One of my favourite books

One of my favourite books to date. So informative and intersectional, covering the vast and cross-cultural history of witches into modern day feminist, queer, non-binary witches and witchcraft practices. The writing is fun and accessible. Great read if you're a practicing witch, or interested in the history and modern-day presence of witches and witchcraft.

An engrossing, empowering, and brilliant read

Love this book. SUCH an engrossing, empowering, and brilliant read…Page by page, you’ll tap into your most catty, feral, transgressive self — caught with the delicious story of the cat between your claws.

A magical journey through history

This book is a magical journey through history, tourism, and connecting to past generations in a modern world. I listened to it on Audible, but it is so good that I’m buying a copy to read.

A fiery, feminist deep dive

It's equal parts a history lesson and manifesto, offering a fiery, feminist deep dive into the cultural legacies of witchcraft, slut-shaming, and the fight for sexual liberation. It calls on every woman to own her power unapologetically…If you're ready to challenge old ideas, embrace your own power, and understand the magic of resistance, this one's for you. An absolute must-read.

This book was a homerun!

As a person obsessed with her cat, with interests in feminism and witchcraft, this book was a homerun! My second book from this author and both have been excellent and informative reads. If you're curious on how cats and the cat archetype relate to women, witches and feminism, I highly recommend this book!!

Eve’s forbidden knowledge

This is a super amazing book. Each page blew my mind like I was absorbing Eve's forbidden knowledge from Satan which of course I could not get enough of. Devoured it in one sitting. A quick read as it's short, but so rich & full of intensely delicious tidbits. Essential reading for any feminist hot witch who wants to historically contextualize her practice and know she's not alone on the path.

The right balance of light-hearted and deep

Just the right balance of light-hearted and deep; this one explores a myriad of topics relating to women, cats, feminism and sexuality. A fascinating read.

I absolutely LOVED this book!

I absolutely LOVED this book! Written in a casual style, the author takes you on a journey to some of the most prominent and important places in witch history. You feel like her travel companion through Europe, the United Kingdom and America while learning important historical information about the times that women were being persecuted/executed as witches.
