Synopsis

Whether you’re a hedge witch, electric witch, sea witch or kitchen witch, The Witch’s Altar Book is a beautifully illustrated, all-in-one guide to building and working on your practice. 
 
Explore spells, rituals and tools that will help you weave magick into everyday life. Across three captivating sections – Attraction, Protection and Divination – you’ll find practical guidance for both new and experienced witches. 

Inside you’ll learn how to: 

• Choose crystals, herbs and symbols that align with your goals.  
• Craft spells and potions to attract love, success and protection. 
• Protect your energy at home, travel and work through channelling and visualisations.  
• Explore divination through tarot, oracle cards, pendulums and scrying. 
• Connect with nature and deities using elemental correspondences, lunar timing and ritual journalling. 
• Use practical reference tables on crystals, herbs, symbols and sigils to personalise your craft. 

Written by three contemporary witches across three generations – Nicole Weiss, Rachel Patterson and Lindsay Squire – this is the essential companion for anyone seeking to deepen their connection with magick.

Each section blends ancient wisdom with modern witchcraft, encouraging experimentation and self-expression rather than rigid rules. Stunning photography and an intuitive layout make this a book you’ll reach for again and again, whether you’re casting your first circle or refreshing your altar for the new season. 

Practical and deeply empowering, The Witch’s Altar Book helps witches of every path create a practice that feels authentic and alive. It’s more than a reference guide – it’s a trusted companion for anyone ready to bring magick home.
