Kelly just incorporates witchcraft into her life and it has had a significant impact on her. She has always been fascinated by the mystical and the unknown, and after doing extensive research and reflection, she decided to delve deeper into the world of witchcraft. This decision has brought about a sense of empowerment and connection to nature that she had never experienced before. Witchcraft, contrary to popular belief, is not about casting evil spells or causing harm to others. For Kelly, it is a practice that focuses on harnessing the natural energies of the universe and working with them to manifest positive outcomes in her life. She views it as a way to take control of her destiny and tap into her own inner power.
When Ned and his identical twin brother Tam tumble from their raft into a raging, bewitched river, only Ned survives. Villagers are convinced the wrong boy lived. Sure enough, Ned grows up weak and slow, and stays as much as possible within the safe boundaries of his family’s cottage and yard. But when a Bandit King comes to steal the magic that Ned’s mother, a witch, is meant to protect, it's Ned who safeguards the magic and summons the strength to protect his family and community.
But when Áine and Ned s paths cross, can they trust each other long enough to make their way through the treacherous woods and stop the war about to boil over. I was inspired and delighted by the suggestions for things I d never considered -- like incorporating elements or characters from my favorite books, TV series, video games, etc.
She views it as a way to take control of her destiny and tap into her own inner power. One of the main elements of witchcraft that Kelly incorporates into her daily routine is the use of ritual and ceremony. She creates sacred spaces in her home, filled with herbs, crystals, and other magical tools.
Book Review: Rebel Witch by Kelly-Ann Maddox
Rebel Witch is a GREAT book for fledgeling witches! I wish I had started out my witchy journey with this book all those years ago. Maddox takes the reader through all of the expected topics along a witch's journey, so much of it was familiar to me by now, but what I loved was the "rebel" approach to everything! Maddox provides a wealth of GREAT ideas for making your witchcraft practice truly unique and personal to YOU. I was inspired and delighted by the suggestions for things I'd never considered -- like incorporating elements or characters from my favorite books, TV series, video games, etc. into my practice -- in a way that was motivating and inspiring for me (not just trying to use a magic system from a game or something). The "Write It" and "Try It" prompts at the end of each chapter are full of so many ideas that encourage you explore YOUR approach to witchcraft and how you want to incorporate it into your life.
I think my favorite thing about this book is how I came away from each page feeling empowered and comforted. This book allowed me to recognize and shed some of the "shoulds" I had been holding onto regarding my practice that didn't serve me, and helped me to find peace and excitement in pursuing the parts that are meaningful to me. I would highly recommend this book to anyone interested in witchcraft, anyone who wants to explore or embrace their journey as a witch.
book review Kelley April 5, 2021 witchcraft, nonfiction
"Being a witch means living in this world consciously, powerfully, and unapologetically."
By performing rituals and spells, she feels a strong connection to something greater than herself. It provides her with a sense of focus and clarity, helping her to align her intentions with the energy of the universe. Another aspect of witchcraft that Kelly embraces is the belief in the power of the elements. She sees the earth, air, fire, and water as sacred forces that are intimately connected to her own being. By working with these elements, she is able to tap into their energy and incorporate it into her spellwork and rituals. This connection to nature brings her a profound sense of peace and belonging. Incorporating witchcraft into her life has also deepened Kelly's connection to herself and her intuition. By practicing meditation and divination, she has learned to trust her instincts and listen to her inner voice. This has allowed her to make more informed decisions and live a more authentic life. She no longer looks to others for validation or guidance but relies on her own inner wisdom. Kelly's journey into witchcraft has not been without its challenges. Some people in her life have been skeptical or dismissive of her beliefs. However, she has found a supportive community online and has formed deep connections with like-minded individuals. This sense of belonging has further strengthened her commitment to her practice. Overall, incorporating witchcraft into her life has been a transformative experience for Kelly. It has allowed her to tap into her own power, connect with nature, and trust her intuition. It has opened her eyes to the beauty and magic that exist in the world, and has provided her with a sense of purpose and meaning..
