Personally, I enjoyed Howard’s accounts of her direct magical experiences with water and the practical advice that she offers based on those experiences. Thus, even if you are a long-time devotee of water magick or an interested newcomer, this book is just perfect for guiding you in and along your magical journey as a water witch. In short, Howard shares her deep water wisdom in this insightful book that is empowered with well-researched lore, traditional folk practices, and sound magical principles, and it is, from start to finish, one of the most seductively-written collective prose on the subject as I think I have read in the past decade. Ergo, and in closing, this is a comprehensive beginners' book that should prove useful and inspiring to those seeking a path of water magick, but will also appeal to newcomers, casual observers, and even naysayers of such things; for its informative nature is as alluring as its subject matter. ~ Exclusive Magazine, Review

Jesscia Howard's 'The Water Witch' is a unique and comprehensive exploration of all things water. This book incorporates both historical information - such as the cultural importance of water throughout the ancient world- as well as practical tools for connecting with this element. Each chapter includes practical exercises designed to help the reader embody their own inner water witch. As a long time devotee of water magick, I would highly recommend this book to anyone interested in incorporating the element of water into their spiritual practice ~ Robin Corak, author of Pagan Portals - Persephone: Practicing the Art of Personal Power

As a Pisces, married to a Sailor, I pay attention to water in all its manifestations (from ocean to refreshing drink). As a rune magician I am always eager to expand my understanding of the runes. I collect water from different locations for magical purposes, always mindful of the Water Rune: Laguz. In this book Jessica Howard speaks of water as the ‘otherworldly unknown’ and she introduces us to the ways of the Water Witch as a knowledge seeker. She introduces water deities (and may I suggest that you also start a list of your own, reflecting your own location or ancestral background). She also describes scrying methods (the art of inducing a vision by staring at something) and the cleansing of spiritual objects, all using water. If water exerts its magical pull on you, this is a very practical book. Really, it is a diving board for (aspiring) water witches. Treat yourself to an adventure! ~ Imelda Almqvist, international teacher of Sacred Art and Seiðr, author of four books including Sacred Art - A Hollow Bone for Spirit: Where Art Meets Shamanism
