The Real Witches' Kitchen: Spells, Recipes, Oils, Lotions and Potions from the Witches' Hearth by Kate West

Interesting practical ideas for food, beauty, household and more - suitable for non-witches too (like me). Completely aimed at people new to making their own products, I found it helpful in tone and the list of recommended books has definitely given me some further reading ideas.

The Real Witches' Kitchen: Spells, Recipes, Oils, Lotions and Potions from the Witches' Hearth by Kate West

A nice selection of interesting and useful recipies and practical tips, although the style of narrative and presentation feels heavily aimed towards younger readers and the more inexperienced pagans. It would be a great book for those just starting out in the craft, or for people just looking to build up a catalogue of practical ideas outside of ritual and spell work.

The Real Witches' Garden: Spells,Herbs, Plants and Magical Spaces Outdoors by Kate West

This is a nice beginners book which is worth buying if you are new to Paganism and have an interest in gardening. Nicely put together and presented though nothing very in depth or advanced.

The Real Witches' Garden: Spells, Herbs, Plants and Magical Spaces Outdoors by Kate West

An easy to read book, more about the wiccan religion and ceremonies, than actual gardening.
