"In How Witchcraft Saved My Life, Vincent Higginbotham steers us on a turbulent ride through the wild, often painful, journey of growing up. But Higginbotham isn't just advising us on how to grow up, fit in, and tow the party line. Using the power of deep listening, journaling, meditation, activating clairvoyance, banishing demons, setting boundaries, and the queering of our old-time religion, the author takes fledgling witches under his wing and teaches them how to overcome their fears and grow into their magic. A thrill!"—Amanda Yates Garcia, author of Initiated: Memoir of a Witch
"A brave, moving account of the power magic can have in healing, transformation, and the realization of our hopes and dreams. Vincent Higginbotham shares not only his personal story in a raw, compelling fashion, but he also offers powerful insights into the Craft across a wide variety of subjects, which includes practical suggestions for how to practice and journal prompts. Often, occult authors offer little information about their personal process and journey. The vulnerability and candor here provides a most welcome change!"—Durgadas Allon Duriel, author of The Little Work: Magic to Transform Your Everyday Life

In this book, Vincent tells us his turbulent life journey, and how it led him to discover the marvelous and winsome potential to change his life, after reading this book, you will feel forced to discover your own magical potential too."—Elhoim Leafar, author of The Magical Art of Crafting Charm Bags and Manifestation Magic
"This manuscript is an ode to the sharp, broken pieces inside that fear they can never be human enough, let alone witch enough. Vincent courageously shares gut wrenching traumas he has endured, inviting us to witness him at his very psyche. In doing so, he gives us the tools and permission to do the same emotional unpacking in our own lives. The practical exercises in this book are excellent, from thoughtful journal prompts to accessible, actionable ideas. Ultimately the richest treasure of this book lies in the unapologetic space Vincent has carved for the intersection of the very real evils of this world and the transcendent power of witchcraft."—Meg Rosenbriar, cofounder of Witch With Me and author of The Healing Power of Witchcraft: A New Witches Guide to Rituals and Spells to Renew Yourself and Your World
