I love Women who run with the wolves. It’s also a great book to just open a page and read the passage. Great read.
Yeessss!! 😍😍
I love Witch by Lisa Lister. That was one of the books that woke me up and helped me to reconnect and appreciate me as a woman. It is not complicated and I felt her words In my heart.♥️
Amazing episode. Off to buy lots of books now!
Glad you enjoyed it!! ❤

Thank you for a great video! I've now pulled some books off my shelves that I had but never got round to reading, as well as adding a ton of books to my wishlist. 😅 I love Silvia Federici, she also writes a lot about reclaiming the Commons, which I find fascinating.
♥️♥️♥️♥️
I know I’m watching a little late but I love your videos and I just wanted to say thank you so so much for showing the book covers to the books so I could take quick pictures so I can find them later. You all are amazing!!
🥰🥰🥰
HUGE thanks for this episode! This is only the second episode of yours that I’ve listened to, so first I want to say your voices are such a pleasure to listen to and the sounds quality is exquisite - so thank you for those high production values! Now for the books - I love witchy book reviews, and this was the BEST! The three of you brought a wonderful variety of intriguing books, and I loved hearing your different perspectives. I also enjoyed how some of the books segued one into the next, such as Heal the Witch Wound into Caliban and the Witch. (Side note: I was so delighted by all the love you sent Celeste’s way! I was fortunate enough to attend her first retreat in Scotland and I will pinch pennies to go on another! Highly recommend!). I also clapped out loud when the final recommendation was for Braiding Sweetgrass, perhaps the most exquisite book I’ve ever read/listened to. I agree with everything you about it. The author is a scientist and a poet and an indigenous person who is brilliant beyond brilliant. The Audible version is wonderful because of the authors voice and her pronunciation of those beautiful indigenous words. You three are brilliant as well! Thank you!
Awww thank you for the kind words! So glad you enjoyed it! Yesssss, we love Celeste! Thank youuuuuu xxx
Excellent conversation. Adding Caliban and the Witch to my list.
Thanks so much 🙏🏼
So many great book recommendations! Also, love the idea of a dark moon box 🖤
Thank you Sarah! Yesssss, I must make a dark moon box 🌚
the holy wild & heal the witch wound added to my TBR! can't wait - really enjoyed this 😀
Amazing, enjoy! Thanks so much 🙏🏼

I love these videos/ podcasts. I had actually heard of some of these and have them on my "want to read" list, but now that list has gotten longer 😊 ty ladies
Haha sorry about that 😅 thank you lovely xx
Oh my days! Another outstanding podcast ladies! When you read the passage from "Heal The Witch Wound" it made me weep, oh my heart!, so so sad , you don't have to have pms to be affected, I'm post Menopausal and it still hit hard....and on that note I'm now off to fill my basket and build another shelf for my never ending hardly have time to read book collection ❤️
Thank you Veronica! 🫶🏼 I know, it is just so so awful 😢
Oh gosh, I need to build another book shelf too!!! Xxx
❤@@EmbracingMagick
Just discovered you ladies - amazing - and brilliant insights and have downloaded a few of the books mentioned to explore further - Thankyou - blessed be
Awww glad to have you here! Hope you enjoy the books! ❤️
Thank you for such wonderful recommendations!
“The Holy Wild”….this book took me a bit of time to read as well! I had to read sentences over and over. It is extraordinary! So well written. Great recommendation.
Thank you for watching Gina, glad you enjoyed it! xxx
Only just discovered your TH-cam channel and I'm so glad! Looking forward to listening to your previous episodes and subscribed. Also, my bank balance is now seriously worried! lol!
Awww welcome Ellie Hope you enjoy the rest of the episodes so far! ❤
Oh my, sound like somer more great recommendations to add to my ever-growing list. I might have to create an Audible account to listen to some of the entries while I work on other tasks. 🎧
In a way, having the opportunity to analyze the "The Crucible" during high school (and to go to the city of Salem itself as a trip!) was a pivotal point for me to start thinking about "witches" within a historical context rather than being a figure of fairytales. 📖
Interesting! Yes, audible is awesome!! 🙌🏼
I have been wondering about Scottish witchcraft book, it's been sitting in my Amazon cart for quite some time
It’s a gooden!! 🙌🏼
Yes we all have different views !
This is really great episode. I put a few books in my Amazon cart from your recommendations. I would like to recommend "When God Was A Woman" & "When God Was A Black Woman" 2 different writers. The 1st had some dry parts about geography, but it is important to how Goddess worship became God worship. The 2nd address what the first writer left out about the fact that the first Goddess wasn't just a woman, but a black woman and how that was culturally taken away. Both are really interesting. Another one that is magical by accident is "The Power of Positive Thinking" by Norman Vincent Peal. All of the places where he talks about the Abrahamic God you could just replace with Goddess if you like 😆 I read it before my spiritual path widened.
Thank you Cathy and thank you for your recommendations, they all sound really interesting! :) xx
Hello Ladies 🌛🌷,
Congratulations for this Amazing Podcast 💫🌛,
Just discovered your deep and fun podcast, couldn't stop, listened this one and now following your channel 🙏🏼✨🪄🧙🏼♀️💫🌞🌛.
You are beautiful, so nice, profound and love books 📚🪄🔮🧙🏼♀️.
Receive a Warm hug from Portugal 🫂✨🌹🍀🔮💐
Awww thank you so much! Welcome ♥️ so happy you’re enjoying it xx
Thanks for these recs! There are a few I haven't heard of and the ones I have I'm glad you recommended them. I love these kinds of videos :) "The Bones Fall in a Spiral" has been really influential to me this year if you want a book on Necromancy. And I'm currently reading "In the Shadow of 13 Moons"- this is so in depth. It's like doing a course on the Dark Moon and how to use and connect with it. Anything by Jason Miller is great too. xo, Aurora
Oooooh interesting, thank you for sharing! 🫶🏼🖤 deffo going to purchase xxx
Enjoying the discussion and recommendations for many beautiful books, thank you all! With regard to Lisa Lister's book, everyone can and should reclaim their power, absolutely, but her book is specifically about women's experiences and struggles, as women, and we should not have to feel apologetic about exploring and claiming this - that is exactly the point! To recommend that people not purchase the book is an overreach; you have expressed any concerns that you might have, and we can make such judgments and decisions for ourselves.
Thanks for your comment. It is of course everyone’s choice whether they want to buy or not buy it, but our advice is not to buy it because of how exclusionary the language is. Witchcraft is for everyone and we stand with trans witches on their right to reclaim their power too. This podcast is an honest discussion and our listeners are not always going to agree with what we say, and that’s ok. Thanks for taking the time to listen to the podcast, glad you enjoyed the discussion 🙂
I am New.
Welcome 🖤xxx
Thank you for sharing these interesting books with us. I especially feel drawn to the "Scottish witchcraft", because of the mentioned story.
So there are souls that can't leave this planet, because they are not buried well or hadn't had a proper farewell? Did I get this right?
I feel drawn to the idea to help those who are stuck. What is the word I have to search for to inform me more about that? Ancestral witch? And is this also valid for non-human animals that have died painful (I think of slaughterhouses for example).
Sorry for the many questions, but I really have no clue which wording I should use. Thank you 🫶
Absolutely love this! Also, where are your dresses from?!
Thanks so much! They are from Disturbia 🖤
Love it❤❤❤ off topic..steph where did you get your black oval ring from?😂❤
Thank youu!! Its from Clocks and Colours xxx
Do you have a website or shop or run workshops or anything please ?
Yes to all of the above….www.lunarandwild.com

Witch is an excellent book .
..i disagree with your idea that it excludes .it is a book ..and she talks about the female experience ...from a womans perspective..
Im sure the author would
be delighted for any men to read it and draw wisdom from the pages ..
