Join us for a magical evening with Zoë Howe, focusing on her latest book release ‘Witchful Thinking: The Wise Woman’s Handbook for Creating a Charmed Life’. With a special performance from the Liverpool singer-songwriter SheBeat.
From stirring your tea to smashing the patriarchy, Witchful Thinking helps you create a charmed life full of magic and inspiration. Featuring spiritual advice and fun, creative techniques for developing that all-important magical mindset, this empowering book takes you on a journey into witchcraft, feminism, and vibrant health. Zoë Howe draws upon the age-old archetype of the ‘cunning woman’ as a guide to connect you to the energies of nature and reveal your inner wise one. Designed for women of all identities, this book warmly encourages you to create your own magic, embrace your body type, and start your personal revolution. Explore the foundational topics of magic, from pentagram power and lunar lore to chakras, crystals, and divination. Enjoy witchy tips from Zoë and a variety of contributors, including Madame Pamita, Lina Yael Schiller, and Laura Keeble. A little witchful thinking is all you need to enchant your life.
