I wanted to share with you an exciting offer that I came across recently. It's called the "Magic of Lights Discount Voucher." This voucher allows you to experience the enchanting world of lights at a discounted price. The Magic of Lights is an annual event where a stunning display of light sculptures and installations are showcased. The event is a true spectacle, attracting people from all walks of life. From mesmerizing light tunnels to dazzling animated displays, there is something for everyone to enjoy at the Magic of Lights.
Lisa also shares her own journey to reclaiming the word ‘witch’, along with personal, hands-on rituals and spells from her family lineage of gypsy witch magic.
In this book, third generation hereditary witch Lisa Lister explains the history behind witchcraft, why in past centuries the word witch has led women to be tortured, drowned and burned at the stake, and why the witch is now waking once again in women across the world today. If you are a woman who does not have usual female biology and or monthly bleeds or if those years are behind you now then you may not enjoy some of the ideas and language in this book as it is very much an embodied practice Lisa describes here.
From mesmerizing light tunnels to dazzling animated displays, there is something for everyone to enjoy at the Magic of Lights. With the discount voucher, you will be able to save a significant amount on the entry ticket price. This means you can experience the magic and wonder of the lights without breaking the bank.
Witchcraft practitioner Lisa Lister
I’ve been following Lisa’s work for a while now. Her first two books, Code Red and Love Your Lady Landscape are really good reads and I’ve recommended them a number of times to people feeling out of tune with their bodies and menstrual cycles. So I was keen to read Witch.
The fact that Hay House had picked up the book (and they sought Lisa out) piqued my interest even more. This was kicking things up a notch or ten. In Lisa’s earlier books she definitely had an embodied, kind of magical/ holistic take on things, but this is the first book where she’s properly come out of the broom closet and declared herself Witch.
“The witch represents the part of each of us that has been censored, ignored, punished and demonised. And it’s a part that wants – no, needs – to be accessed and fully expressed.”
Witch, Lisa Lister
What’s in the Book?
Witch is divided into 13 (of course) chapters.
The first seven cover history, herstory, different witchcraft practices, plus some autobiographical stuff, but the main thrust of this first part of the book is making the case for women (and I’ll get onto how woman is defined by the author later) to remember who they are and take back their power. Lisa wants to #wakethewitches.
The second half of the book goes through the five main goddess archetypes, as Lisa sees them, alongside a kind of witchy 101 of information about practices, spells and correspondences. The final chapter is a rousing call to brooms – The Witch Has Woken!
Overall this structure works, but it does feel like the chapter titles came first and then some of the content was shoe-horned in afterwards.
The book has sold a LOT of copies, it’s been consistently top of the Amazon charts in pagan/ wicca/ spirituality etc since it’s release) people are buying it in numbers. But if you read the reviews it does seem to be dividing opinion, and I think that’s because it is intended for a very specific audience – and if that’s not you, then you probably won’t like it.
So, who is this book for?
The ideal reader of this book is a natal female, still in her bleeding years, who has an interest in witchcraft, but not a great deal of knowledge or experience. Even better if she’s at a place in her life where she’s had enough of patriarchal bullshit and is ready to step fully into her power and start taking steps to fully realise her life as she wants to live it. If this is you, you will likely LOVE this book.
Who is it not for?
*If you are following a specific pagan or witch path then you probably won’t jive with the pick and mix approach taken here. It’s more suited to an eclectic, and solitary, style of practice.
*If you’re easily offended by crass language and swearing (why are you reading books on witchcraft?) you’ll probably struggle to see past the language used here.
*If you are a woman who does not have usual female biology and/or monthly bleeds (or if those years are behind you now) then you may not enjoy some of the ideas and language in this book as it is very much an embodied practice Lisa describes here. This has led the book to be criticised for it’s narrow definition of woman – and I’ve seen Lisa being called a TERF (trans exclusionary radical feminist) by some. I’m not totally sure how I feel about this. As an intersectional feminist I do feel very strongly that all marginalised groups need recognition and support to eradicate discrimination. But does that automatically mean that every writer need to address every person’s experience in their work? Some will say, yes of course, but I don’t think so (or even believe that it is possible to do this). I am aware that could lead to me also being “called-out” as a TERF, so be it. In Witch, Lisa is addressing a history and a present which keeps women in a position lesser than men, and she’s calling time’s up on that. I feel that is a positive message.
Summary
Overall the book is a quick and interesting read, which some have found to be incredibly inspiring and powerful, but is not for everyone.
If you connect with the ideal reader definition above you’ll likely get a lot out of it, and even if you’ve been a practising witch for a long time you may still connect with the message and some of the practices shared here. I enjoyed it, and I’ve been walking a witchy path for almost three decades now.
There were a few things that niggled me in the book (some of which I wonder may have been due to a little but of push/ pull between Lisa and Hay House) that I won’t go into here. But I’ve also made a video review of the book where I talk about this in more detail.

Reviews for "Light Up Your Life with a Discounted Voucher for Magical Lights"
1. Sarah - 1/5 - I was really disappointed with the Magic of Lights discount voucher. The event itself was underwhelming, with only a few scattered lights and no real magical atmosphere. The voucher also turned out to be a waste of money, as it barely covered any of the entrance fee. Overall, I felt cheated and would not recommend it to anyone looking for a true magical lights experience.
2. John - 2/5 - I purchased the Magic of Lights discount voucher with high hopes, but unfortunately, it did not live up to my expectations. The lights were not as impressive as advertised, and the whole event felt rushed and poorly organized. The voucher did provide a small discount, but it still felt overpriced for what was offered. I left feeling unsatisfied and would not consider attending again.
3. Emily - 2/5 - The Magic of Lights discount voucher was a letdown for me. While the event had a few nice light displays, it lacked variety and creativity. The voucher did provide a slight discount, but the overall experience was not worth the price I paid. I was also disappointed with the lack of attractions or activities within the event. I would not recommend using the discount voucher for this particular event.
