Publishers Weekly

04/26/2021

Witch Zakroff (Weave the Liminal) delivers an alluring “metaphysical owner’s manual” that encourages practitioners of witchcraft to “fully embrace our bodies and tap into our personal power.” She organizes the work anatomically—with sections devoted to lungs, heart, bones, and mind—and suggests handcrafted sigils (symbols with magical power) for each, along with ritual and exercise suggestions, and charms for specific actions (such as one to “ward against pollution”). The segment dedicated to lungs includes breathing exercises for interconnectivity and focus, while the bones section features alignment stretches and ancestor magic for structure and stability. More broadly, Zakroff recommends formulating one’s daily intentions while “making your morning brew,” honoring one’s body through gratefulness during showers, observing connections to others in one’s neighborhood during walks, and nightly gratitude meditations. Experienced pagans and newcomers alike should take a look. (June)

"Zakroff guides Witches of all paths in working with the most indispensable tool available to them; the self.
