Once upon a time, in a small village nestled deep within a dense and mysterious forest, there was a legend of a formidable witch that stood six feet tall. The villagers referred to her as the "6-foot witch," for her towering presence instilled both fear and awe in their hearts. The 6-foot witch was known to possess extraordinary powers and was rumored to have been banished from a distant kingdom for her dark practices. It was said that she could control the elements, summon spirits from the netherworld, and cast spells that could change the course of one's life. Her long, flowing black hair and piercing green eyes added to her enigmatic allure. Despite the villagers' initial trepidation, they soon realized that appearances could be deceiving.

It explores the many different versions of witchcraft and their core principles practices and shares ancient wisdom made relevant for waking witches, including how to Connect with trust your intuition Use divination tools such as oracle cards, scrying rune reading Cast circles, create altars set sacred space Work with the elements of nature use herbs crystals Discover work with five different aspects of the witch the Force of Nature, the Creatrix, the Healer, the Oracle the Sorceress Rediscover your powers manifest your reality with spell casting. My only criticism aside from the fact it s difficult to take notes on a spell while I m driving , is that the author is a vocal proponent of pussy power.
Despite the villagers' initial trepidation, they soon realized that appearances could be deceiving. Contrary to common belief, the 6-foot witch was not inherently wicked but rather misunderstood. She had been vilified for her differences and feared for her power, which she often used to protect the forest and its inhabitants.

Witch: Unleashed. Untamed. Unapologetic. by Lisa Lister is a tough one to review. Do I agree with her call to feminism? Yes. That we should challenge the patriarchy at every step? Yes. That there's a witch in all of us hiding from her power? Yes.
Do I agree with anything else?
For starters, Witch comes across as horrifyingly transphobic. To disregard trans people because they're not born the right gender is an insult to us all. You can't argue that going through menopause doesn't make you less of a woman, then say trans women don't count.
I'm also displeased with the way the text handles reproduction and the female cycle. For starters, plenty of women don't bleed and ARE STILL WOMEN. Some women need birth control and that's okay too. If you want to write a book about the power of women, you'd better fucking include all women or you're just a hypocrite.
Basically, what I'm saying is that Witch is an exercise in privilege. It assumes (wrongly) you have to have a vagina to be a woman and, therefore, have no right to claim the word "feminist" unless you were born with one. Infuriating. Infuriating and totally false. Honestly, genital-based feminism is every bit as bad as misogyny. My power exists outside of my vagina, thanks, and yours does too.
Oh, and by the way, I fucking hurt when I bleed because I have menorrhagia, not because I haven't accepted the divine female within me. The author's lack of knowledge on - really, complete ignoral of - the medical profession is both uninformed and dangerous.
There's a difference between being unapologetic because you're right and being unapologetic because you're rude - a difference the author clearly understands as much as she understands everything else she wrote about in this waste of a book. The basics are either just not there or are so badly skewed to suit her purpose as to be useless. If this is your introductory book to The Craft, please give us another chance.
The book does look good, though, so there's that. It's got a slick, minimalist cover that looks fab on a shelf. Also, I like the bold statement pages because they break things up. I just wish the stuff in between had more meat. Rage at the machine all you want - but back up your argument. (Something the author doesn't do at all.) You can't just assume, for example, that everyone knows details about the witch hunts. Give them facts. If you don't know the facts or aren't willing to learn them (and source them,) don't bother writing the book.
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.

Over time, the villagers began to acknowledge the witch's benevolence and sought her guidance during times of trouble. She would heal their illnesses with her potent herbal remedies, offer solace to those mourning lost loved ones, and counsel the troubled souls who sought her wisdom. Many even considered her a guardian of the forest, ensuring its safety from hunters and trespassers. As the villagers grew closer to the 6-foot witch, they discovered her true nature. Beneath her imposing exterior, there was a compassionate and kind soul yearning for acceptance. She had endured years of isolation and rejection, but the villagers' acceptance brought her a newfound sense of belonging. With her powers, the witch taught the village children the importance of nature and respect for all living beings. They would gather by the river on a moonlit night to witness her create mesmerizing light displays out of thin air, instilling in them a sense of wonder and curiosity about the world around them. The 6-foot witch's presence not only brought harmony to the village but also protected it from harm. She would use her powers to shield the villagers from calamities such as fierce storms, ensuring their safety and well-being. Her magnanimity and dedication to the village earned her the respect and adoration of all its inhabitants. In the end, the legendary 6-foot witch became a symbol of strength, wisdom, and unity. The villagers, once fearful of her towering presence, came to realize that her extraordinary powers were a gift rather than a curse. They learned to look beyond appearances, embrace their differences, and treat each other with kindness and understanding. The story of the 6-foot witch serves as a reminder to us all that acceptance and compassion can bridge the gap between fear and understanding. It teaches us that there is beauty and strength in diversity, and that sometimes, the most misunderstood individuals can become the greatest sources of inspiration and guidance..
