Wild Drinks and Cocktails will be slipping into Christine Candora-Hickey's hands!
DIY Bitters will be going to live with Petoskystone! **
A cave. In the middle, a cauldron boiling. Thunder. Enter the three Witches.
First Witch:
Thrice the brinded cat hath mew'd.
Second Witch:
Thrice and once the hedge-pig whined.
Third Witch:
Harpier cries 'Tis time, 'tis time.
First Witch:
Round about the cauldron go;
In the poison'd entrails throw.
Toad, that under cold stone Days and nights has thirty-one Swelter'd venom sleeping got,
Boil thou first i' the charmed pot.
All:
Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn, and cauldron bubble!
A pinch of this and a handful of that. Ingredients from the cupboard, the garden, the crossroads. Whether you are brewing up some magic, some medicine, or a good drink, these next books will be very helpful.
I have two copies of The Black Folder to give away, from the extraordinary Briana Saussy who is the author of a particularly beautiful essay in the book. The book itself is a collection of essays, flyers and workshop information put together by the Missionary Independent Spiritual Church and contains, among other information:
"Cursing and Reversing Tricks with Dolls and Mirror Spells; The Secrets of Kitchen Witchery and Grocery Store Magic; Candle and Oil Lamp Magic in the Hoodoo Tradition; How to Make Your Own Mojo Hands, Doll-Babies, and Packet Amulets; Divination and Seership with Bones, Tea Leaves, and Candle Wax"
If getting your hoodoo on isn't your thing, I also have two of the most delicious new herbal books to come out this year in the giveaway pile.
DIY Bitters: Reviving the Forgotten Flavor is the herbal love-child of Guido Masé and Jovial King and ensures that you will have very good beverages and a happy belly for years to come (you know that bitters = belly love, right?) and Wild Drinks and Cocktails is a stunning tome from Emily Han which will have you muddling all sorts of fruit and herbs, and splashing vinegars in your highball glasses. Both of these books are a lovely addition to an herbal, cookbook, or bar bookshelf, and I have one copy of each to give away.

Serendipitously, I was just looking for a book on Hoodoo because I'm working up a course on occultism and that's a tradition I don't know much about.
If those are already gone, I'd love a copy of Guido's bitters book. I have seen him speak live several times and he is very inspiring.
I already own a copy of Emily Han's Wild Cocktails, so that needs a different home.
Thanks!
I'd LOVE to add The Black Folder to my library!! Many thanks for the opportunity to do so!!
The Black Folder sounds great, as do the other two. Thanks!

The Black Folder!!!!! lol *all my fingers and toes are crossed*
They all sound fantastic, but I'm especially in love with the Black Folder. Crossing everything that's crossable.
Who could resist a book with the name like Wild Drinks and Cocktails? But The Black Folder sounds wonderful too so either would be fantastic.
They all look like great books and I'd be happy with any one of them.
Thanks.
Awesome!I have wanted the Black Book for a time!
I would love a copy of The Black Folder. It sounds extraordinary. Thank you for the chance to win.
These books sound amazing. I can't decide between the last two, but they would all make a great addition to a library!
hi! they all sound awesome but I'd go with the black folder.
Cool. I'd be interested in the Black Folder.
What a nice offer! Black Folder if I win
