About Books

These are my books, the Esoteric Witch series: practical, honest guides to tarot and witchcraft for beginners and returning practitioners. Each one has a free course or guide on this site, so you can try my approach before you buy. They share the same principles as everything on this site: clear history, consent and safety first, and practices you can actually do on an ordinary day.

Where to start

New to tarot? Start with The Novice’s Guide to Tarot. It covers all 78 cards, ten spreads, an honest history and a full chapter on ethics. The free Tarot for Beginners course follows the same path, one short lesson at a time.

New to witchcraft? Start with The Novice’s Guide to Witchcraft. It is the foundation for the rest of the series: history checked against the evidence, intentions you can test, altars, herbs, the moon, spellcraft and ethics.

Short on time? The 5-Minute Witch is everyday witchcraft for overfull lives. Every practice fits in five minutes, setup and cleanup included.

Need privacy? The Closet Witch helps you keep a practice private in shared homes, watchful families and workplaces, without lying about who you are.

Practicing with children? The Magical Child is for parents and caregivers who want to share witchcraft with children, with nature, seasons and crafts, and no flame or smoke in the children’s toolkit.

What every book has in common

  • Beginner friendly. No secret gift, special tools or perfect room required.
  • Honest about results. No guarantees, and other people’s choices stay theirs.
  • Safety and consent first. None of the books replace medical, legal or financial advice.
  • No closed traditions. The practices are modern and clearly labeled as such.

How I write them

Every book starts from the same questions. What can a beginner actually try this week? What does the history really say, and where does a modern practice begin? What could go wrong, and how do we keep people, pets and homes safe? I check claims against sources, and I mark clearly where something is a modern adaptation rather than an ancient rite. You can read more on my about page.

Formats

All five books are available on Amazon as Kindle ebooks and paperbacks, and my tarot and witchcraft guides also come in hardcover. Each book page has links to every format.

Start free

You never need to buy a book to learn here. The School has free courses, and the free Mini-Grimoire gives you printable pages for your own practice. If you would like a personal reading, I offer tarot readings through my Etsy shop.
