Hi Ann, thank you for taking the time to share your views. I appreciate the depth of your understanding of witchcraft as a shamanic and deeply personal path. The intention behind the article was to introduce a spectrum of resources, acknowledging that each individual's journey into witchcraft is unique. Your emphasis on the experiential over the academic aspect of witchcraft is a valuable perspective. I understand your concerns about certain texts and appreciate your recommendation of Scott Cunningham's work, which indeed offers a more personal approach to the craft. Your feedback is an important reminder of the diversity and depth of witchcraft practices. Thanks again for your input; it's certainly given me food for thought for future content.
