Praise for Inner Witch
"In this fun feminist guide to witchcraft, Herstik... empowers women to connect with something larger than themselves."--Publishers Weekly

"[Herstik] is here to make you believe in magic... She transforms the often intimidating and arcane subject into an approachable form of self-care that can be practiced by anyone willing to learn. In fact, you could almost swap out 'witch' for 'empowered, liberated woman' and the book would still read seamlessly."--Los Angeles Magazine
