraft. The author touches on a few different aspects but she appears to focused a lot on spells. Most of the spells seem useable but she does ask for ingredients that are something hard to find (that's why I didn't give it 5 stars). It's a good beginning guide and addresses things like Seasons of the Witch, moon cycles, ancestral altars, and manifesting energy. I also like she included a section about how to practice without cultural appropriation and I haven't seen that in as many places.

Kirby-Leigh: So.. I have been in tune with this part of myself from a very young age and I have recently (in the last 2 years or so) really been focusing on it and I have come to see myself as the Witch I am. I searched for all the books I could and came across this one -- so I bought it and truly fell in love. Juliet's words are truly magic, and from this one book I have been welcomed into a community of brilliant witches and I cannot thank Juliet enough for helping me find my path clear than I had before and for welcoming me into her community.
This book is so well written and so informative and it's words are from the heart and from true knowledge of the subjects. I would highly recommend anyone to read this book -- whether you're trying to hone your craft or you're a well versed Witch looking for fresh new ideas this book will absolutely blow your mind and bring the magic you need into your life.
Thank you, Juliet for sharing your incredible magic and your kind heart.

J.M.Z: I bought this book after meeting Juliet, at a time in my life when I was making good, intentional, coached progress in recovery from codependency, relationship abuse, drug misuse, and self-loathing. But I was still missing some critical piece to healing myself and restoring the connection to the Earth that I had thrived on since childhood. The moment I recieved this book I felt the need to hug it, and as I did so I began to weep. Loving energy poured out from the book to embrace and hold me as I let myself experience the impact of the loneliness and disconnect I had been living with for years, out of touch with our Mother Earth and myself, scared to step out onto the uncertain path of self-discovery, frightened of what I might find there. After a moment of embracing the book and being enveloped in its energy I felt a sense of peace, od freedom, and the hope that comes with them: I knew I was not alone and I had the courage to ask the questions, even if I feared the answers. I opened the book and began my journey. Through Juliet's writings I have reconnected with my spirit guides, my ancestors who I thought had been lost to me through neglecting my relationship with them but who, I...
