Publisher Description
Embodied Witchcraft for Wisdom, Connection & Power
This book is a guide to the most magical tool in your possession—your body. Not just your physical flesh-and-blood body, but also your symbolic Witch body, the conduit for bringing the material and metaphysical worlds together. Within these pages, you will explore hands-on magical practices, exercises, and sigils related to your Witch Lungs, Heart, Bones, Mind, and the spiraling path of your inner Serpent.
Magic flows most freely when you are in tune with your intuition and the power of your true self. Through dozens of activities, prompts, spells, and rituals, Anatomy of a Witch helps you connect with the seen and unseen worlds, your ancestors, and your living community. Discover the profound correspondences between your body, the mythos of tarot, and the five elements. Practice rituals and activities for protection, warding, rebalancing your home, and embracing your body, despite the limiting beliefs that society foists upon us. This book teaches you how to tap into your personal power as you make a pilgrimage to the inner workings of your true self.
Includes a foreword by Christopher Penczak, bestselling author of The Temple of Witchcraft series
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
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.
