Description
Book SynopsisPersonalized magick is the most powerful magick. The Untamed Witch empowers you to use your own instincts, intuition, and personal environment in your witchcraft.
Witchcraft is not one defined, arbitrary path. Rather, it is a diversity of practices that you can curate and align with based on your lifestyle and unique gifts.

Why use lavender in a ritual if it isn’t native to your surroundings or you simply don’t like it?
This guide gives you the insight and tools to undomesticate your craft from formulaic—to inspired—practice.
The Untamed Witch also outlines:
- Tools and practices to access the subconscious
- How to work with the life, death, rebirth cycle
- How to use elemental and land witchcraft
- Ancestry work and communicating wi
