Like I said, Witch: Unleashed. Untamed. Unapologetic. was difficult to review. I hate slamming another author's work but I can't ignore how harmful this book can be to people who might be picking it up because they need guidance. Because they feel lost. If that's you, please look elsewhere.
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. I always have a non-fiction book or audiobook running in the background, something I listen to on the way to work or pick up as the mood strikes, but I don t usually post those reviews.
They are a haven for those who believe in the possibilities of the supernatural and are looking to add a touch of whimsy to their lives. **These stores** are not your typical retail establishments. They are usually adorned with an air of mystery, with dimly lit interiors and shelves filled with an assortment of wands.

Really enjoyed the conversational tone and mix of explanations on the more dogmatic parts with a general attitude of openness. Made me feel inspired, whether or not I identify with the spirituality.

This. was rough to get through. I was into it for the first couple of pages, but then I got to the part where she talked about how this book would not be for certain people, men and especially trans women. That. was a red flag. But I proceeded, because, genuinely, I had hope for this book. For starters, most witch books I find, have a Wiccan element to them, but this was more of an eclectic practice. She was sure to mention that her way, was not the way, which I both appreciate and respect. but then the vagina monologues started. Look, I'm not ashamed of my body, nor do I take for granted that there is an inherent power in being a woman. But my vag and uterus is not the only thing about me, it is not the only thing (or even the thing) that makes me a woman, and it is insanely inconsiderate to not consider women (all women) who may not have what I have, i.e. a fricken vagina. It stunk heteronormative and transphobic thoughts. This is a serious issue in the Pagan community too, this isn't unheard of, but the fact that it is still a problem now, is ridiculous. You get two points for creativity and honest, at least, but this is not a modern witchcraft book. Plus the history section, of what I could get through before stopping, was not. unbiased. I believe in telling the history of an often ignored perspective, believe me, as an amateur historian, I deeply care about the stories of those who are often forgotten. But come on!
But that's it for me, not much else I can say that hasn't already been said.

I am glad Lisa wrote this book, I am glad that I bought it and I'm glad that I read it.
Parts of it were funny, parts of it reminded me of things I already knew, and others were comforting.
It does not reflect how I feel about gender and sex. Even though some language is inclusive it might not feel good to read if you have a difficult time with the gender binary.
This book is exactly what it sounds like, if you feel curious then maybe you should read it.

So this was definitely not what I expected it to be. While I appreciated some of the humor, it was a bit off the wall. It's not to say I didn't learn anything from the book. It helped me see the disease of Patriarchy running through society and helped me to reclaim myself as a woman. Above and beyond that, though, it just really didn't hold my attention. The only reason I kept reading it is because I bought it and wanted to make sure I finished it.
I loved the author’s raw energy and enthusiasm. I don’t think I would have gotten as much out of it if I’d read it rather than listened to it. She is FIERCE, and passionate, and really reaches out and convinces you that yes, you DO have this power in you. Honestly, this is a great primer for anyone just starting to look into their own power or for women who have been following a path for years. It will get you motivated.
Some stores even go the extra mile to create an atmosphere reminiscent of an ancient apothecary or a medieval wizard's lair. The aim is to transport customers to a realm of fantasy and imagination, where anything is possible. **The wands** themselves are carefully crafted, each uniquely designed and made from a variety of materials. The most common material used is wood, with each type of wood said to possess different magical properties. From the elegant cherry wood to the mystical elder wood, customers can choose a wand that resonates with them and their aspirations. **In addition** to the wands, these stores often stock a range of other magical items, such as potion ingredients, spell books, and enchanted artifacts. Some stores even offer workshops and classes where customers can learn about the history and art of wand-making or explore different magical practices. **Stores specializing in magic wands** offer more than just a retail experience; they offer a sense of wonder and a chance to tap into the realm of the supernatural. Whether you are a true believer in magic or simply captivated by the allure of wands, these stores provide a unique and enchanting experience for all who enter their doors..
Reviews for "Inside the World of Magic Wand Boutiques: A Shopper's Guide"
1. Emily - 2 stars - I visited this store expecting to be blown away by the selection of magic wands, but I was sorely disappointed. The store was cramped and poorly organized, making it difficult to navigate through the narrow aisles. The customer service was lacking as well, with the staff seeming disinterested and unhelpful. The quality of the wands was mediocre at best, with many of them feeling cheaply made. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this store for anyone looking for a quality magic wand shopping experience.
2. Alex - 1 star - I had high hopes for this supposed "specialty" magic wand store, but it fell flat on its promises. The store was significantly smaller than I expected, and the selection of wands was severely limited. Most of the wands on display appeared to be mass-produced and lacked any unique or intricately designed options. The staff seemed disinterested in assisting customers, leaving me feeling ignored and overwhelmed. If you're in the market for a magic wand, I'd suggest looking elsewhere for a more satisfying shopping experience.
3. Samantha - 2 stars - My visit to this store specializing in magic wands was less than magical. The prices of the wands were inflated, and I found similar or even better options online for a fraction of the cost. The staff didn't seem knowledgeable about the products and couldn't provide much information when I asked specific questions about the wands. The store itself was cluttered and lacked ambiance, making it difficult to find a wand that stood out to me. I left feeling underwhelmed by the whole experience and will be sticking to online shopping for my magical needs.
