A touching and thought-provoking account of how a woman
explored a spectrum of religions—ancient and new—and ended up,
unexpectedly, becoming a bona fide witch—plus a celebration of
modern Wicca and witchcraft, spell books, broomsticks, holiday
recipes and recipes for the changing of the seasons, and much more.
Misty Bell Stiers set out on a spiritual path to find a faith that
worked for her, and accidentally became a witch. She knew the
Bible well, and got to know the Torah and Koran. She studied
Eastern philosophies, even the stories of the Egyptians and Greeks.
Finally, after overcoming an immediate prejudice ("Um, no," she
writes as her initial reaction), she found Wicca. Witch,
Please reveals what makes the mysterious religion of Wicca so
desirable for more than a million Americans. In her witty,
direct, and heartfelt text, Misty explores spirituality,
perseverance, and finding oneself. She shares what Wicca means to
her and what defines her as a witch; what she uses her spell
book, cauldron, and broomstick for; the
significance of Wiccan holidays, many about new beginnings; the
surprising history of Wicca;Â and what kinds of witches there
are. She also shares how in her busy New York City life, as a
mother and a creative director, her faith grounds and
sustains her. Her uplifting, you-too-can-find-what-works-for-you
voice speaks like a best friend: relatable, honest, and
encouraging. This unusual and beautifully written memoir explores
what it's like to be a modern-day witch, and how it's changed
Misty's outlook on life. It's candid, but it's also threaded with
magic and has a warming, lightheartedness to it. Bewitching
original drawings by Misty are throughout, and Misty even shares
ten original recipes for her Wiccan holiday treats (including the
likes of her cinnamon rolls and roasted garlic rosemary bread,
sprinkled with magic and seasoned with love, laughter, and
healing).
