[@mileneortiz3853]

Yes she's an amazing soul and my heart hurts for her, thank you for spreading this news. We have to take care of ours moon sister. Love ur videos as well!!! Ur right up there with the ladygravedancer haha amazing strong woman 💙🖤

[@Owlvine]

It's such a terribly sad thing. Absolutely, and I'm so glad LGD is leading the charge on this one. Thank you lovely, you're so sweet! Sending lots of love your way xox

[@dorotheamcnally4836]

My heart breaks for Trena, thank you for letting us know. I have watched Sunshine Morning Rae for years.

[@Owlvine]

There are no words 💜 She's an amazing lady and this is just so awful xo

[@LidiaRandomLife]

Thanks for bringing awareness to someone in need. Hope she gets the help she need. Also thank you for sharing good reads with us. And Most importantly thank you for actually holding the books Up long enough for us to actually she the covers.Very helpful

[@zelandkorth2639]

I have read "Rebel Witch" by Kelly-Ann Maddox cover to cover twice already to do the abundance of exercises in it and it has created so many pages of notes. I also love to recommend "The Heart of Understanding" by Thich Nhat Hanh and "Earth Magic" by Scott Cunningham. Both are fairly short but so impactful in my practice.

[@dreacero9116]

I hadn't heard of the woman you mentioned but I will follow the link. Thank you for that info. I also hadn't heard of the books you mentioned. I'll be looking into those as well. The best book I've read in a long while is American Brujería. I've long since left my Catholic roots in the past but there was a ton of stuff, practices, that came down my mom's maternal side. I'm on the hunt for a good herbal book. Lately, Cunningham's Encyclopedia is leaving a lot to be desired, especially now that I'm growing my own stuff. Such is life, right? Be well and I hope you have a fabulous weekend! ❤

[@Owlvine]

You're welcome love 💜 Ooh I've got America Brujeria on my wish list, thank you for letting me know! I hear you girl. Thank you lovely, I hope you have a marvellous weekend too xox

[@irishcladdagh3]

Thank you for sharing the news on Sunshine...on facebook & KZbin there is plenty of info...I wish this gathering was under different circumstances but this is a wonderful community that has eachothers back no matter the distance....Hope to see you all at the fundraiser 💜

[@Owlvine]

Absolutely, it's a heart breaking reason, but amazing that there is this kind of support out there 💜 Sending lots of love to you beautiful xox

[@amberl3305]

Books are the biggest part of my practice. I keep learning and learning more! I'll definitely try to check out the fundraiser. Thank you for mentioning it.

[@meadowsandmountain]

"The Holy Wild" by Danielle Dulsky has been life chaning for me. 😍

[@Owlvine]

Ooh awesome, thank you! xox

[@jjnelsonnc]

Hey Owlvine, loved your vlog, thanks so much for sharing, xxxxooooo jack

[@melodymulder6483]

The most important book I've read in my practice is "The Heart of the Buddha's Teaching" by Thich Nhat Hanh. It was recommended to me by another witch, and it's been an integral part of my healing journey and provided a strong basis for a lot of the things I do! Although it's not necessarily a witchy book, everyone can find deep wisdom from it. So much food for thought regarding meditation and grounding practices, too. I think a lot of practices share so many integral qualities, and Thich's writing and advice can have such a strengthening effect on anyone's particular practice, whatever brand it may be. 🦋

[@beanbaghagwag]

Goddess bless her. She is definitely OG. Thank you for sharing that message. I've been watching this tragedy unfold on Facebook and its heartbreaking. Will certainly show up for the fundraiser.

[@Owlvine]

It's so awful. It's nice to be able to do a little something for her xo

[@lostsoulforever18218]

Currently reading "Hekate Godess of Witches" by Courtney Weber and "Crossroads Witchcraft: The Ingredients" by Taren S. I'm waiting on "Utterly Wicked " by Dorothy Morrison and "Of Blood and Bones" by Kate Freuler. I've got my reading for a short while! Great video

[@michaelgeisenheimer7562]

I love Hekate she is my all

[@robertbradley8309]

Prayers (from whatever source) for Sunshine Morning Rae and family!!!

[@italianlauren84]

Weave the Liminal by Laura Tempest Zakroff. I love her writing style.

[@awenwaters8870]

LOVE LOVE LOVE that book!!!

[@jolovesblackcats]

Aloha Owlvine, I hope you & your family & friends are well? I'm in the process of watching ALL of your video's & I was watching one from 2017, you mention you would like some dirt from Scotland! I live in Dumfries & Galloway, not far from Lockerbie where the plane crashed. I would love to help you fulfil that mission! Love your outlook and you have taught me so much so thank you for that. Bless to thee well doll. XXX

[@M155ABYSS]

Honestly the books that have contributed the most to my practice are not witchcraft books. Women Who Run with the Wolves, Goddesses in Everywoman and The Work (by Byron Katie) come into mind. All three kind of are about alchemy to me. Also Jungian studies have really helped me understand the language and energy of symbols which has helped me in spellcrafting, dream interpretation, animal messages and the shamanic aspect of witchcraft.

[@andrewcraig11781]

The Witch Compass by Ian Chambers is apparently really good as well. Haven’t read it, but comes highly recommended.

[@mount-of-olives]

Your candle flame is moving, is that something you recognise as significant in your practice? Often spirit get my attention by moving a still flame... Love and brightest blessings to all 🙏🏻✨💛

[@Owlvine]

It depends, often there's just draft moving through this room! 😁 But certainly I think spirit communicates through dancing, moving flames! Sending lots of love and blessings to you xoxo

[@amelie.r.michiru]

Just wanted to pop in to say that I'm really happy to see you posting again! (Yes, I'm late to the party) I find your videos really soothing and interesting and they're always a pleasure to watch, so thanks 🥰

[@DaniellaJo]

I am soo sorry to hear that. I believe so much is the subconscious mind. People have healed uncurbable diseases. Sending all the positive and healing energies much love

[@steveelic3833]

Mandatory books necessary for practical traditional Goetic witchcraft and Magic within my coven (and they are amazing books!)--> 1. Mastering Witchcraft, Paul Huson. Amazing, detailed. Intense. Powerful. 2. Initiation into Hermetics, Franz Bardon. Wow. Just wow. 3. The Witches Bible. Janet/Stewart Farrar. Beautiful and powerful rituals. 4. Traditional Witchcraft; Gemma Gary. Her other books--> “the devils dozen”, and “the black toad”, are amazing. 5. Working Conjure, Sen Moise. Excellent book on Conjure-> but this one does use the Psalms quite a lot. I can also add that Josephine McCarthys 3 Quareia books on Magic are excellent, but VERY detailed. (Can take up to 7 years to complete- only for the serious student). 6. Quareia : Apprentice; Initiate ; Adept.

[@Owlvine]

Awesome, thanks for your suggestions Steve!

[@issy8679]

hearing rhiannon just makes me so happy

[@Owlvine]

Me too! 💜

[@palmskrymme]

Hello!! Book hack>>>>>> In positive Magick by Marianne Weinstein, she says you call in all the elements in order to create a space where all the elements are *one*, with you sitting in the center, and it pulls you into the mindset where "all time is now , all space is here." We can do the same thing with the directions

[@carla6767]

I have been looking for a book about spellcasting! Thank you for the recommendations. Have you read Women Who Run with Wolves? It helped me a lot.

[@M155ABYSS]

Same here! It’s my bible.

[@awkwardgenxer1023]

Thanks for this video. I agree about reading above your level. I really respect teachers who research their intuitive practices before teaching them. So glad there are teachers like you who do that.

[@Owlvine]

Thank you lovely 😊 Being an educated educator is important! Otherwise we all end up with our head lost in the clouds. Many blessings xox

[@sashasg11]

Thank you owlvine your an earth angel witch so grateful ive found and got your channell ... bless it be 😇💗🧿🕊👍

[@Lourdes.Kassandra.]

Great video! 😊 Do you know if there is a book of spells in Latin?

[@Owlvine]

Thanks lovely. There definitely are, though I haven't got one in my own collection. Check out this website: www.sacred-texts.com/ It's filled with books you can read for free online, and I'm sure it's probably got a Latin spell book or two... Best wishes with your search! xx

[@Lourdes.Kassandra.]

@@Owlvine that's so interesting! Thank you so much!! 🤗🤗

[@ultravioletpisces3666]

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great suggestions and many more in the comments

My thoughts , and love sent her way . Will donate !

[@TheWitchOfEnchantment]

What an amazing list!!! There are a few I don’t have so I’ll have to add them to my list to get 😁 oh Honoring your Ancestors is one of my all time favorites 🥰

[@SamanthaPajor]

I can't find them on PayPal. I'd like to donate!

[@Owlvine]

Hmm... I've double checked the spelling, but everything seems to be in order. Perhaps give it another go? xox

[@candysbroomcloset]

Thanks for the recommend on the book by Everest Asher! ..I'm a fan of the Course in Miracles and this modern interpretation is really cool 💚😽👍

[@mileneortiz3853]

I also have like three of the books that you recommended LOL another book that is a good one is " of Blood and Bone working with Shadow magick and Dark Moon" by Kate Freuler, it's pretty new and dives into things I'm pretty sure you'll love !

[@doomhag]

Such a great book

[@Owlvine]

Ah yes, I've seen this one floating about. Awesome, noted! xoxo

[@The_Wild_Witch]

My heart goes out to Trina... She has had a lot of influence on the beginning of my practice. I truly want to repay her for that. I've been meaning to check out some of the book titles that you mentioned! I love hearing personal experiences and thoughts about the books from other witches so this is great! Thank you so much for sharing Owlvine! 💜💜💜 I've been slowly working through Psychic Witch by Matt Auryn. I highly recommend it!

[@Owlvine]

💜 She's done a lot for so many of us. Me too Starlight! It was fun to finally chat about books with you all. Ooh yes, Psychic Witch is in my to read pile, I've heard wonderful things about it! xx

[@bneuhaus4898]

Always a joy to watch your videos!! 🌸🌿🌼🌺💖

[@Owlvine]

Thanks Barb! I'm glad you enjoyed it 😊 Sending lots of love and magic your way xox

Magical Power The Elements of Spellcasting Honoring your Ancestors leave this book in your bathroom Hoodoo herb and root magic Ok, I need... all of these

[@sonyamareestead6391]

That is so sad. I am going to see if I can catch it on Saturday. But if I can't my thoughts are with Trina and her husband. I would love to purchase some stuff but I know I can't as you I have already said I do live with non witchy people and they don't believe so my path is kind of in secret. I do read my tarot cards though and light that candle of morning at 3.00am and when I light that candle I will send my healing thoughts them. I just have Book Depository and my wish list is so full but I am getting them. One step at a time right. so far two books I already have on my list. I have gotten quiet a few books you have recommended and I am slowly getting to read them. As I am a slow reader. It takes time for me to get through them all. I don't have any favourites because I love to learn no matter what book is and at the moment I am reading Messages From Spirit by Georgina Walker and wow it is a really good book and she gives little bits tips in what to do at the end of each chapter. The chapters are short which for me is really good as I am tend get through the book more and I so enjoying this book and I think others might also. Eventually this book plus others will be on my channel. I don't tend to show myself but I will show what I have read and boxes from witches Roots or anyone else's if I get them. Thanks for showing your favourites. Stay safe and Blessed be.

[@robertbradley8309]

Hello Owlvine! I am interested in Jason Miller's spellcasting book. I know very little about herbs. I do have Lewellyn's Ceremonial Magick book and I was reading the chapter on Kabbalah. They recommended The Wisdom of the Zohar by Isaiah Tishby. It is said that the Sefer Zohar is extremely difficult to read, but take your time doing so. I ordered this book and it is coming tomorrow. It is over 1700 pages, English translation. The actual book is 20,000 pages. It takes several lifetimes to master by the best scholars. But it is supposed to be the core of Kabbalah. I am also reading about Nocturnal Witchcraft and the history of witchcraft in the British Isles. Your video and book recommendations are wonderful!! Thanks for the upload!!

[@lillivineswhichwaytowitch9520]

Hello dear sister and hello to everyone else😘 you said there is a book you wanted but it's pricey. I didn't catch the name of the book. I'm interested in what book it is. Maybe a old witch that has grown to love another witch might be able to buy a book for both of them. Let me know. Have a wonderful night. I also want to send love and strength to our sister in need. I couldn't imagine the pain she is going through. Lots of love from my family to yours.

[@Owlvine]

I'll have to ask her, it's embedded in the middle of a long vlog I think... 😬 I should have written it down!

[@tarotundercandlelite]

two recent favourites are the Water Element and Fire Element books.

[@Owlvine]

Nice! I've got those on my radar too, they sound really good xx

[@candynkeith]

I have the book on Hoodoo. I usually recommend Scott Cunningham to newbies. I am very into herbalism. I also want to get the book on Honoring your Ancestors. Kris Hughes had a new book out on Cerridwen. I love his books.

[@Scentyland]

Great books, I bought hoodoo herbs roots last year. My go to is Cunningham's since 2004. Have taken note of the others thank you 🙏🏼❤

[@Owlvine]

You're welcome love! Yeah they're both great 😊 Many blessings xox

[@angelsmagick]

Do they have a specific Deity we can pray to , if we only can offer prayers? or can we perform some ritual that is appropriate & sincere. Many of us don't have a card for US,. Sending love and prayers, blessings Maggie

[@Owlvine]

I believe that Trena works with Hekate, and I think simply lighting a candle and sending her strength and support is going to do wonders 💜 Sending loads of love your way Maggie xox

[@lisa13-13]

Thank you, more books to add to my book list🙂

[@Owlvine]

Yay! Love that 😊 xox

[@thewitcheslilypad]

I love JM work. Thanks sis 💜

[@Owlvine]

[@bloodsweatandsteel.2749]

I've really enjoyed " traditional wicca a seekers guide" by Thorn Mooney. And " the case for polytheism " by Steven Dillon.

[@Owlvine]

Thank you for sharing Chris! I'm hanging for Thorns next book too 😊 xox

[@bloodsweatandsteel.2749]

@@Owlvine i know right! I can't wait to read her new one when it comes out!

[@Nicathatsme]

I’ve got Honoring the Ancestors & Hoodoo Herbs on my shelf yet to read this year! But first comes Rebel Witch by Kelly-Ann Maddox. But my favourite practical magic books already read this year have been Working the Roots by Michele E Lee and The Book of Candle Magic by Madame Pamita. Waking the Witch by Pam Grossman is an all time favourite but it’s more history and theory than practice.

[@Owlvine]

Nice! Rebel Witch is in my 'to read' pile, I've only heard good things! Oh nice, both of these books are on my wish list, you've bumped them up 😊 I haven't heard of Waking The Witch before, I'll look into it - thank you! xox

[@Nicathatsme]

@@Owlvine Oh I gotta add, Madame Pamita has a new book releasing spring 2022 titled Baba Yaga’s Book of Witchcraft: Slavic Magic From the Witch of the Woods!!!

[@pandora4037]

I definitely didn't just go to Amazon and put Leave This Book in the Bathroom on my wish list. 😂😁 One of the first, if not the first (I cannot actually remember, it was over 20 years ago) book I ever read about magic and the occult was Positive Magic by Marion Weinstein. I still have the book to this day and I just looked in it and the receipt is in there too.😁 I bought it December 1996. I've also been wanting to read The Holy Wild.

[@Owlvine]

😂 Love it!! Oh my goodness, our first witchy books hold such a special place in our hearts, don't they? A few people have mentioned that book - it's on my radar! xox

[@angelalong6740]

I'm currently reading Scottish Witchcraft by Barbara Mike Meikejohn-Free. It is helpful in learning to create a Book of Shadows. ❤

[@Owlvine]

Ooh you're the second person to mention this book recently, I'ma add it to the list! Thank you 😊 xoxo

[@CherryBerry48]

the picture looks like a cat's eye, with the person standing there with the gold around it, you must give that cover another chance, put it on a desk standing up and stand away from it, you will see the eye

[@DrJakeBretherick]

Secrets of Shamanism by Jose and Lena Steven's is one of the best books ever in my opinion. Like ever!
