Modern Witchcraft Giveaway!

It's hard to believe, but my new book, MODERN WITCHCRAFT, has been out for four weeks now!

 

My publisher, St. Martin's Press, was kind enough to send me a few extra ARCs (advanced reader copies) so I'm going to celebrate by giving away FOUR of them to a bunch of lucky winners.

As always, I'd love it if you would help spread the word about the book, or leave a review (at Amazon, Goodreads, B&N, or anywhere else) if you read it and liked it.

Here's what it is about:

Deborah Blake’s Modern Witchcraft is a guidebook to witchcraft as a female-empowering religion, including detailed instructions on how to practice self-care in today’s society through goddess worship and magic.

In a time when most formal religions are on the wane, Wicca is said to be the fastest growing religion in North America. What is it that draws people to Witchcraft, and how does a spiritual path with its roots in ancient beliefs and traditions transform itself into a practice that resonates so deeply with today’s modern woman?

There are a number of explanations for the phenomenon, such as Witchcraft’s connection to the natural world, or acceptance of members regardless of lifestyle choices. For women, however, the greatest appeal may be the worship of a goddess (or goddesses). No stern patriarchal God here. Instead, Wicca and most other forms of modern Witchcraft embrace deity in both the feminine and the masculine. Suddenly, women can look at the divine and see themselves reflected back. In addition, many women are frustrated, frightened, triggered, and down-right furious with the current social and political environment, but feel powerless to create positive change. Witchcraft can give them a sense of personal empowerment.

There are many different Witchcraft paths and a multitude of approaches to its practice. This book will guide the reader on the journey to connecting with the feminine divine both without and within, and open the door to this magical religion that will enlighten, uplift, and energize their lives.

And here are some buy links, in case you SOMEHOW didn't get it yet. (Don't forget, you can also ask your local library to get a copy, or your local Indie bookstore can order it for you.)

Modern Witchcraft ARC Giveaway

As most of you know, I have an exciting new book coming out in July from St. Martin’s Press. Modern Witchcraft: Goddess Empowerment for the Kick-Ass Woman is my first mainstream nonfiction book and I’m hoping that it will help an entirely new audience to discover my books. While also giving my wonderful tried and true readers another book to add to their list of favorites, of course.

I hope you’re all as excited as I am!

Naturally, I am going to celebrate with a giveaway, and because St. Martin’s Press was nice enough to send me a few Advanced Reader Copies (these are usually sent to reviewers well ahead of the book’s release, and therefore haven’t been through the final proofreader process yet—you can expect to find a few typos, and the back cover won’t look the same), I’m going to give away a signed ARC along with a few goodies.

That’s one of my fun witch’s broom pens, and a very cool hematite pyramid to help with grounding and healing.

As usual, all you have to do is fill out the Rafflecopter form at the bottom of the page.

I also wanted to give you some additional news, while we’re at it. I have something big coming next month, and the folks who are signed up for my newsletter (and open it, of course!) will hear about it first. Plus there will also be a SECOND ARC giveaway, for newsletter readers only. The next newsletter will be coming out sometime in March, so make sure you are signed up so you don’t miss out! You can sign up by following the link in the Rafflecopter form, or by filling out the one at the top left of this blog.

All sorts of fabulous things are coming up, including a couple of events I’m going to be at in March. Check out http://www.paganicon.org/ for information on Paganicon and let me know if you’re going to be there! (Hint: I might be bringing a couple of ARCs to that too…)

And thanks as always for your support!
