Once upon a time, in a tiny cottage nestled deep within the enchanted forest, lived a peculiar witch named Agatha. Known among the magical community as the "Thrifty Witch of the Occult," Agatha had developed a reputation for her unconventional approach to practicing witchcraft. Despite her whimsical appearance, with wild silver curls cascading down to her waist, adorned with feathers and sparkly trinkets, Agatha was a master of finding creative and resourceful solutions. She believed that magic didn't have to come with a hefty price tag, and she was determined to prove this to the world. Agatha's cottage was a treasure trove of eclectic and odd objects, collected over the years from yard sales, flea markets, and even dumpsters. Her ability to see the beauty and potential in discarded items was truly remarkable.
I think this is an excellent book for beginners and a useful reference guide if you are more experienced.
It's clear, full of useful information, graphically beautiful.
Highly recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine
Simple spells for every witch Just like the spells Wren is known for online, nearly every spell in the book requires five items or fewer, and all ingredients are easy to source. - covers a wide variety of information, I particularly loved the second chapter which specifically covers how to set up magical areas, provides a list of intentions etc.
Her ability to see the beauty and potential in discarded items was truly remarkable. A chipped teapot found at a thrift store became the vessel for potent love potions. A broken mirror, carefully pieced back together, served as a powerful tool for scrying into the future.

CloseAgatha's talent for repurposing and reimaging ordinary items amplified her magical prowess. Word of Agatha's unique approach spread throughout the mystical realm, attracting curious witches and wizards from far and wide.

She encouraged her students to embrace their own resourcefulness, reminding them that magic was not limited to ancient spells and rare ingredients. By blending modern ideas with age-old traditions, Agatha showed the world that magic was accessible to all. Beyond her frugality and knack for repurposing, Agatha's true power lay in her ability to tap into the energy of the natural world. She would spend hours in the forest, communing with the spirits that dwelled there, and collecting herbs, flowers, and stones for her spells. In her hands, a simple daisy could become a potent charm for manifestation, and a handful of river rocks could be transformed into a protective amulet. Agatha's thrifty approach to witchcraft was not just about saving money, but also about honoring the Earth and living in harmony with nature. She believed that magic was a gift from the universe, and it was her responsibility to use it wisely and responsibly. By utilizing overlooked and forgotten items, Agatha was not only reducing waste but also reminding others of the value and potential in everything around them. In a world where commercialized spells and expensive potions had become the norm, Agatha's thrifty witchcraft offered an alternative. She championed a reconnection with the simplicity and authenticity of ancient magical practices, inspiring others to embrace their own ingenuity and tap into the limitless power of their imaginations. And so, the legend of Agatha, the thrifty witch of the occult, continues to inspire and enchant generations of witches and wizards. Her legacy reminds us that true magic lies not in the price tag of our tools but in the intention and love we infuse into our craft..
Reviews for "Saving Money with Sigils: A Budget Witch's Guide to Symbolic Magic"
1. Sarah - 1/5 stars - I really couldn't get into "Thrifty witch of the occult". The writing was extremely amateurish and the plot was non-existent. The characters were one-dimensional and lacked any depth or development. It felt like the author was trying too hard to be funny, but it just came off as forced and cringeworthy. Overall, it was a disappointing read and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.
2. Jason - 2/5 stars - I was really looking forward to "Thrifty witch of the occult" based on the interesting premise, but unfortunately, it fell flat for me. The pacing was all over the place, with scenes dragging on and then suddenly rushing through important plot points. The dialogue was unnatural and clunky, making it difficult to connect with the characters. Additionally, the humor didn't land for me and felt forced. It had potential, but it ultimately didn't deliver.
3. Emily - 2/5 stars - "Thrifty witch of the occult" lacked depth and originality. The story seemed like a cookie-cutter version of other witch-themed books I've read before. The main character was unrelatable and her actions often felt random and inconsistent. The attempts at humor felt forced and fell flat. The writing style was average, but the overall execution of the story left much to be desired. I was hoping for a captivating and unique read, but unfortunately, this book didn't deliver.
