    Hi, first off thank you so much for taking the time to review my book! I appreciate the criticism and the thorough review. I definitely wish I could have expanded a lot more, but unfortunately we were working with a word count that did not allow for more than what is included in my book, so I hope that gives a bit of insight into some of the more vague or shorter sections, I did try to make this as inclusive and mindful as possible and wanted this to be both a beginner and more advanced book as well. With so so many books out there that do go into more depth on certain topic (also the hope that my book would not be the one and only book a practitioner reads), I felt like giving a brief overview was the right choice especially considering that this book is a spell book and not an indepth guide to witchcraft in general. However, the note on salt being toxic to pets is definitely noted and in general I appreciate the feedback so that my writing hopefully will improve with time

      Hi, Thank you for your comment I appreciate it :) I do understand that word counts limit books, that's completely understandable. And trying to balance a book for your target audience must be hard. I'm glad you didn't mind some of my points. Thanks for taking the time to engage with me and for your polite comment. All the best

    Thank you so much for this video! I also like to know the history of such practices as I’m trying to stay away from anything problematic or having to to with Alister Crowley! But I feel like now days creators are so vague about each practice and I don’t want to be misled down the wrong payh

      I'm really glad you found this helpful :) I can understand your caution as well. If you're looking into magic and witchcraft a lot of the modern practices can be traced back to people like him, Gerald Gardner etc and movements from around that time. If you're interested DK's "A history of Magic" is interesting (and I've covered it here) as it goes over the history of magic (more of less chronologically) and also covered quite a wide breadth so it could be an interesting staring point for you (if you are starting out in your research).
      I'm hoping to do more videos in the future and am always up for recommendation for topics :)
