Thanks. Sitting in the shade in a swing and reading. I get to do it a few days a year. Yep look after yourself too. Don't burn and drink beer! be sensible ! ;)
What an exceptional collection! I was scribbling away and had to add a new page to my TBR list 🤣 I’ve just bought the mystical shaman oracle cowritten by Alberto Villoldo and that deck is so powerful, I can’t wait to read more of his work! I especially loved the Norse and Shamanic book recommendations 💜 but I loved seeing all your beautiful cats the most!!
Interesting bookshelf tour... But you skipped one very important book by the goat head in the core, central area of your library... The one I was most interested in... But I guess that one's private... Oh dear... Perhaps some day you will talk about what you've decided to put in your grimoire, maybe many pages of original spell work and recipes... Who knows? Maybe you draw, as well - diagrams, animals, insects, plants, figures of cats. Thanks for the trip to your garden, and the tour of your library!
My "Grimoire" is a bit private to be honest, but also so precious and laborious that I tend to neglect it. I think I should start a different kind of journal.. so yeah, maybe I could open up a bit about it. Thanks
@@TheWitchInTheWoods You're absolutely right... It's more of a private thing than anything else... But your creativity shows through in your videos... One can't help but wonder what concoctions are hidden in those pages!
Thank you. I love looking round bookshelfs too! Yeah Rae Beth is a good author isn't she. Enjoying the Gemma Gary books too, was beginning to read the Devil's Dozen, but decided it was too hot to be summoning the Devil!
Good afternoon, The garden is looking very abundant even though some plants have withered in the heat. You have a beautiful little sanctuary there. Awwww bless the little kitties. They obviously feel very safe and restful at your house so is nice to see them enjoying the garden. I'v fed a few stray cats in my time, always will i guess. Blimey you have a plethora of books there. Some i looked at and thought wowzers that looks a bit heavy going. I'm not a reader never have been so seeing them books looked daunting. lol. What an eclectic array you have. Your life sounds very interesting with living in Cyprus and India. That'll be nice to hear about that some day. Well enjoy this freakish weather we're having. I'm not a fan of hot weather so i'll be indoors. Have a great week and thanks for posting.
Thank you. I'm a bit too much like a kid in a sweetshop to decide which of the books I should actually finish reading! Yeah, the cats are too cute.. especially the Ginger one who can take a pouch out of the box and open it himself if he's hungry. I think that's progress don't you? Well, keep cool, stay safe.. I am avoiding the midday sun.. I'm not that mad! I'll probably be indoors too, and the cats are staying in the shade today, so hope they cope with what's to come. It'll be over by Wednesday! Have a good week too xxx
Yeah, it can be. I think I have mostly weeded the worst of those out over the years, And I try to have small collections on a wide range of subjects.. just to avoid boredom.
I’m currently on a road trip with my daughter (also very hot here where we are) and so spending time in book and esoteric shops to avoid the 40c weather as well! Picked up a fairy tales compilation by Hans Christian Andersen and a handbook of Norse Mythology - both for me ;)Thank you for the lovely video and it has inspired me to keep book shopping! ;)
Oh enjoy book shopping! It's too hot to do anything else. I love the Hans Christian Anderson stories, and also I want the first edition Grimm's collection, which was less censored apparently. Both great resources. Enjoy your trip, and keep cool x
I love your small garden and it's layout. I LOVE the pond, I would like to have a pond but I live in Arizona and the heat would dry it up really fast. I enjoyed Six Ways, Aiden isn't a traditional witch he's more along the lines of a chaos practicioner. I'm reading his third book, Changeling A Book of Qualities, and it's pretty fantastic. I love witchcraft bookshelf tours.
Oh thanks for the tip. I'll look out for it. Yeah my pond is drying up pretty quickly too.. I'll have to refill it from the rainwater butt. Usually there's lots of the stuff. I love looking at people's books always.
@@TheWitchInTheWoods We have 4 koi ponds that range from 150 gallons to 300 gallons and in the spring and summer they evaporate fast. My Dad knows that I don't like them that much anymore because we live in the desert and so we run low on water and here we are with roughly 900 gallons of water just for ponds. Don't get me wrong I LOVE watching the fish, my main God is Poseidon so I like to do it in honor of him but enough has been enough in my opinion. Bookshelf tours are fun.
I hear you, sister. I mostly feel like draping myself somewhere in the shade and doing sweet nothing. I don't know if I have a favorite subject, although I've recently been reading more about folk magic-type things. It all started with a book on Italian Folk Magic, which was a great read. Somehow, that led to numerous recommendations about Hoodoo but I settled on a book about The Magic of Marie Laveau instead, which is also super interesting. My reading list seems to be growing instead of shrinking... one book I wholeheartedly recommend is Intuitive Witchcraft. Your cats certainly are comfy in the garden! Out of our brood of eight, there's one who insists on sleeping outside under the table most days but I wonder if she'll want to come in today. We're expecting temperatures around 35C or more.
Yeah I'd like to research a bit more Italian Witchcraft, and um, also Appalachian Folk Magic interests me a lot. But yes, I've heard of Marie Laveau! and also someone else may have mentioned Intuitive Witchcraft, so I'll look out for that one! I had to cool my cats down with water last night.. they actually thought it was fun.. so I recommend it...chase them with a watering can! We are going to be hot here today..look after yourselves. Wear a hat and stay in the shade. Other than that.. hope you enjoy the warm weather. Will Worksop reach 41 degrees?!! so they reckon...nothing to do but melt with a good book x
@@TheWitchInTheWoods I think you might enjoy "Italian Folk Magic" by Mary-Grace Fahrun then. As much as I poopoo Llewellyn publications these days, the late Raven Grimassi wrote some books on Italian witchcraft that sound like good and useful reading. At least he sounds to me like he knows what he's talking about, coming from that tradition. Rebecca Beyer is a witch in Appalachia and I found her book "Wild Witchcraft" a neat addition to the bookshelf. It's heavy on herbalism.
@@vyvienn Thank you. Great book recommendations! We don't always get to hear about them on this side of the pond..unless its Llewellyn..so I love to hear about them. Wild Witchcraft sounds good.. herbalism is one of my favourite subjects!
@@Traveler13 yes.. I just buy reading glasses in chemist shops now. But in the heat they tend to slowly cook your eyeballs!! so, I don't use them outside!!
You heard the controversy with brooke medicine eagle right supposedly she made alot up I still liked what I read of the book but with the tribe saying shes not one of us it does make me a bit wary but I bought it used so 🤷♀️ you know how it is i always read with a grain of salt and use my critical thinking and such well I try at least 🤣
I didn't know that, no.. thanks for telling me.. a lot of it is new age.. she was talking about feldenkraus?? on a chapter that went on for 100 pages or so.. which is where i got stuck.. the beginning was good! - you having said that makes me think i should not bother finishing it.
Yay! I'm so glad you DID make a video this week! Great to see you again! What a nice surprise. Thank you!
Aw, Thank you. So nice to be missed! So sorry that I nearly did nothing.. but am making time for that now. Thanks for watching xx
Thank you for the enchanting tour around Magickal garden and sharing your inspiring collection of occult books..Magick…keep cool too!
Thanks. Sitting in the shade in a swing and reading. I get to do it a few days a year. Yep look after yourself too. Don't burn and drink beer! be sensible ! ;)
I'm glad that I'm not the only one that collects books but doesn't get round to reading them. ;)
I think it's a common complaint of book hoarders. We intend to set aside six months to read some time in the future!
I'm happy to see we have some books in common.
Really? Which books are they? x
@@TheWitchInTheWoods Trolldom, Norse Mythology and Northern Magic. I study a lot of Norse whitchcraft/volva magic.

Thank you, always on the lookout for new books, it's hard to find books that don't repeat information

Ah, the only time I read is sitting in the sunlight.. my eyes are well dodgy these days. Could be a good chance to get some reading done?
@@TheWitchInTheWoods Pleny of sun today ;-) I have the same problem with my eyes, actually booked in for eye test at last
