"Expansive and inviting—like fire itself—Fire Magic is a thoroughly enjoyable work that fills a notable gap in contemporary magical literature. Winter's approach is no-nonsense, and her research truly impeccable. Loaded with practical tips, rituals, and fascinating history, Fire Magic has something to offer all readers, whether they're witches, Pagans, pyromancers, or casual explorers curious about the history of magic as a whole."—Thorn Mooney, author of Traditional Wicca
