I'm honestly surprised you didn't hit 100k forever ago with the amount of knowledge and the rich content you share. Here's to 100k more!
My two favortie witchcraft youtubers.:D
Same
@@ericksuarez6771 these 2, Molly Roberts, and Sanctum of the Craft
I love her she’s fantastic and so is ur channel also!
@@ericksuarez6771 Witchnworking & EdgeofNightfall are two of my favorite male Witchcraft CZcams teachers
"...the older books, the 1990's and earlier..." So, the books on my shelves that I bought new. Yep, I've hit crone age. I do enjoy your videos, and take away new info every time. Thank you!
Does anyone else want a class or course with her? Because i do
Yesss
I would love to take a class from her! She’s so knowledgeable and so easy to understand.
I'd like that, too! It would have to be online because I live in the United States and she's in England.
very much yes
Oh yes. Me too! So would love it.
I'm excited to buy a bookshelf for all the books I'm going to get
Sameeeeee
Don't forget to support your local library if you can ✨❤️🤓
💜💜💜
my town is christian XD there are no books in witchcraft. closest thing to spirituality is bibles
I've been going to the library lately but dont like the 👀s, at my book titles. But it's free!
There are Christian witches too. (Also, inter-library loan exists, at least in the US!)
Becca , Only if the library has Pagan/ Witchcraft books in their collection..the local library that's by where I live doesn't have Witchcraft books in their collection
If you like Psychic Witch, you should check out Inner Temple of Witchcraft, the book that inspired Mat Auryn and incidentally the book that introduced me to witchcraft, written by Christopher Penczak. It's an exercise based book like Psychic Witch. It also came out the same year that I began studying witchcraft and I am forever grateful for the foundation that it gave me. And yes, it's technically a "101 book", but even after twenty years I still go back to it in order to brush up on the basics of working with energy and I somehow learn something new every time I read it. It honestly amazes me how that book hasn't become a standard witchcraft 101 book suggestion.
Love Christopher Penczak's books 💚
I'm new so finding good and reputable books on witchcraft has been a bit hard for me. Thank you so much for the suggestion!
I love Christopher Penczak but books. I have take the first 2 years of the temple of witchcraft course online with chirstopher. Which covers inner temple of witchcraft and outer temple of witchcraft both books are foundational.
@@TheVerdantSorcerer So do I. :D
Ooh! Thanks for the suggestion!
As a fellow dyslexic, it is good to know that there are some easier flowing books. I love reading but losing my spot, headaches, and not getting immersed can really ruin the reading experience. Thank you ✨
K 7,I 'm dyscalculeac
So any books on numerology would be a source of annoyance for me
Im currently reading Scott Cunnigham’s “Encyclopedia of Crystal, Gem, and Metal Magic”, it’s been very useful in better understanding working with crystals.
I am following a Wiccan path, and this author is my favorite Wiccan author, but I’d argue it has some very useful info for all kinds of Witches✨🌙
I’m very grateful for this! Your book recommendations are the best, very detailed and in depth enough to get a feel for it. Not to mention I’m drawn to your style of practice as well.
I’ve read a couple of ‘beginner modern witchcraft’ books previously and was left disappointed. So this is wonderful. I had a few of your recommendations already in my ‘to read’ pile, so i’m very excited! I also bought the crooked path just now , couldn’t resist!
Congrats on hitting 100K!!! Thank you for sharing such incredibly informative content. You are absolutely WONDERFUL!
Right in time, I just started learning about witchcraft, you are one of my fave "teacher" in this craft and I'm so happy you did this video. Last week I was doing research about the best books for beginners, but it's very difficult, because finding well writen complex books in my native language (which isn't english, obviously) isn't easy at all...
Thank you so much for this. I'm a little scared and excited for beginning this new chapter in my life. I'm so happy to have found your channel.
For all you out there who are into cosmic witchcraft and astrology - "Astrology, a Cosmic Science" is excellent!!
I've never clicked anything faster! So excited to watch this!
I don't know what made me decide to start my journey in Witchcraft, but I feel like I was randomly awakened a few days ago and have already purchased 14 books since then and finished 2. I can't wait to add a few of these to my queue. Thank you so much! Love your channel.
Girl look at you go! #Devotion! Don't burn yourself out though
Nice
The crooked path is my favorite book so far. I think I gained more from it than any other book I've read. Keldens take on traditional/ folk witchcraft is really good.
Both top books are great!! I read them last year & was impressed. Those of you interested in them, be aware that both (more so psychic witch) are full of exercises. This is great IMO, so you can apply what you're reading. Just FYI. Thanks Hearth! Next should be best academic books/ advanced books. I'm reading Entering Hekate's garden by Cyndi Brannen right now & it's full of info for botanicals related to her. Name, genus, parts used, general properties, spiritual properties, physiological properties, magickal properties, planetary correspondences, elemental correspondences, stones, zodiac sign, world & animal. Then there are workings & recipies. A bit of poetry & prayer in there as well. XX
I just had Sorcerers Secrets in my hand, looking through it, in the store TODAY!!
a book am planning on purchasing in the VERY NEAR FUTURE, I already have 3 of his books, and after flipping through The Sorcerer's Secrets, I liked it, but alas, I was there to pick up gifts for two members of my family, so I passed up purchasing till in the very near future.😀
I've had The Crooked Path since last year, and just fell in love with the author's writing.
It's also nice to see a younger witch sharing beginning witch books that are not the water down versions of what been out the last 13 years.
Awesome selections!!!!
Keldon is a lovely guy. And Gemma, who did the forward, is a darling too.
Do you know them? :)
I am really happy you reviewed these, especially since there has been a lot of recommendations for most of these.
My favorite book was buckland's complete book on witchcraft. One of the first books
You put so much work into this video. I so appreciate all you do for us. Thank you!
I appreciate you so much Hearth! The fact that you go through so much work to make sure we get good, concise and useful information is just amazing! I'm so happy I found you on this platform!
Sooo much appreciation for all the work that went into this video, I've been watching the lives and I know this video was highly anticipated !!
Thank you so much for the recommendations! I can't wait for the intermediate book recommendations. 😍
I love this video. Great information. Just bought the crooked path. Cant wait to start reading it. Thank you 🙂
*immediately adds all books to wish list* 🙈 amazing video as always! I learn SO much from you every time 🌸💕
As usual Hearth great content. Looking forward to your advance book recommendations and must read. I can imagine the amount of time and effort that goes into this, but there's no one out here that does it like you do. You are awesome! I appreciate you. Thank you for your guidance.
So glad you finally read Psychic Witch! I knew you'd like it because as soon as I read it I thought, this is exactly what Hearth keeps talking about 🤣 Crooked Path, and Sorcerer's Secrets are both amazing as well. Modern Magick is on my wishlist and now seeing the size of it, I want it even more 🤣
Love this list!
I'm currently reading/ working through Raymond Buckland's Big Blue Book.
But Psychic Witch is definitely on my tbr pile and now I'll add The Crooked Path too
Thanks for all the research and time you put into this video, Hearth! I've been looking for more witchcraft books that aren't basic or Wicca based. I'm adding Modern Magic and The Crooked Path to my wishlist!
Oh I’m super excited! The have been looking forward to this video since you mentioned your reading a ton of books for it. I’m a beginner and have been wanting to get books but feel lost when I read reviews as to what it best for me. I find that you explain things very thoroughly, honestly & give great advice. I’m sure I’ll be placing an order fir books after your video. Thanks so much for all that you do for us all! 💛📚📖✨
This is LITERALLY what I have been looking for! ☺️ I’ve read all my books I have and have been yearning to find new ones that I can continue to read and learn new things from because I love books. So thank you! This was amazing 🖤
Thank you so much for this video. I was able to find a majority of the ones that interested me on Amazon.
Wow. I do love your choices and your approach! Thanks
Fantastic resource 😃 thank you so much for all your hard work ❤️ I love your channel and highly recommend it to everyone in the Danish witchcraft community 🧙♀️
All of those are excellent recommendations! I learned energy based magick as well. Hehehe thats probably why I enjoy your channel so much! As always, well done Hearth! 💜
Hearth, I just want to thank you for your generosity with your wisdom. As of Imbolc, I've been practicing for a year and you are by far my favorite CZcams witch because of your lengthy and thorough videos. I feel like I've been enrolled in a course and you are the professor. Thank you again. ❤😊
this is exactly what i needed!!! thank you so much!!! ☺️
OMG this is exactly what I've been waiting for! 😱 Thank you so much for sharing these books with us! I've been wanting some of these but just wasn't sure which ones were for me. 🤔🤷♀️ I just put The Crooked Path, Psychic Witch, Besom Stang and Sword, and The Sorcerer's Secrets in my Amazon cart! 🙋♀️ I absolutely love your videos and your style of teaching! 🤩💜💯❗
After watching this video I immediately ordered The crooked path and psychic witch. Thank you so much for these recommendations I’ve been looking for some good books to read and now I have a whole list. Love you Hearth 💜✨
I just found your channel today and I am totally in love. Especially the lenght of your videos is perfect. You take your time to explain everything in detail and that's what I really appreciate. So thank you so much! (:
This is the first video I watch from this channel and it is so informative! Super Thx!!
This is such a useful video. Thank you for sharing!
It's my birthday in a couple of days and found that two of books you recommended were available on Audio Books so Happy Birthday to me!
Advanced happy birthday!!
Happy birthday good for you
Great work again as usual Thanks. Would definitely check on some of those.
Very awesome video! I ordered 4 books you suggested. I really enjoyed your detailed explanations. Will definitely be watching more of your content!!
Awesome video! Incredibly thorough!!
I do so adore your videos and your cute “giggle”☺️✨🔮
Your video was very helpful because you explained and summarized the most important points in each book in a short and concise way!
Love the detale that you give with each book.
Thank you for your in-depth, thoughtful reviews. I’ve already gone to Amazon and put almost all of them in my cart. 🙏😊
I got three of your recommendations! Thank you so much!
Thank you for this well-researched and sensible book list! I appreciate your diligence and explanations of what you liked and didn’t like and, importantly, WHY. Looks like I have a few books to add to my pile!
I just got the the Modern Magick book and I wa am so surprised to see this on your list but happy to see it there as well as the crooked path. Love your videos you give great advice and a lot of information and research into what you are discussing
SiSTAR, your knowledge base is truly incredible !!! My mom gave me a love for books, and my curiosity of everything brings me to wonderful, Magickal places through them. I can’t wait to pick up Psychic Witch and The Crooked Path, and Maybe Modern Magick. Thanks for all you you’ve done for this video. Wow, what a lot of points to remember. I’m so thankful for your gifts and for teaching us how you do your craft. Blessings and much love 💕
Just picked up The Crooked Path and I’m so excited! Thank you for these recommendations ❤
I was really takin' notes through the whole video...thank u for ur recommendations!!
The blooper reel at the end is so entertaining! 😍
Thank you, I really, really enjoyed this video. The information you provide and the way you provide this information is amazing.
Your information is SO HELPFUL! I LOVE your videos. Thank you!!!
Hearth, your videos have been nothing but amazing and helpful and this video is definitely one of the greats. Your views and takes on modern practice are insightful and open my eyes to so many different aspects. On a side note, I found some inexpensive books in a dollar store of sorts (5Below,) in the states and I want to give them a read to see how useful they could be for beginning witches since they’re inexpensive. I wish I had seen your video sooner though! Thank you for all the amazing information, energy and experience you put out into the world!!!
Thank you! I’ve added some books to my wishlist and ordered Psychic Witch because I do very much like your teaching style.
Thanks for all your research! I appreciate your hard work and recommendations. I'll probably go for your two main recommendations not being into too much ceremony. I'm interested in history, but for now, just want to consolidate my own practice ( or I'll get overwhelmed 😄). Thanks ❤ Love & Light xx
I loved this video so gosh darn much and written down Almost ALL of the books you mentioned. I will most definitely be getting them, if and or when I Can. Thankyou Lovely young Lady!
It's up! I'm so excited, I've been looking forward to this video ^u^ Also, love you makeup today Hearth!
I can't thank you enough for this video. I took copious notes. I have a couple of these books. I recently saw The Crooked Path as a new release at our local library and fell absolutely in love with it. It sparked so much inspiration and read so well. The organization of the book was wonderful for me. I purchased it this week so I'm thrilled you recommended it so highly.
I'm a solitary practitioner, just increasing my dedicated commitment to the craft after decades of teaching various divination techniques. Being solitary, I don't have a Coven or High Priestess to turn to and ask questions. So I'm looking forward to following your channel for guidance as I to continue to grow on my personal journey of self development. Thank you for offering your intelligent wisdom in this space. I'm now your new and grateful student.
Very cool HW! I love these book reviews of yours.
I absolutely love the mushroom light you have in the background
Tons of great information. Thank you! Of course, I had to subscribe just based on the outtakes alone -- and before taking into account all the good, solid information in the first 48 minutes!
Don't mind me, just rewatching another great video of yours. Thank you hearth witch!!
Brilliant list! I have a bad habit of continually reading beginner books, without transitioning forward. However, there's a comfort in familiarity. I'm definitely ready to push myself beyond what I'm comfortable with. I did just order The Crooked Path a few months ago, and it's been sitting on my bookcase. I'm excited to pull it out and give it a read. I think it would be fun for you to do a list of books for those of us that have moved past entry level, and are comfortably tucked into our journeys. I've been so busy teaching others entry level information, I would like to have a better grasp on moving forward.
I love your videos you’ve been an amazing source of information for me and I really appreciate all the work you do thank you 🥰💕💚🖤
You just made me ho totally over my monthly book budget! My kind of witch! 😅❤
You're amazing for doing this for us. Thank you so much.
This video came at such a perfect time!!
As someone who also has dislexia, I really appreciate your perspective on the Crooked Path and I’m excited to read it. You also have a wealth of information and perspectives that are crucial for baby witches to become well rounded. Thank you ❤
Thank you for all your hard work and knowledge!!
Congrats on 100k! Thanks for the recommendations
Psychic witch book has been appearing in my mind and sights of bookstores for month. Now that Heath is recommending this....fine! I will get the book.
Thank you! You gave me new books to look into!
This was soooo useful I've seen so many really obvious beginner books in the shops near me I was starting to lose hope. Once again, your advice just straight hits the nail on the head. Thank you so much Hearth ♥️
Just ordered The Crooked Path. It is one of the books I recently looked at and wish listed but now with your review I have ordered.
Thank you for this. I'm new to the practice and I've been floundering around. It can be hard to know where to begin and this gives me a few places to start. I am going through the Amazon samples for the ones on Kindle and it's helping me get a better feel for them before I decide which ones to look for at my local bookstore.
Thank you. very informative and you’ve created a re-beginning place for me.
Great video! The Crooked Path and Psychic Witch were two of my favorite books of 2019/2020! I started my path in the 90’s and I don’t remember any books available on traditional witchcraft so I’ve really enjoyed The Crooked Path. Psychic Witch is the book I wish I’d had back then when I was a new witch.
❤ This was so helpful! I have read the Traditional Witchcraft suggestion and just ordered Psychic Witch and cannot wait to read it! Thank you
Thank you ♎ I can't wait to start ordering my books
Oh my this is just what I needed 😍
Not sure if you'll even see this but I just have to say that I am absolutely loving listening to you. I watched your video in how to know if a source on witchcraft is a good one since I am really feeling pulled toward the path and have for some time on and off. I don't like long videos. But you are so easy to listen to that it's a true pleasure. Having watched only 2 of your videos I can honestly say I am a huge fan and am so excited to watch more content!
I'm a big bookie and I never have enough books so this was just so satisfying and thrilling to watch!! 🖤💜💫
Really enjoy your videos and takes on things!
*furiously writing notes* thanks for the recs!!
You are absolutely my favorite witch!!! I love you’re way of explaining, your guidance, style and attitude!! LOL!!! 😂😂😂 If you ever decide to do an online Witch School coven somewhere along your journey, I’m signing up to be your apprentice! 😁😁😁
lol I think the outro was as much fun as the whole video!!! Love you so much! :D
i was able to find a copy of practical solitary magic the other day!! it was so cool i cant believe i found it. love my local witch shop.
Thank you incredibly much for this post, now you never have to read so many newbies books 😉 I enjoy your posts a lot, your are truly a beautiful person ✨ Love you 🤩 Nothing is wrong with you definitely, you can do this 😁
Just found your channel. Really enjoy the beginner videos. Been wanting to read about witchcraft but didn't know where to start. Have a whole list of books to read/listen to. Thanks!
I watch alot of videos getting to understand other people's opinions but your videos are much more educational and I so far enjoy your videos the most
Loved this ty. And I would like to see a little of how you personally work with energy, what steps you take and any prep you do before your working. ty Hearth, merry meet merry part. :)
I have been binge watching your videos for 3 days now! I love your knowledge and might want to become a witch now. I’ve always had a weird sense of connection with the earth and something else I couldn’t put a name on. When I was younger my grandma thought I was a witch bc I would talk to the ceiling in my room and claimed that they were people that wanted to share things with me or ancestors. I would also make so many potions outside and give them to the sun. Not sure if that was an every kid thing but anyways🤣 I really enjoy ur videos and I am now reconnecting with my younger self/creative mind that I have lost touch with bc of how u have to behave in society growing up. Thank you SOO MUCH for ur videos they help us a lot!❤️❤️
I happily have already purchased "A Crooked Path" but haven't started it yet. I look forward to reading it and I thought I heard Kelden is writing a second book. Guess I should try Besom, Stang & Sword also.
