Editorial Reviews

Divorcing a Real Witch fills a huge gap in the resources that Witches and Pagans have in the areas of family and relationships. This book is not just the story of an individual, but a practical and spiritual companion for what is truly a transformational journey. —David Salisbury, author of The Deep Heart of Witchcraft and Teen Spirit Wicca
