Review Quotes

"I love this book! The Dabbler's Guide is a fantastic introduction for folks new to the world of witchcraft as it is right now. There are many missteps one can make when first entering the witchy/Pagan world. Without a friend to guide you, there's just no reason why you would know about many of them. If you're in search of a spooky, scary, edgier-than-thou grimoire, this isn't it. If you are looking for a sharp, funny, and engaging friend to walk you through some first steps while you decide if you want to dive in or only get your toes wet in the ways of the witch, let Fire Lyte be your guide. Did I mention I love this book?" -Aidan Wachter, author of Six Ways: Approaches & Entries for Practical Magic and Weaving Fate: Hypersigils, Changing the Past & Telling True Lies
