Welcome to Litsy!

Thank you so much @PaperbackPirate I can't wait to start this book. And thanks @MaleficentBookDragon for another year of hosting #JolabokaflodSwap 🩵❄️🩵

Dive into the world of legends and fairytales with a food focus as you learn about the magical and health properties of foods. I loved this, it was such an interesting and informative read. It was especially fun learning about alewives. #Magic

Well organized with a lot of good information. I‘ve added this to my kitchen as a reference book. There was a big focus on sympathetic magic when it comes to being male and female, which doesn‘t resonate with me but is likely useful for people who it does resonate with. There‘s also a big emphasis on ingredients being organic, so this is just another book that leans into the notion that organic is purest for magic.

My girls are doing the 13 wishes with me for the 1st time this winter solstice.

Thank you so much @KT1432 I love the book choices and the extra goodies. The candle smells amazing 🩵

Had a surprisingly fabulous spot of luck in the book corner of Goodwill. I don‘t usually find this many books but it seemed someone had dropped off many queer reads and witchy books from their collection, as well as authors I‘ve read and enjoyed! Plus an instant pot book that tells me how to use the darn thing 🤭 #BookHaul #UsedBooks

A very interesting account of the Witchcraft Trials. The peer pressure, mass hysteria, and the lure of power those teenage girls experienced and how they convinced whole communities to believe them is amazing AND terrifying.

Finished for #ChildrensClassicRead2025 I‘m sure I read this back in middle school but revisiting it in October was perfect for the season. I meant to reread The Crucible as a companion, but ran out of time. Amazing what havoc a group of young girls started, perpetuated by the patriarchy & resulting in the unnecessary imprisonment, ruin & death of so many. Jackson breaks in down in a way that is accessible to all.

I enjoyed this intimate memoir of one woman finding friends, herself, and witchcraft in 1990s NYC. She learns about history, mythology, the old ways, how to tap into various forgotten but ever present energies. She also learns how the misogyny still playing itself out today has ancient origins.

This was the perfect Halloween read. I also found it quite timely, which made it even spookier.
