br3nda 's review for:
The Little Book of Witchcraft
by Astrid Carvel
I found this book on NetGalley and thought I would take a look. It’s a quick read and definitely focused toward beginners but there are better books out there that focus on just witchcraft. This book has a problem with staying in line defining witchcraft and jumps over to the Wiccan focus. To be a witch you do not have to be a Wiccan. Wicca is a religion. Witchcraft is a practice. The author needs to stay away from interchanging the two.
I also found that this book focused on a lot of spell work. There is much more to practicing witchcraft then spells. As well, the definitions of some of the terms are questionable/debatable.
If you are a beginner to witchcraft please do not take this book as the only answer to your questions. Read lots. There are better books out there.
Additional comment on the choice of colour background on some pages. The white letters against the red/blue background is very hard to read. You want the words to stand out, not the colour.
