The Astral Witch: A Complete Guide to Celestial Magic, Your Birth Chart, and the Seven Powers of the Cosmos
For thousands of years, witches have worked by the light of the planets. They timed their spells to the movements of the sky, chose their herbs and metals by planetary rulership, and understood that the cosmos above and the life below were not separate things but one continuous, breathing system. This book brings that tradition fully into the hands of the modern practitioner.
The Astral Witch is a complete guide to working with the seven classical planets: the Sun, the Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn. These are the planets that have anchored Western magical practice since ancient Babylon, the ones whose names we still give to our days of the week, whose energies move through every ritual, every spell, and every turning of the seasonal wheel whether we acknowledge them or not.
This book teaches you to acknowledge them. To understand them. To work with them with genuine skill and depth.

Your natal chart is not a personality test. It is a document showing which planetary energies are strongest in you, where your natural magical gifts lie, and how to build a practice that arises from your authentic nature rather than from a generic template.
