 How to Use This List

  • Keep one as your current bedside read.

  • Add the others to Audible for cozy listening while cleaning, walking, or crafting.

Personally, I adore having a physical copy of witchy books — there’s just something magical about flipping through the pages, scribbling notes in the margins, and seeing the book live on my shelf.

But as a busy witch, I’ll be honest… I rarely have the quiet time I’d like to sit down and read. That’s where Audible has been a game-changer for me. I can listen while I’m cleaning, walking, or even stirring a pot of soup. If you’re like me and want to fit more magic into your everyday, you can actually try Audible free for 30 days and see if it works for your lifestyle.
