Book of Shadows: A Modern Woman's Journey into the Wisdom of Witchcraft and the Magic of the Goddess Paperback – May 1, 2019

This is a MUST read for witches, pagans and other magical people, and it is a page turner too. It is gripping, engrossing, and shall I say, it is Spellbinding. I t is a true story about magic and witchcraft, though it reads like a novel, a very good novel.This is a must read for witches and magical folks. I think persons who like Fantasy and Magico-Realismo would love this book too.

I will read again and again. I appreciate how Phyllis wove her magical life with her mundane life and her cynicism with awe. This is how the Goddess works!

Book of Shadows struck a spark in the deepest part of my soul. Although having been raised religious, even to the point of becoming a minister, by the time I entered my early 60’s I had lain most of it aside, having become totally disillusioned with religion. What was left over however was the certain knowledge that religion and spirituality, while sharing some commonality, are two completely different paths and the search for that fulfillment finally led me to look at Wicca. I have read extensively over the past few years but none of the authors touched my soul in the way that this story did; the story of how this agnostic professional woman found the same path that I had come to - but from a completely different direction. I could not put this book down without reading it all. It struck such a chord within my soul that I could not stand the absence of this woman’s story any longer, so I picked it up again. I am now reading it for the second time, taking my time and savoring it, and I am finding things that I never noticed before, things that are speaking to me in a way that is totally new and wonderful. In the same way that she offered thankfulness for friendship and trust at her very first circle, I offer thankfulness for Phyllis and her story. I cannot recommend this book enough. I wish it were required reading for all initiates and seekers. It really is that good.

This book is something else. I wanted to read it all in one day, but it took a week. It is jam packed with information. If earth based religions seem intimidating or a person is off the track of their own faith, this book is great at explaining the possibilities of why a person could be missing it. She has a completely different approach at describing the various differences of faith and how studying through them, one can grasp the idea of really learning to know themselves and understanding the roles of faith in a person's life. You really feel the emotions of the book and the warmth she put into. This book is a memoir style book, but it can be applied to your own life. It's almost like she's teaching you, herself. Be a little open minded.

Curott shares her incredible story of her transition from full time lawyer to a prominent follower of an underappreciated earth centered faith. This biographical stands out from other Paganism books, as it describes the author's personal and spiritual experiences. In place of stated facts about Wicca, Curott engages readers with meaningful underlying messages about femininity, environmental issues, and trusting the power within. Recommended for those interested in spirituality, religion, and similar topics.

I am only on page 37 but I have to say I am hooked. For many years I always felt this was my path but for fear of being ridiculed, I haven't explored the subject as much as I would have liked. Do to recent circumstances in my life, I have found a growing need to really get more information and so far the first 37 pages are so enlightening that I can't wait for the weekend to really hunker down & read! I will follow-up later, once I have read the whole thing.My opinion as of right now: If you think this could be the path you are looking for, get this book!

Book of Shadows: A Modern Woman's Journey into the Wisdom of Witchcraft and the Magic of the Goddess is another book to my collection that is growing each day. I am always looking for new books and have found many here on Amazon!

Would highly recommend.
