What is witchcraft, the Old Way? A profound respect for your own
self and an understanding of the many secret passageways of your
mind. A profound respect for others, and their sometimes
inexplicable behaviour. A profound respect for nature. The scents,
sounds, sights and changing rhythms of the natural world.
Reconnecting with the Spirit World within and without in ways
understood by our ancestors. This is a sound introduction to simple
magical practices that have become increasingly popular as new
generations rediscover the truth of the Old Ways. You will be
helped along the first steps of the magical path until you are
ready to write your own first Book of Shadows. 'A superb
introduction to witchcraft. Simple, straightforward and with a
touch of magic' Tyna Redpath, The Goddess and The Green Man,

Sometimes all you need is a pinch of magic... Eva Evergreen is
determined to earn the rank of Adept Witch before she turns
thirteen years old. If she doesn't, she'll lose her magic forever.
For most young witches and wizards, it's a simple enough test: ONE:
Help your town, do good all around. TWO: Live there for one moon,
don't leave too soon. THREE: Fly home by broomstick, the easiest of
tricks. The only problem? Eva only has a pinch of magic. She
summons heads of cabbage instead of flowers and gets a sunburn
instead of calling down rain. And to add insult to injury, whenever
she overuses her magic, she falls asleep. When she lands on the
tranquil coastal town of Auteri, the residents expect a powerful
witch, not a semi-magical girl. So Eva comes up with a plan: set up
a magical repair shop to aid Auteri and prove she's worthy. She may
have more blood than magic, but her "semi-magical fixes" repair the
lives of the townspeople in ways they never could have imagined.
Only, Eva's bit of magic may not be enough when the biggest magical
storm in history threatens the town she's grown to love. Eva must
conjure up all of the magic, bravery, and cleverness she can muster
or Auteri and her dreams of becoming a witch will wash away with
the storm.

Macbeth will rule, so ghosts, treason and blood are bound to

What do you get if you mix together two best friends, a witch's
curse and a haunted house? A spell-binding mystery from acclaimed
performer and bestselling author Carrie Hope Fletcher - star of
Andrew Lloyd Webber's Cinderella. They say children who are born on
Friday 13th are immune to evil spirits. Whilst Ivy and Maggie liked
to believe that was true, it didn't stop them checking for monsters
under their bed each and every night. Ivy and Maggie have been best
friends ever since they were born at exactly the same minute twelve
years earlier. They're always on the look-out for a new adventure
but unfortunately Crowood Peak is officially the most boring town
in the world. Or at least it was until children start to
mysteriously disappear and, even stranger, none of the grown-ups
seem to have noticed . . . It's up to the Double Trouble Society to
work out what's going on. All the evidence points to the old
mansion next door with strange green lights in the windows and a
new owner who looks suspiciously like a witch! Can Ivy and Maggie
solve the mystery of Hokum House and rescue their friends or will
they be next on the witch's list of victims?

The tyrannous Huntsmen have declared everyone in one village to be
outlaws, since they insist on supporting the magical beings of
neighbouring Darkwood. Why won't they accept that magic is an
abomination? Far from being abominable, the residents of Darkwood
are actually very nice when you get to know them, even Snow the
White Knight, who can get a bit tetchy when people remind her she's
a Princess. In order to stop the Huntsmen from wiping out all
magical beings, Snow and her friends have to venture into the
Badlands of Ashtrie, and seek the support of the Glass Witch - but
she has plans of her own, and let's just say they're not good ones.
The first book in the Latinx-infused Queer fantasy series from highly acclaimed author Zoraida Córdova that follows three sisters―and teen witches―as they develop their powers and battle magic through epic questing in the realms beyond.
Alex is a bruja and the most powerful witch in her family. But she's hated magic ever since it made her father disappear into thin air. So while most girls celebrate their Quinceañera, Alex prepares for her Deathday―the most important day in a bruja's life and her only opportunity to rid herself of magic.
But the curse she performs during the ceremony backfires, and her family vanishes, forcing Alex to absorb all of the magic from her family line. Left alone, Alex seeks help from Nova, a brujo with ambitions of his own.
To get her family back they must travel to Los Lagos, a land in-between, as dark as Limbo and as strange as Wonderland. And while she's there, what she discovers about herself, her powers, and her family, will change everything...
Three sisters. One spell. Countless dead.
Lula Mortiz feels like an outsider. Her sister's newfound Encantrix powers have wounded her in ways that Lula's bruja healing powers can't fix, and she longs for the comfort her family once brought her. Thank the Deos for Maks, her sweet, steady boyfriend who sees the beauty within her and brings light to her life.
Then a bus crash turns Lula's world upside down. Her classmates are all dead, including Maks. But Lula was born to heal, to fix. She can bring Maks back, even if it means seeking help from her sisters and defying Death herself. But magic that defies the laws of the deos is dangerous. Unpredictable. And when the dust settles, Maks isn't the only one who's been brought back...
