The Witch's Path by Thorn Mooney is one of those books I definitely wish I had when I was at the beginning of my magical journey, or even during my first two to three years of practice. I think it would have saved me a lot of headaches and prevented me from learning so many crucial lessons about witchcraft and personal magical development "the hard way."


The Witch's Path by Thorn Mooney: Book Review

This work offers a very personal, almost intimate outlook on magical practice that primarily feels like a friend sharing their experience and advice on overcoming the most common hurdles in witchcraft.


The Witch's Path is especially valuable for practitioners who feel stuck with their magic, uninspired, or disillusioned by various esoteric groups and communities.


Mooney provides excellent guidance on reconnecting with your altar, yourself, and your magical journey. The book offers practical solutions for finding balance between everyday life and spiritual practice while keeping your magical inspiration flowing.


I absolutely loved the openness of this book and its refreshing honesty—two qualities that often come in short supply within esoteric circles. Reading it feels more like having a heart-to-heart conversation with a witch friend, sharing doubts, fears, tips, and practical ideas about the craft.


Thorn Mooney offers a genuinely candid look at the "backstage" of private magical practice, revealing aspects that typically remain hidden from the view of others.


Here's my edited version of the quote:


I would say this book is beginner-friendly, as it doesn't discuss anything beyond the grasp of a starting witch. However, those who will benefit most are practitioners who have been on the path for some time and have experienced challenges like self-doubt and feeling disconnected from their practice. These are precisely the topics Thorn Mooney addresses extensively throughout the book, allowing more experienced readers to deeply relate to the content and find genuine solutions to their magical roadblocks.

I wholeheartedly recommend "The Witch's Path" for solitary practitioners who miss having that one special witch friend they could confide in about their magical practice. This book is particularly valuable for those who have encountered roadblocks on their journey and are seeking practical solutions to move forward in their craft with renewed purpose and clarity.
