In her debut book, Inner Witch: A Modern Guide to the Ancient Craft (known as Craft in the UK), Gabriela explores all of the basics of witchcraft in an accessible and modern way. Not your grandmother’s grimoire, the book covers all the new or seasoned witch needs to know; the holidays of the witch, working with energy, working with the moon phases, tarot, astrology, crystals, glamour magick, how to create your own spells and rituals, sex magick and more. This book unlocks the ancient art of witchcraft so that you can find a brand of magick that works for you.

In “Bewitching the Elements: A Guide to Empowering Yourself Through Earth, Air, Fire, Water and Spirit”, Gabriela helps readers connect to the five elements through meditation, breathwork, tarot, crystals, rituals, and journaling. The tools offered in Bewitching the Elements will help you connect to the universe and your inner light.

Through earth, learn how to ground and create compassionate boundaries. Through air, harness the breath, balance the body, and find presence in the moment. Through fire, embody passion, burning away what no longer serves you, and learn to constructively work with anger. Through water, explore your emotional depths and come back to the heart. Through spirit, connect to your own sense of power, embracing all of the lessons of the elements.

In Embody Your Magick: A Guided Journal for the Modern Witch Gabriela shares even more magick to help readers create a journaling practice that is right for them. By ritualizing self-care for the physical body (earth), the mental body (air), the emotional body (water), the spiritual body (fire), and the soul (spirit), Embody Your Magick acts as a DIY grimoire with a whole lot of love mixed in. With tarot spreads, pages for the moon phases and Wheel of the Year, space to record workings, and so much more, this journal is the mystical companion for any modern witch, whether or not they have Gabriela’s other books.

In Sacred Sex: The Magick and Path of the Divine Erotic, Gabriela dives deep into the history, current, and practices of sex magick. Filled with ritual, tarot spreads, affirmations, and spellwork for releasing shame, claiming your sexual power, and finding a path of erotic magick that’s right for you, Sacred Sex is a liberating, experimental, and non-judgmental guide in making your sexuality a central part of your spirituality.

In Goddess of Love Tarot: A Book and Deck for Embodying the Erotic Divine Feminine,  Gabriela guides you into the mysteries of the Divine Erotic, so you can learn specific tarot spreads to assist in connecting to the energy of love and lust, as well as how to work with the cards to create rituals, prayers, and devotional offerings to Goddess—and yourself. Through this deck and the Goddess of Love, come back to the body, the flesh, and the heart as your temple and most sacred source of power.

And in her latest offering Goddess Energy: Awakening the Divine Feminine through Myth and Magick, Gabriela distills 17-years of Goddess worship into an accesible guide for those new to working with the Divine Feminine and those who already are devoted to Her alike. This book traces the mythos and history of the Goddess, and includes magick and background on Her faces found around the world. This book guides readers into forming an intimate and personal relationship with the Goddess, and supports them in embodying Her, and living as Her. As with all of Gabriela’s work, Goddess Energy includes spells, rituals, affirmations, journal questions, tarot spreads, astrology, embodiment practices, sex magick, and so much more, allowing readers to vibrate in the frequency of the Goddess.
