Gabriela Herstik: Thank you so much! From my own experience as a witch who grew up in the Deep South without much of a community, who really learned from Books, I knew the things that I wanted to include; things I wish I knew! Also, thanks to my column for Nylon, I have a steady stream of people asking me questions about the craft. I knew I wanted to talk about fashion magick (and share my story with it) both because it’s so important in my own practice and because it’s something I don’t see others addressing in the same way. I knew that my publisher and I agreed that I should include tarot, astrology and crystals. Everything else kind of stemmed from my own practice and what I felt was a well rounded approach to what this practice can look like.
It got more serious when I left for college and started combining my love of fashion and tarot into a series of blog posts for my then - fashion blog that were looks based off the wild unknown tarot cards. An easy-to-follow illustrated guide to crystals that includes photographic identification, detailed descriptions, and information on the individual properties of each crystal including the spiritual, mental and psychological, emotional and physical effects, plus its use in healing.
In the 1990s, Cage's popularity and fame skyrocketed with roles in hit films like "Leaving Las Vegas" (1995), which won him an Academy Award for Best Actor, and "The Rock" (1996). Known for his intense and often unpredictable performances, Cage became a sought-after actor in the industry. Cage's filmography spans a diverse range of genres, including action, drama, comedy, and science fiction.

Reviews for "Nicolas Cage's failed career: a look at his career hits and misses"
1. John - 1/5 stars - I really didn't enjoy "Nicolas Cage Witch" at all. The plot was confusing and lacked any real depth. The acting felt forced and overly dramatic, especially from Nicolas Cage himself. I found myself rolling my eyes at many of the scenes, as they were just too ridiculous and not believable. Overall, I was extremely disappointed with this film and wouldn't recommend it to anyone.
2. Sarah - 2/5 stars - I was really excited to watch "Nicolas Cage Witch" as I'm a fan of Nicolas Cage's work, but I was left feeling underwhelmed. The movie had potential, but the execution fell flat. The story felt disjointed and didn't provide a satisfying conclusion. Additionally, the pacing was off, with slow moments that made the movie drag on. While there were a few eerie scenes, the overall scare factor was lacking. Unfortunately, this film didn't live up to my expectations.
3. Mike - 1/5 stars - "Nicolas Cage Witch" was a complete waste of time for me. The script was poorly written, and the dialogue was cringe-worthy at best. It felt like the filmmakers were trying to create a cult classic, but it came off as pretentious and forced. The acting, including Nicolas Cage's performance, was lackluster and unconvincing. The film lacked any real substance or originality, and I found myself bored throughout the entire duration. I would strongly advise against watching this movie.
4. Emma - 2/5 stars - I had high hopes for "Nicolas Cage Witch" given the positive buzz surrounding it, but unfortunately, it fell short for me. The movie had potential with its interesting premise, but it failed to deliver on its promises. The pacing was slow, and there were unnecessary scenes that felt like filler. The characters were poorly developed, and I struggled to connect with any of them. Overall, I found the film to be underwhelming and forgettable. While it had some redeeming qualities, it ultimately didn't live up to the hype.
