Today I am celebrating six years of Witchery—A legacy of Magic, Resistance & Reclamation.

Six years ago, Witchery: Embrace the Witch Within was released into the world—a book woven from ancestral wisdom, personal practice, and a deep commitment to reclaiming our magic.

What happened next was beyond anything I could have imagined.

• Been translated into over 14 languages (an international bestseller)
  

• Sold nearly 200,000 copies
  

• Been a bestseller for 4 years, ranking # 1 and staying in the Top 5
  

• Held a place in the Top 100 for six years
  

• Become the first witchcraft book to openly address cultural appropriation
  

• Stood apart as not a Wiccan book, but one rooted in the practices that anyone can do, from an Indigenous perspective, Earth, and seasonal magic.
  

• Connected self-care, self-love, community care, and Earth connection to our magic.
  

• Shared real spells from my personal book of spells—ones I still work with today
  

• Challenged stereotypes and toxic beliefs about what it means to be a witch
  

• Earned over 7,000 five-star reviews from readers whose lives have been transformed

This book was never just a book. It was a reclamation. A resistance. A reminder that magic is our birthright.

This book changed my life.

When I wrote Witchery, I had no idea what was ahead. I just knew I had something to say, something that had been burning inside me for years. I knew I had to write the book I needed when I was younger—the book that told me my magic was real, that my ancestors’ practices were sacred, that I didn’t have to fit into anyone’s mold.

Since then, I have written three more books and created nine oracle decks—a life beyond my wildest dreams. And it all started with Witchery.

“Magic is experiencing pain, brokenness, and difficulty

yet somehow seeing the light in the darkness.”

This book gave me the life I once only imagined. But more importantly, it became a beacon for thousands of others looking to reclaim their magic, their power, their connection to something greater.

For six years, this book has traveled the world, landing in bookstores, libraries, shops, and your homes. It has sparked conversations, challenged norms, and reminded people that their magic is not only real but accessible to them.

I could not have done this without you.

To everyone who has read, shared, gifted, and embraced Witchery, thank you. You are part of this legacy. You are the reason my dreams came true.

Thank you, I am forever grateful.

With love,
Juliet

PRE-ORDER my forthcoming book.

THE ALTAR WITHIN - 2nd Edition

Indigenous Taino and first-generation Cuban American author Juliet Diaz, globally renowned for her award-winning and internationally bestselling works, presents a groundbreaking spiritual revolution.

In this new and revised edition, Juliet Diaz offers a radical devotional guide for inner and collective liberation in this transformative work. True liberation requires unlearning everything we’ve been taught about who we are, how we should exist, and what is possible. The Altar Within provides a path for those who refuse to separate spirituality from justice and seek healing that does not bypass the realities of oppression and the struggles we face. It is for those who understand that personal liberation is deeply intertwined with that of the collective and that community care and mutual aid are not just ideals but necessities in building a world that is inclusive, diverse, and just.

With reflective writing prompts, embodied practices, rituals, spells, decolonial and liberatory teachings, this book invites you to go into the depths of our humanity.

It invites you to become the alchemist, the witness, and the architect of your own liberation.

Let your inner altar be your anchor.

Let this work be your guide.

The revolution begins here

—within you.
