Reviews By Katrina Rasbold
In a crowded field of magical texts that often recycle the same basic correspondences, Mitchell King’s The Many Veils of the Moon: A Grimoire of Lunar Magic for the Green Witch arrives as a refreshingly original and deeply poetic voice. King, an accomplished poet and educator, weaves a grimoire that is as beautifully written as it is practical, offering a sophisticated guide for those seeking to deepen their communion with the lunar cycle.
The book’s standout feature is King’s original “Twin Moons” system. Rather than simply cataloging the phases we all know, King invites the reader to explore the dual nature of lunar magic by honoring both the “Light” (Full Moon) and the “Shadow” (New Moon). This approach encourages a balanced practice, urging the Green Witch to embrace the darkness as a fertile ground for growth rather than something to be feared. It bridges the gap between Traditional Witchcraft and modern nature spirituality in a way that feels both ancient and innovative.
What gives this book its heart is the personal narrative woven throughout the spells. Rooted in a magical legacy passed down from King’s mother, the text feels intimate—less like a textbook and more like a conversation with a wise mentor. The “Green Path” described here is not just about herbs and gardens; it is a holistic philosophy of walking in rhythm with nature’s heartbeat.
Do not let the lyrical prose fool you. This is absolutely a working grimoire packed with actionable content, including:
- Rituals & Incantations: Beautifully crafted spoken components that roll off the tongue (a benefit of the author’s background in poetry).
- Protection & Beauty Spells: Practical workings for the modern witch.
- Seasonal Alignments: How to sync your personal energy with the natural world.
The Many Veils of the Moon is a must-have for the library of any Green Witch, Pagan, or spiritual seeker. It moves beyond the standard “101” basics to offer a rich, shadowed, and luminous path for those ready to take their practice seriously. Mitchell King has gifted the community a work that honors the complexity of the spirit and the simple, undeniable power of the moon.
