I’m tinkering away at a new supplemental chapter for the Witches’ Workbook series - Paths! This one will cover lots of umbrella groups of paths, both historical, lineaged, new, and old, from across the world; and hopefully serve as a bit of a phone-book guide to all the paths available to you to learn about. As the workbook is designed for all magic practitioners, some paths will be closed to some people, as it’s my goal to be as comprehensive as possible, in an encyclopedic way!
Do you have any paths you’d definitely like me to cover in this upcoming chapter (The big tradcraft umbrella? Neowicca? Druidry? A specific Grimoire Tradition?) Let me know!
Hi everyone! Five years ago I started THE WITCHES’ WORKBOOK, a book project designed for beginners to start their practical journey into magic, witchcraft, and spellcraft. I’m so happy that it’s been helpful to you all over these years, and wanted to put up a post!
CHAPTER ONE: BEGINNING WITCHCRAFT is an orientation into what witchcraft is and isn’t, common misconceptions, avoiding cultural appropriation, vocab, and other basics.
CHAPTER TWO: ELEMENTS OF WITCHCRAFT goes into all the aspects and fundamental pillars of witchcraft, ritual, spellcraft, and other “witch adjacent” crafts like herbalism and divination.
CHAPTER THREE: ENERGY ESSENTIALS is a guide on how to perceive and manipulate energy, including meditation, grounding and centering, raising energy, charging, and more.
The books are always free, but tips are always appreciated! I hope to continue the project with more volumes as time goes on. Happy 5th Bookiversary to you all! <3
These workbooks are succinct and well put together, the essential ‘beginner’ text that everyone’s been begging for in a modern witchcraft resource!
These workbooks have been a server favourite since they were submitted, so if you haven’t had the chance to read it, now is the time.
Thank you all for the shoutout! <33 The Archives Discord is a fantastic place for resources and texts, so definitely check out the rest of the library while you’re there!
