Özet
 A skeptic spends a year trying to find spiritual fulfillment by practicing modern Witchcraft in this fascinating memoir that’s perfect for fans of A.J. Jacobs and Mary Roach.

Diana Helmuth, thirty-three, is skeptical of organized religion. She is also skeptical of disorganized religion. But, more than anything, she is tired of God being dead. So, she decides to try on the fastest-growing, self-directed faith in America: Witchcraft.

The result is 366 days of observation, trial, error, wit, and back spasms. Witches today are often presented as confident and finished, proud and powerful. Diana is eager to join them. She wants to follow all the rules, memorize all the incantations, and read all the liturgy. But there’s one glaring problem: no Witch can agree on what the right rules, liturgy, and incantations are.

As with life, Diana must define the craft for herself, looking past the fashionable and figuring out how to define the real. Along the way, she travels to Salem and Edinburgh (two very Crafty hubs) and attends a week-long (clothing optional) Witch camp in Northern California. Whether she’s trying to perform a full moon ritual on a cardboard box, summon an ancient demon with scotch tape and a kitchen trivet, or just trying to become a calmer, happier person, her biggest question remains: Will any of this really work?

The Witching Year is a “compelling memoir” (Frances Denny, author of Major Arcana) that follows in the footsteps of celebrated memoirs by journalists like A.J. Jacobs, Mary Roach, and Caitlin Doughty, who knit humor and reportage together in search of something worth believing.

I've been practicing witch craft for just under a year, and felt this book was very relatable. A lot of the things Diana has struggled with on her journey, I have too. This book has inspired me to do more shadow work, and to reflect on things I may have not previously considered.

Insightful and inspiring

I found this book easy to listen to. It is read well by the author and really helps you feel like you are on this journey together. The authors accounts are open, well research and funny. I feel like she did the year of wicca so I don't have to. I might try druidism?? I appreciate the end not being forced into a conclusion but leaving an honest if maybe less satisfying open ended argument. we are always growing.

A gentle and honest exploration into wicca/witchcraft and the spiritual journey that goes with it.

I LOVED this book. The author is absolutely hilarious. I'm so glad I decided to go with the audiobook version as you get an amazing sense of Diana's personality. The reading was perfect and felt like an irreverent chat with a good friend. I'm a witchy Pagan type and I really resonated with Diana's journey. I'm also pretty sceptical, so I enjoyed hearing her thoughts about the woo woo topics. Great fun!
