In May 2023, I self-published another book associated with my counselling work.

With Blake from Crossed Crow Books at the Tintagel Book Launch March 2024.

 

Release of my first book, December 2022.

My spiritual journey has been a fascinating one that I wanted to share with you. It includes the paths I researched and experienced, some of the people I met and the influences around me. Most importantly it relates the story of my connection with Cornwall and my search for the Old Craft that led me here.

“My journey has been a ‘roller-coaster,’ and I thought it necessary to include the obstacles and challenges I faced as…oh boy…do the ‘powers that be’ test you on how much you really want this…particularly in Cornwall!
I have also included the rewards and wonderful things that have occurred, as they far outweigh any negative experiences.
This book is full of magic and mystical adventure. Please read on and let me take you on this extraordinary journey.”
Laetitia Latham Jones , from the introduction of Be Careful What You Wish For.

Feedback Book 2: 

“I’ve just finished book 2, did not want it to end! Thank you Laetitia, such a journey and with so many challenges which were all met with dignity and honesty. So many words resonated with me, and ones which I have absolutely recognised as sound advice for keeping myself at a safe distance for my own peace of mind. Looking forward to book 3 (hopeful here!), thank you. 5 ***** rating!” C.S.

“Your second book is powerful. You have a very different voice than in your first book. Both are truly amazing.” A.A 

Marvellous!!

“An amazing account of Laetitia’s journey into the Craft. This is the second of two books that brings us up to date. No, cagey, vague story of weekend goths and casual wannabes, this is a true account of life with a foot in both worlds and it can be a tricky business being this committed and open, but then nothing worth having comes easy. Laetitia shows how rewarding it can be if you are willing to live with both eyes wide open and speak honestly. Being a witch or wise woman comes at a price which is so much trickier when you don’t know at the outset what that may be. But then, we don’t know either, how great the rewards may be when we seek truth with humility. I can’t recommend this highly enough. Laetitia’s style of writing is both frank and honest, a remarkable memoir.” Amazon Review.

“Thank you for sharing your experiences with us, your books teach us how to deal with our own lights and shadows !! There is no light if there is no shadow !! Book Two is amazing , as intense as this first one !!! READ them BOTH !!!” M.M.

Powerful, Compelling Reading

“The author writes powerfully and with a searing honesty. A deeply human book it has been a privilege to read. Highly recommended.” S.W.

“Amazon delivered my copy last week and I had read it by next day, couldn’t put it down. Really enjoyed it ❤️” H.R.

“I had a very emotional and wonderful time reading your book. Thank you for sharing your story with us, your path is intense and rich with knowledge. I thank you for a beautiful moment by your side while reading your words !” M.M.

Feedback Book 1:

“Amazing Book, and an Incredibly moving journey. xxx 💖” H.R.

“I can’t wait for the second book, the first one was great, really enjoyed it. I found it interesting to read how Laetitia came from a family of strict spirituality and had to sacrifice that in order to follow her own path to happiness and fulfilment. I admire her strength & dedication and cannot wait till March for the next part.” L.N.

“I am so proud of this fine woman’s work!” Byron Ballard – Appalachian Wisewoman.

“I read this book in two nights a really interesting journey. It is very well written and easy to read and I’m looking forward to the next book” K.R

“Yay can’t wait for the second book. Loved the first book. Very Insightful and made me think a lot. Still think I want to be a solitary practitioner.” J.R.

“Read this book in two days. Found it fascinating from beginning to end. Can’t wait to read the next one. Very well written and informative. Such an interesting journey you’ve been on so far. Thanks for sharing it with us.” M.B.

“Hi Laetitia- I have now finished your book. I respect and admire your bravery to break away and plough your own furrow.  You seem to be very committed in following your beliefs and as I said to my wife you seem quite a girl – one day it would be nice to meet. As I read I saw a woman seeking a spirituality that she felt comfortable with and committing herself to heavy study. I also felt a deferentially to senior members of any of the groups which apparently was not always appreciated – your commitment to stay the course was impressive”. R.E. 

“I look forward to part 2! I found reading about your journey is proof of when there is strong intent, amazing things happen, not within minutes, but in due time. Loved reading how it all unfolded.” T.R.

“I have already read Cassandra’s book, so Laetitia’s new book was an absolute joy to behold! I was so excited and as soon as I started, I couldn’t put it down! I love the flow of the book; it is easy to read and Laetitia has a way of allowing the magic and the mundane to blend and separate in a way where one can understand the life story and see the connections within the book. It is incredible; the strength and fortitude Laetitia had within her to navigate the religious zealots, break away, follow her heart and discover her magic and in turn, other like minded people that accepted her! It was an absolute joy and pleasure to read and am happy to share it to others. Highly recommended.” E.S.

“Received my book 😍 can’t put it down what a brilliant interesting read ..love it !” M.P.

“I have just finished reading Be Careful What You Wish For and wow I can not wait for the second book !!! ❤️ It is amazing and what a journey! It could easily have been larger and I would still want to read much more. It has really made me think a lot about my own journey and about my magical practice  I can see so much of my own life in the book and I am so grateful that you, Laetitia, have shared so much of your life. I highly recommend the book and so sad that I have finished reading it. Such an amazing journey that you took me and other readers on, thank you so much” N.P.

A Wisewoman’s Journey into Self-Discovery

“Laetitia Latham-Jones, with her years of experience and knowledge, takes the reader through her personal journey, a journey that sees the author go from a strict, religious upbringing to a life as a witch and wisewoman of Cornwall. While the path may not always have been a smooth one, it led to a life of magic and gods, of chants and rituals, and ultimately, one of fulfilment through the Craft. This book is for anyone needing the inspiration to take big risks and explore their spirituality.”

Magic in the Making

“As Laetitia recounts the events of her life, she shares with the reader the many things she learned from her occult groups and teachers. Stories of sabbats, festivals, and circles cast among friends are peppered throughout the book’s pages. In Be Careful What You Wish For, the reader is able to get a glimpse into Egyptian, Alexandrian, and Gardnerian practices through the eyes of the author, introducing these classic traditions to a new audience.”

Breaking Through to a Higher Self

“Be Careful What You Wish For: From Cult to Occult is ultimately a story of survival, of becoming who you truly are, and recognizing that sometimes the status quo is too small a box to fit our grand higher selves into. Laetitia Latham-Jones’ deeply personal memoire is a tale that reminds us to keep persevering, that practice and patience will pay off in due time. For the dreamers and the downtrodden, this book is an inspiring tale of self-discovery, empowerment, and a journey home.”

“You need to stop writing books, I’m supposed to be sleeping but you’re keeping me up reading instead! 💤😴🥱 What a fab read.”
