“Beautifully written, funny, engaging, informative, helpful. Not only will you learn your magical name and how to work the crossroads, but you’ll also come away with reliable knowledge of witch gods, saints, history, and mythology. This book is a call to action: tend to the embers of witchcraft burning within you. Enchantment is the fire that can and will transform the world.”—Amanda Yates Garcia, author of Initiated: Memoir of a Witch and host of the Between the Worlds podcast Growing up in an endless sea of California suburbs, Asa West spent her childhood chasing visions she didn’t understand. When she found a guide to witchcraft in a tiny bookshop, she knew she’d found her calling. But it’s not easy to awaken your witch blood in a culture that laughs at magic and renders women powerless. Bringing warmth, humor, and insight to a spiritual path that’s at once immeasurably ancient and continually reborn, Witch Blood Rising explores all the ways that witchcraft bubbles up from the blood of its devotees, from ancient myth to the glittery stories of Hollywood. Asa explores the art of living a witch’s life in all its magical aspects. Witch Blood Rising is a celebration of witchcraft and how it has stubbornly kept itself alive in Western culture—and a call to action for all seekers who yearn for a witch’s life.

“Beautifully written, funny, engaging, informative, helpful. Every baby witch needs this book to rise strong and bring their medicine to a world that needs all the witches it can get. What I love most about this book is the tone. It’s not trying to fit into a formula of witch cosplay and convince people that witches on the internet can defy the laws of physics. Instead, Asa West reminds us of the true law of witchcraft: all life is connected and our magic can help us repair the web. Read this book, and not only will you learn your magical name and how to work the crossroads, but you’ll also come away with reliable knowledge of witch gods, saints, history, and mythology. You’ll learn about tarot, rituals, spells, and how to become intimate with the spirits of the land. Expect Lilith, Taliesin, the Devil, and the Fairy Queen to make an appearance in unexpected ways. Most of all, this book is a call to action: tend to the embers of witchcraft burning within you. Enchantment is the fire that can and will transform the world.”—Amanda Yates Garcia, author of Initiated: Memoir of a Witch and host of the Between the Worlds podcast“Asa West’s meditative guidebook offers comfort, advice, and inspiration for seekers interested in harnessing their magic, connecting with the natural world, and finding beauty in the everyday. Accessible and lyrical, Witch Blood Rising is a nuanced, insightful guide to the practice of witchcraft, focusing specifically on its role in contemporary life.”—Foreword Review
