This resource empowers you to build a decolonized bookshelf and stand against censorship.

Small magics: Practical Secrets from an Appalachian witch

I am enchanted with this book. The writing style is smooth and fun and makes the book all that more enjoyable. It is easy to follow and take her advice in steps and spend time to reflect on each section. It will be a staple for my shelf and one that I go back to regularly.

Couldn't put the Book Down!

From the first page to the last, this book draws you in and keeps you engaged. I absolutely enjoyed this book and am planning to get the sequel.
I have a hard time staying focused when reading, and often get disinterested when there's lulls. NOT WITH THIS BOOK! I was with the characters from page 1 through the every step of their travels. I was sad when I got to the end, only because I wanted more. Lucky for me there is another book!

A perfect blend of historical and fantasy elements

I love historical fiction and I love fantasy but I don’t always get a chance to read them meshed together. The Conductors did just that! There’s also mystery mixed in and a slight touch of romance. My only objection is that I wish the magic system was explained a little more!

Absolutely amazing resource!

I'm so pleased to invest in this amazing reference compilation! I'd been trying to piece together native alternatives to imported European plants for medicinal/edible use and magical correspondences myself ad hoc and been getting no where. This is exactly what I was looking for!

Very cute book

I loved reading through these little stories! They’re cute and read just like fairy tales should. The illustrations are just lovely as well.
