Modern Witchcraft books often fall into one of two camps: either they become overly complicated and buried beneath layers of theory, or they strip the Craft down until little mystery remains. Between the Horns by Elwynn Green manages to avoid both pitfalls, offering a path that feels grounded, challenging and deeply personal.

From the opening pages, Green makes it clear that this is not a book interested in handing readers a rigid system to follow. Instead, he encourages self-discovery, discipline and direct experience. His writing is direct, often witty and occasionally sharp-edged, but always engaging. Whether discussing perception, will, spirits, divination or the traditional Witch’s tools, he consistently returns to the idea that real power comes from knowing oneself and developing a meaningful relationship with the unseen world.

One of the book’s greatest strengths is its emphasis on practice. Exercises, reflections and hands-on techniques are woven throughout, giving readers opportunities to put concepts into action rather than simply reading about them. Green also has a gift for taking complex ideas and presenting them in a way that feels accessible without oversimplifying them.

The traditional Witchcraft current running through these pages is unmistakable, yet the book never feels trapped by dogma. Instead, it encourages curiosity, discernment and a willingness to question assumptions. That approach gives the work a refreshing sense of authenticity.

Between the Horns will appeal to readers looking for more than spell lists and correspondences. Thought-provoking, practical and rich with insight, it is a book that invites readers to step into the liminal spaces of the craft and discover what waits for them there.
