The Head Witch's first magickal book was Scott Cunningham's Encyclopedia of Magical Herbs, a book she still uses religiously to this day. Scott Cunningham played an integral role in the witchcraft and wiccan community with his knowledge and books. Although he passed in 1993, his legacy lives on in his books that are still published and through his sister, Christine, who penned a book as a tribute to her brother. Join April and Christine as they talk about Scott, his contributions to the magickal community, how his legacy lives on and her new book about Scott. Christine Cunningham-Ashworth comes from a family of writers. Published since 2001, in paranormal and contemporary romance, as well as non-fiction, Christine has had a regular column in The Cartomancer Magazine since 2018. She will have a book signing October 18 at Paradise Found in Santa Barbara, CA. Connect with Christine: christine-ashworth.com Facebook: @christineashworth
