About

Hey there, I’m Francesca Black, a witchy author and practicing witch with over 20 years of experience. I write books and resources to help new witches feel confident, grounded, and excited about their craft.

I created Year of the Witch because getting started in witchcraft can feel overwhelming. It’s an undated weekly planner built around monthly themes, designed so you can begin anytime and move at your own pace. Inside, you’ll find prompts, spells, and practical guidance that help you build real habits and understanding, not just read about magic, but actually practice it.

I originally made this book for my two daughters, who felt that most witchcraft books were either too dense or moved too fast. So I broke everything into bite-sized, approachable lessons that make learning witchcraft feel doable, personal, and enjoyable.

Think of it as a blend of grimoire, journal, and beginner’s guide, something you’ll use all year to track your growth, explore energy, and watch your magic evolve.

Here on Gemini Witch, I share beginner-friendly wisdom, tools, and books for witches who are just starting out (or starting over). I’m always creating new projects to support your path, so there’s plenty of magic still unfolding.

If you have questions or just want to connect, head over to the contact page, I’d love to hear from you.
