REVIEWER: Tracy Nicholas
Blake Malliway’s most recent book, A Witch’s Guide to Fetch Work, is a fascinating journey that the reader is asked to embark on with the intended destination of a strong relationship with their personal fetch. The book is divided into three main sections that lead you along a path of increasingly advanced understanding and practice.
The first section, entitled Folklore and Theory is a deep dive into historical beliefs about the nature of the fetch and different theories on what a fetch actually is. Well researched and informative, this part of the book surprised me with its wealth of information and resources. The fetch has a rich history and in this section of the book I learned more about fetch beliefs than I ever dreamed existed.
The next section of the book contains foundational practices designed to help the reader find, establish a connection and build a relationship with their fetch. As opposed to offering a laundry list of exercises about the fetch, Malliway delves into an overall spiritual practice that will shift the practitioner’s mindset in a way that will support a variety of magical efforts in addition to the fetch work. Indeed, as the author points out, fetch work is part of an overall spiritual practice and the fetch relationship you develop will assist you in all areas of your magical work. By the time you get to the third section, you will have a solid foundation with which you can move on to more advanced exercises.
The final section, entitled A Grimoire explores divination, shapeshifting and other advanced fetch spells and rituals. For the practitioner dedicated to deepening their relationship with their fetch, this is an invaluable resource filled with practices and exercises that the author has successfully used in his own practice. For the casual reader interested in learning more about the nature of the fetch, it is an engaging read that provides a deep understanding of all the areas of life that a fetch relationship can impact positively. Throughout the book Malliway connects with the reader by providing deeply personal anecdotes and practices. Reading this book felt like sitting down with a good friend who is excited to share the amazing world of the fetch with you. Whether you are just embarking on your journey with your fetch or you already have established a relationship and want to strengthen your bond, this book is a must read for anyone wanting to explore this powerful and magical connection.
