About this audiobook

From the hearth to the altar, make magic in every moment. Being a Witch isn't limited to casting a spell under the full moon or consecrating a ritual circle. Whether you're calling the Goddess or doing the dishes, your wonderfully witchy ways are woven into everything you do.

With her signature down-to-earth wisdom and warmth, Deborah Blake takes you into the heart of what it means to be a Witch all day, every day. Filled to the brim with practical suggestions, Pagan and Wicca spells, and helpful advice, this essential book brings to light all facets of a modern Witch's life: The seven core beliefs of Witches, mindful eating and health, creating sacred space at home, relationships with non-Pagans, sex and the single Witch, raising Pagan children, solitary and coven practice, Pagan ritual, and green living.

    Multiple reviewers and the author herself have said that this book isn't intended for beginning Witches. I think it would be suitable for them anyway. This simply isn't a book on the techniques of Wicca. If the books that tell you what esbats and sabbata are, what the significance of the four elements is, or how to cast a circle are Wicca 101 books, I'd say this is a Wicca 102 book. The Goddess is in the Details strikes me as a book that gives a context for all those techniques you're learning from the beginners' books. Blake discusses topics on handling crises, living with non-Pagans, and religious prejudice and tolerance—issues that a witch may have to deal with long before becoming proficient at spell-casting. (Conversely, I'd be a bit worried if someone took the time to master all the techniques and theories of Wicca without grappling with the ramifications of "Harm none" or considering the pros and cons of raising their child as a Wiccan).

    That said, I was a little frustrated that this book didn't go deeper into many of these topics. Maybe I'm just craving more 201 books! And the book may not have many surprises for those who've got plenty of life experience; just being alive will expose you to lots of these issues. Still, I really liked the chapter on integrating ritual into your life on a daily, monthly, and yearly basis—life beyond the sabbats, so to speak. Blake has some solid simple rituals that bring out the heart of Wicca without bogging down in the paraphernalia ("How many candles do I need?!"). She also finds ways of integrating Pagan practice with the mundane holidays, which you don't find in most other books on being Pagan. Plus, a 2½-page bibliography at the end helps curious readers find more on the subjects that interested them.
