Why We Love It

“I spend a lot of time thinking about how magic works: Is it legit? Can I make it up? What can I borrow? Is there such a thing as black magic? Can crystals really do that? Luckily, I’m not alone. With sharp insight, warm humor, and a little magic of his own, Fire Lyte invites witch-curious readers on a delightful exploration of not just the what but the why of witchcraft. Packed with pop culture references and approachable tips, The Dabbler's Guide to Witchcraft is a thought-provoking, practical guide for modern witches.”

Raves and Reviews

"Designed for “newbie gardeners” who want to live with greenery but have no idea where to begin, Hinsdale’s guide covers the basics of “plant parenthood” and guides readers with such points as “Who else lives in your home?” and “How much time you want to invest.”...for readers looking to add some lushness to their home, this is a perfect primer." —Publisher's Weekly
