Welcome to Litsy!

2/5⭐ Very bloated, repetitive, surface-level text. Appropriates things like chakras, spirit animals, and mojo bags. Cites freaking Silver RavenWolf. Pretends to be general witchcraft when it's clearly Wicca. The projects are mostly very basic. I like the idea of incorporating witchcraft into fibercraft, but this book didn't inspire me or give me any ideas I couldn't figure out on my own with just a moment's thought.

There are shades of Labyrinth in this book, by which I mean the Lady of the Hills and Jareth could both have been played by David Bowie, in my head.

I was sold when this was advertised as a book series similar to the Earth‘s Children series, and it is indeed similar to that though different enough to stand on its own right. Thankful to Kindle Unlimited for allowing me access to the first four books. #currentlyreading

A great deal in information in here. Including some short little biographies of some of the big names in this field

An examination of cunning folk in history, from their heyday to when they began to lose their influence. Cunning folk are practitioners of folk magic, which is different from witchcraft, no pact with the devil is assumed. It's a fascinating and well researched book and a must read for anyone interested in this topic.

To start tomorrow night

February 25th #FeelinTheLove Love Potion @Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

I loved this book growing up, and it definitely encouraged my ongoing love affair with alleys 😂 I hadn't read this one in several years, and it was super fun to revisit. Cleery buys a box of magic at a flea market, and accidentally magics a stuffed crow into being alive - and able to talk - but not able to fly. With an enchantment of being able to find something magical in every new alley she visits that summer, she and her best friend set off ⬇

Got some #bookmail yesterday afternoon. Just browsing the pages and the beautiful illustrations, I know I‘m saving this book for a palette cleanse.

Absolutely enjoyed this this one!
This feels like a classic folk tale, what with Agatha having to take on missions/adventures to win favors from the Fae, intertwined into Agatha's every day life in her sleepy little village.

I truly loved the water colors and character designs. Everything was just a treat to look at. I really enjoyed Hyacinth the most and wouldn't have minded more of them.
