The phrase "Which witch is which" is a play on words that is often used in a humorous or pun-filled context. It plays on the homophones "which" and "witch" to create a phrase that is both catchy and confusing. In its literal interpretation, the phrase could be asking the listener to identify or differentiate between multiple witches. This could be in reference to a story, movie, or other fictional scenario where there are multiple witches present. The phrase implies that it may be difficult to distinguish between the various witches, as they might have similar appearances or abilities. However, the phrase is more commonly used in a figurative sense to express confusion or uncertainty about a situation or decision.
Like I said, Witch: Unleashed. Untamed. Unapologetic. was difficult to review. I hate slamming another author's work but I can't ignore how harmful this book can be to people who might be picking it up because they need guidance. Because they feel lost. If that's you, please look elsewhere.
In this book, third generation hereditary witch Lisa Lister explains the history behind witchcraft, why identifying as a healer in past centuries led women to be burned at the stake, and why the witch is reawakening in women across the world today. I always have a non-fiction book or audiobook running in the background, something I listen to on the way to work or pick up as the mood strikes, but I don t usually post those reviews.
However, the phrase is more commonly used in a figurative sense to express confusion or uncertainty about a situation or decision. It suggests a scenario where there are multiple options or alternatives, and it is difficult to determine which one is the most appropriate or desirable. This could apply to anything from choosing between two job offers, to deciding on a course of action, to selecting an item from a menu.

Really enjoyed the conversational tone and mix of explanations on the more dogmatic parts with a general attitude of openness. Made me feel inspired, whether or not I identify with the spirituality.

This. was rough to get through. I was into it for the first couple of pages, but then I got to the part where she talked about how this book would not be for certain people, men and especially trans women. That. was a red flag. But I proceeded, because, genuinely, I had hope for this book. For starters, most witch books I find, have a Wiccan element to them, but this was more of an eclectic practice. She was sure to mention that her way, was not the way, which I both appreciate and respect. but then the vagina monologues started. Look, I'm not ashamed of my body, nor do I take for granted that there is an inherent power in being a woman. But my vag and uterus is not the only thing about me, it is not the only thing (or even the thing) that makes me a woman, and it is insanely inconsiderate to not consider women (all women) who may not have what I have, i.e. a fricken vagina. It stunk heteronormative and transphobic thoughts. This is a serious issue in the Pagan community too, this isn't unheard of, but the fact that it is still a problem now, is ridiculous. You get two points for creativity and honest, at least, but this is not a modern witchcraft book. Plus the history section, of what I could get through before stopping, was not. unbiased. I believe in telling the history of an often ignored perspective, believe me, as an amateur historian, I deeply care about the stories of those who are often forgotten. But come on!
But that's it for me, not much else I can say that hasn't already been said.

I am glad Lisa wrote this book, I am glad that I bought it and I'm glad that I read it.
Parts of it were funny, parts of it reminded me of things I already knew, and others were comforting.
It does not reflect how I feel about gender and sex. Even though some language is inclusive it might not feel good to read if you have a difficult time with the gender binary.
This book is exactly what it sounds like, if you feel curious then maybe you should read it.

So this was definitely not what I expected it to be. While I appreciated some of the humor, it was a bit off the wall. It's not to say I didn't learn anything from the book. It helped me see the disease of Patriarchy running through society and helped me to reclaim myself as a woman. Above and beyond that, though, it just really didn't hold my attention. The only reason I kept reading it is because I bought it and wanted to make sure I finished it.
I loved the author’s raw energy and enthusiasm. I don’t think I would have gotten as much out of it if I’d read it rather than listened to it. She is FIERCE, and passionate, and really reaches out and convinces you that yes, you DO have this power in you. Honestly, this is a great primer for anyone just starting to look into their own power or for women who have been following a path for years. It will get you motivated.
The phrase highlights the challenge of making a decision when there are multiple similar or competing options. As a pun, the phrase "Which witch is which" underscores the way in which English words can have multiple meanings or interpretations. In this case, the homophones "which" and "witch" are used interchangeably to create confusion and add an element of humor to the phrase. Overall, "Which witch is which" is a playful phrase that incorporates wordplay, confusion, and humor. Whether used literally or figuratively, the phrase draws attention to the complexities of decision-making and the often convoluted nature of English language..
