About the Author
Dr. Angela Puca is an academic and university lecturer, with a PhD in Religious Studies on Italian Witchcraft and Shamanism. Her research focuses on magic, witchcraft, Paganism, esotericism, shamanism, and related fields. Through her YouTube channel and podcast, Angela's Symposium, she brings her knowledge of magic and witchcraft to a wide audience.
Cinthya Álvarez likes to draw, although she also likes movies, aliens, vampires, literature, elves, cats and dogs, talking to animals, crazy fashion, bad manners, castles, spaceships, going to the flea market and taking long walks. But when she's not enjoying that, you'll almost certainly catch her drawing. Cinthya previously illustrated Dragons for Neon Squid.Product Information
