Hey there, I’m Francesca Black—a witchy author and practicing witch with more than 20 years of experience.

I create books and beginner-friendly resources to help new witches feel confident, grounded, and excited about building a practice of their own.

I created Year of the Witch because learning witchcraft can feel overwhelming. There’s so much information out there, and a lot of it can be dense, confusing, or difficult to actually put into practice.

Originally, I made the book for my two daughters, who wanted to learn but felt like most witchcraft books moved too quickly. So I broke everything down into simple, approachable lessons that make learning the craft feel personal, practical, and enjoyable.

Year of the Witch is an undated 12-month planner that you can begin anytime and work through at your own pace. Each month explores a different theme, with weekly lessons, prompts, spells, and practical guidance to help you build real habits and deepen your understanding as you go.

Think of it as part beginner’s guide, part journal, and part grimoire—a place to explore your practice, track your growth, and watch your magic evolve throughout the year.

Here on Gemini Witch, I share beginner-friendly witchcraft guidance, books, tools, and ideas for anyone who is just starting out—or finding their way back to the craft.

There’s always more magic in the works. ✨
