13 Magical Spellbooks For Getting In Touch With Your Witchy Side
Double, double, toil and trouble.
Everyday Magic: Spells & Rituals for Modern Living, by Dorothy Morrison
This spell book — used frequently and enthusiastically by the BuzzFeed Witches — is both comprehensive and accessible, requiring (in most cases) few ingredients and/or supplies. Includes spells for issues broad (finding love) and narrow (finding one's parked car).
The Spells Bible: The Definitive Guide to Charms and Enchantments, by Ann-Marie Gallagher
While Gallagher's spells (of which there are over 150 in this book) are often a bit more involved, and require a bit more supply-shopping, than others on this list, each of them comes with informative background information that makes this an interesting read regardless of how many of its spells you might perform.

For those interested in candle magic — perhaps one of modern witchcraft's most accessible, and most fun, forms — Lisa Chamberlain offers a solid introduction for beginners, including information on color choice, candle consecration, tips, and spells.

Circle of Eight: Creating Magic for Your Place on Earth, by Jane Meredith
Jane Meredith's book offers a unique, spiritual process for those interested in "local magic," or the idea that one can welcome magic (and attendant good fortune) into one's surroundings by working with his or her natural environment, the seasons, and the elements.

This Children's Book Aims To Give Black Queer Boys A Voice
“Seeing yourself creates possibilities for yourself in your head, and not seeing yourself creates a question of worthiness.”
Myles Johnson, a 24-year-old Atlanta resident, is aiming to change the way black queer boys are represented in literature with his new children's book, Large Fears.

The book is about a young boy named Jeremiah Nebula who loves pink and wants to go to Mars. The author told BuzzFeed he wrote Jeremiah's character because he wanted to create something he didn't see see when he was growing up.

"I wanted to see a character that was me. I wanted to create a character that didn’t perform gender in the way black boys are traditionally seen doing on television. A male character that could grow up to love men," Johnson said.
"I wanted to create a world where femininity isn’t synonymous with being docile or fragile, and where masculinity isn’t synonymous with adventure and bravery. I wanted to blur the societal ideas of gender norms and expressions, so I created it," he continued.

It was important to the author to "introduce the idea of intersectional identities to children."
