About the book
Diana Helmuth, a 33-year-old skeptic, has had enough of feeling disconnected from spirituality. Tired of both organized and disorganized religion, she sets out on a bold experiment—one year of practicing Witchcraft, the fastest-growing, self-directed faith in America.
But Diana quickly realizes Witchcraft comes with its own set of challenges. With no clear rules, she’s left to navigate rituals, incantations, and a lot of confusion. From attending a clothing-optional Witch camp to summoning spirits with everyday objects, her journey is anything but conventional.
As Diana searches for spiritual fulfillment, she’s forced to ask: can modern Witchcraft provide the peace and connection she seeks—or is it all just magical thinking?
A witty, heartfelt memoir about defining your own path in a world of endless possibilities.
