Motherline Grimoire is a research-grounded guide for magical people who feel the ancient pull of their maternal bloodline. Blending accessible science on mitochondrial DNA with ritual practice, intuitive genealogy, and elemental magic, this book teaches that ancestry is not just a record to observe from afar but a living flame carried in every cell. Whether you are completely new to lineage work or already deep in ancestral practice, the teachings are offered in clear, welcoming language that invites exploration through both fact and spirit. In these pages, the history of the maternal line rises as a sacred current of memory, instinct, and fire that can be fed, healed, and reclaimed. With poetic insight and wise-witch guidance, Motherline Grimoire leads the reader back to the ancient hearth fires of origin, belonging, and the fierce love of the women who came before.
The Magic in Your Genes provides a clear and accessible route enabling both novices and adepts to deepen their ancestor work and genealogy practice. The book offers a primer on the basics of DNA and genetic genealogy practices, so no prior knowledge is required to put the book to use. Magical tips and techniques are placed throughout to help the reader utilize both technical and magical resources as appropriate to the content in each chapter.
Written in a conversational style, the book is easy to understand by those with limited knowledge of genetics and genealogy, yet the book’s technical aspects on DNA and genetic testing are based on current standards as set forth by professional associations.
The Magic in Your Genes is geared to those with a known recent genealogical history (parents, grandparents) but is also appropriate for those who are adopted or who have other situations, such as a misattributed parentage event.
Stories, spells, rituals, and recipes celebrating the worldwide influence of this beloved Celtic goddess, with contributions from Amy Blackthorn, Laura Tempest Zakroff, Courtney Weber, and many others This anthology celebrates Brigid, an ancient and mysterious Celtic spirit who ranks among today’s most popular modern goddesses. Venerated in many forms including as a saint and a goddess, Brigid has traveled the globe alongside the Celtic diaspora.

While acknowledging her origins, this book also explores Brigid from the perspective of those outside her original Celtic homeland. Editors Cairelle Crow and Laura Louella have gathered art, poetry, stories, spells, rituals, recipes, and traditions as an homage to the worldwide influence of Brigid’s magic and lore, especially among the descendants of immigrants to the Americas. In compiling these individual works, Cairelle and Laura have given voice to those traveling ancestors by showcasing a rich and beautiful heritage manifested through embodiments of devotion by their descendants, as well as others touched by Brigid.
