“The Crafty Witch’s Guide to Cord Magic is a truly enchanting book. Artist and author Loren Morris shows how simple cord magic can evolve into breathtaking, multi-layered works of art—rich with symbols, charms, herbs, ribbons, and sacred intent. Whether you’re braiding protection into a beautiful hanging piece or knotting prosperity with cinnamon sticks and golden threads, this book shares a deeply meditative, creative, and powerful practice.”

“A must-have for Pagan crafters. The Crafty Witch’s Guide to Cord Magic offers a treasure trove of skills beyond tying knots and serves as a symbol-rich guide for the crafty witch. It provides step-by-step instructions for various cords and enough knowledge for personal creations, making it a valuable addition to my Pagan craft book collection.”
—Opal Luna, author of Fiber Magick and The Fiber Magick Garden Grimoire

“For years, Loren Morris crafted spell cords for our shop, Hex. In an era where magical talent has been traded for the bland aesthetic of TikTok, cord magic revives one of the oldest forms of witchcraft. Morris reminds us that witchcraft is indeed a craft—one that requires real work and magical will. From simple braids and bindrunes to deity devotionals, from love and prosperity spells to hexing and reversal workings, Loren weaves together the rituals, ingredients, and timing that empower each cord to become a living spell.”
—Christian Day, author of The Witches’ Book of the Dead, coproprietor of Hex in Salem and New Orleans

“The Crafty Witch’s Guide to Cord Magic reveals cord magic as it truly is: an ancient, cross-cultural system of binding, shaping, and directing intention through form. Drawing from a wide range of traditions, this book weaves together folklore, history, and practical magic into a cohesive and deeply informed body of work. From the symbolic power of knots and braids to the integration of runes, tarot, and ritual objects such as feathers, bells, and keys, each element is explored not as an isolated technique, but as part of a living magical language. I have witnessed Loren’s talent in magical work, and the depth in her book reflects years of careful study, sustained practice, and meticulous refinement. More than a guide, this book traces a path of practice and perception, moving from working with magic to understanding how it is woven.”
—Rita Digilova, founder of LaPulia Book of Shadows

“The Crafty Witch’s Guide to Cord Magic is a gem. It is a very rich tapestry: a solid historical overview describing a variety of traditions from all over the globe. Most of it is new to me and very original, including an interesting section on the folklore and use of feathers from diverse birds. This book weaves together runes and tarot into a unified whole of cording magick, very Nornic and Frigga-ish.”
—Freya Aswynn, author of Walking with Wodan and Northern Mysteries and Magick
