Broth from the Cauldron: A Wisdom Journey Through Everyday Magic

Cerridwen Fallingstar. She Writes, $16.95 trade paper (256p) ISBN 978-1-63152-699-2

Shamanic witch Fallingstar (The Heart of Fire) explores her life of spiritual seeking and magical experiences in this intriguing collection of reflections. Fallingstar presents “silly, simple and profound, and all true” tales that will appeal to practitioners of wicca, who will likely recognize the rituals and tools referred to, though Fallingstar’s anecdotes are tailored for a general audience. She relates her early aptitude for energy reception, psychic abilities, and past-life memories, as well as stories of creating magic circles in the woods and other spellwork. The section covering the psychedelic visions she’s had while on sinsemilla honey is particularly trippy. Fallingstar’s husband and children also play crucial roles in the stories, including many family camping trips where she had spiritual awakenings. Readers into witchcraft will find much to enjoy in this touching and humorous memoir. [em](May) [/em]
