Witch Blood Rising: Awaken Your Magic in a Modern World
Description
Asa West spent her childhood chasing visions she did not understand, and Witch Blood Rising is what she made of them. Each chapter takes a different piece of the Craft: the tarot, the deities, spellcasting, the poison path. She writes with warmth and a good deal of humor about a tradition that is both very old and remade in every generation that picks it up.
The through line is inheritance. Not bloodline in the literal sense, but the pull some people feel toward this work and cannot explain, and what to do with it once you stop apologizing for it.
Why We Carry It
It sits between memoir and manual, and it is honest about the parts of witchcraft that are strange rather than smoothing them over.
Who It Is For
Newer witches who want company as much as instruction, and anyone who has felt the pull since childhood without a name for it.
