"Not the Witch You Qed" In the world of witchcraft and sorcery, stereotypes and misconceptions are prevalent. The popular culture often portrays witches as malevolent and wicked characters, with their main objective being to cast spells on unsuspecting victims. However, it is important to remember that real-life witches are not the same as the ones depicted in myths and fairy tales. First and foremost, witches do not have a inherent desire to cause harm or manipulate others. While they may practice different forms of magic, their intentions are typically rooted in healing, spiritual growth, and personal empowerment. Many witches follow ethical guidelines such as the Wiccan Rede, which promotes the concept of "harm none" and encourages practitioners to use their powers responsibly.

A fake relationship between a magic-less witch and a wolf shifter turns to more in the start of a bewitching new paranormal rom-com series.
Magic-less witch Violet Maxwell wants nothing to do with alpha wolf shifter Lincoln Thorne—the man who broke her fragile, teenage heart. But when the two of them are forced by arcane Supernatural Laws to find mates, Violet and Lincoln agree to fake-date their way to a fake-mating in order to conjure themselves some time.
The joke’s on them. When old feelings make a reappearance—along with Violet’s magic—they both realize there’s nothing fake about their feelings. But there are old secrets and looming threats that could snatch away their happily ever after, again. One thing’s for sure: magic doesn’t make dating and love any easier.
In Not the Witch You Wed, April Asher brings all the hilarity and sweet, sexy moments you love in a romantic-comedy—plus a fun dose of magic—to this spell-binding new series about being sexy, single, and supernatural in New York City.
April Asher, aka April Hunt, was hooked on romantic stories from the time she first snuck a bodice-ripper romance out from her mom's bedside table. She now lives out her own happily-ever-after with her college-sweetheart husband, their two children, and a cat who thinks she's more dog—and human—than feline. By day, April dons dark blue nursing scrubs and drinks way too much caffeine. By night, she still consumes too much caffeine, but she does it with a laptop in hand, and from her favorite side of the couch.
From the far left cushion, April Asher pens laugh-out-loud romantic comedies with a paranormal twist, but when she’s not putting her characters into embarrassing situations with supernatural entities, she also writes high-octane romantic suspense as April Hunt, her thrill-seeking alter ego who has written the Alpha Ops and Alpha Security series.

Witches can be found in various religious and spiritual communities, such as Wicca, Paganism, and Shamanism, each with their own unique perspectives and methods. Contrary to popular belief, witches do not rely solely on casting spells to achieve their goals. In fact, magic is just one aspect of their spiritual practice. They also engage in meditation, divination, energy work, and other forms of spiritual exploration. Witches often have a deep connection to nature and may incorporate herbalism, crystal healing, and other natural remedies into their practices. It is also important to note that witches do not fit into a single mold. They can be of any gender, age, or background. The idea that witches are solely female is a misguided stereotype perpetuated by centuries of patriarchal society. Men can also practice witchcraft and identify as witches, making it an inclusive and diverse community. In conclusion, witches are not the malevolent creatures that popular culture often portrays them to be. They are individuals who have a deep connection to spirituality, nature, and the unseen energies of the universe. While witches may practice magic, their intentions are typically rooted in healing, personal growth, and ethical principles. It is crucial to dispel the misconceptions surrounding witches and appreciate the diversity and complexity of their beliefs and practices..
