Witch: Unleashed. Untamed. Unapologetic.

Product Information

Between each call, visualize a bright white light coming up through the soles of your feet, through your knees and into your womb space. Let it rest there before calling in the next one. A witch is a wise woman, a healer. Yet for so long the word “witch” has had negative connotations. In this book, third generation hereditary witch Lisa Lister explains the history behind witchcraft, why identifying as a healer in past centuries led women to be burned at the stake, and why the witch is reawakening in women across the world today. How to work with herbs, crystals, and power animals so that you have support in your spiritual work.

But I'm going to be honest, I think Witch: Unleashed is a Marmite book. Some will adore it, others will feel it is not inclusive enough. Quite specifically, it is aimed at cisgender women. It is not aimed at men, or at transwomen. That's a controversial area at the moment and I have to say I would put myself in the inclusive witchcraft camp.

I did find Lisa's semi comprehensive information about the lunar cycle useful - and if you wanted to read further about working with the moon I would recommend Yasmin Boland's 'Moonology' This book will help women to remember, reconnect and reclaim the word 'witch' and its power. It explores the many different versions of witchcraft and their core principles and practices, and shares ancient wisdom made relevant for waking witches, including how to:

Witch: Unleashed is a beginner's book, but it is far from a run-of-the-mill Wicca 101 offering. Lisa is a hereditary gypsy witch who believes that all women are witches when they are truly in their power. Her book is as much a call to women to stop being tame and to stop apologising as it is a grimoire of witchy spells and rituals. As publisher Hay House UK says:Discover and work with five different aspects of the witch: the Force of Nature, the Creatrix, the Healer, the Oracle and the Sorceress Just a few weeks ago I met Lisa Lister, the author of Witch: Unleashed. Untamed. Unapologetic, at a bloggers' party being run by the book's publisher, Hay House UK. In fact, the party was partly to launch this new book aimed at women wanting to learn how witchcraft can empower their lives. I was buying into it a little for the first half, but the second half really lost me. Actually the exact point where I was lost was the weird rant against birth control in the form of the pill? Like... I get the author had her own struggles with various uterus derived illnesses but to dismiss how some woman choose to manage their cycle was very tone deaf to me. Probably because I struggled for so long without the pill. I don't think by going off the pill I'll be more powerful for being in touch with my natural cycle, I'll just be crippled by pain. This book will help women to remember, reconnect and reclaim the word 'witch' and its power. It provides an overview of the many different versions of witchcraft and their core principles and practices, and shares ancient wisdom made relevant for waking witches, including how to:

The ideal reader of this book is a natal female, still in her bleeding years, who has an interest in witchcraft, but not a great deal of knowledge or experience. Even better if she's at a place inI host workshops, curated experiences andimmersions worldwide and offer 1-to-1 counsel + support in person andonline via Zoom/Skype. Understand, work with + leverage the cycles + rhythms of nature, your body, the moon, Venus, Chiron, the asteroid goddesses + the cosmos The serious problems I have with the book are the Wild trans misogyny, and only validating women's power through the genitals and reproductive organs. Now I get this could be healing for a lot of cis women, but not at the expense of negating the womanhood of trans women or non-binary, or gender fluid persons. Considering Lisa Lister praises Z Budapest, i shouldn't be too surprised.

Reclaim your inner witch with the magical rituals, divination tools, spells and ancient wisdom in this revolutionary book. All women are witches, and when they connect to source, trust their intuition, and use their magic, they can make medicine to heal themselves and the world. This book is a re-telling of Herstory, an overview of the different schools of witchcraft and the core principles and practices within them. Discover ancient wisdom made relevant for modern witches: The witch is she who looks inward for knowledge, not out. It is she who trusts and respects herself, and she who is whole." La segunda parte no aparece hasta pasadas las 200 páginas. Lo recalco porque realmente es lo que ella está vendiendo. Cuando cogemos el libro y le damos la vuelta para ver qué tiene pone: sabbats, tarot, ciclos de la luna, herramientas, hierbas, cristales, elementos... No obstante, lo cierto es que esta información no aparece, como ya digo, hasta mucho después de una introducción repetitiva y cansina. Que sí, será empoderante, yo no digo que no, ¿pero necesitas 200 páginas para llamarme una y otra vez bruja poderosa o sucedáneos? El caso es que la información de esta segunda parte es bastante extensa (aunque también se puede encontrar en cualquier otro libro de brujería). Si eres una brujita un poco más avanzada, no te estará contando nada nuevo, todo te resultará básico. Eso sí, quiero agradecer que por fin, en este tipo de libros, se resalta el hecho de que hay vida más allá de la Wicca. ¡Bien! Reclaim that which is lost. Fall inwards and away from that which we have been sold and doesn’t serve us. We are women, deep and wise, and Lisa Lister is a woman walking us into this wisdom. I love Lisa. I love everything she writes. I love her voice, her way, her magic. She weaves the truth and busts through the myths so that we can reclaim our true power. Witch is for every women who aches and knows that there is another way.’Practice self-psychology, rhythmic intelligence + personal cosmology daily to ensure strong roots, firm foundations and a nervous system that allows for feelings of safety, self-acceptance + fierce grace to be present + active Now, this is not a rant review!!! There were so many parts I loved and felt! But I liked most was the Witch part of the book, the feminism part was a big fail.
