Weber’s voice serves as an intimate guide through the tangled underbrush of grief. This book resonates with the authenticity that can only come from someone who has known loss as a witch knows the earth—deeply and reverently….Weber doesn’t just share her journey and insight; she provides tangible anchors such as spells, rituals, prayers, and exercises designed to foster healing, enable grieving, channel justifiable rage into constructive action, and maintain a sacred connection with those we’ve lost…Sacred Tears stands as a source of solace and kinship for those dealing with grief.
Weber wrote Sacred Tears, a book filled with wisdom, practical advice, spells, and more, for those of us who need support but don’t follow a mainstream spiritual path….While there are plenty on the topic of grief, none aligned with my spiritual practice. Courtney’s personal stories are heart-wrenching, but they help connect her story to the practices—and to us, the readers and members of the witchcraft community.
Once in a great while, a book comes along at just the right time. Sacred Tears is that book. Between its covers readers will find wisdom, authority, vulnerability, and courage. Amidst the helpful mix there are unique takeaways in the form of rituals, stories, and practices. This book is significant and much-needed. Get it, read it and gift it—use it to ease one of our most challenging passages of life.
Words are magic and Witches know that when they need it, the right book always arrives. With compassion and hard-earned wisdom, Courtney has transmuted her own deep grief into a gift for all who are suffering the sorrows of loss. She offers wise words and heartfelt rites to help us grow larger hearts around the holes that are inevitable when we love.
This is the book I wish I had when my father died. It’s raw, poignant, sensitive, and most importantly, the magic in here works!
Weber has done a phenomenal job of sharing her personal pain and journey through grief, while opening a portal for us to heal, when sadness and loss seeps into our lives, through the passing of loved ones or the end of beloved relationships.
Weber connects with vulnerability and her deep Witch wisdom. She shares what she’s been through in words, both powerful and raw….She takes your hand to guide you through spells and rituals to process, acknowledge, heal, and then stand strong in your own power. Sacred Tears is a treasure of a book that helps us to process and honor grief as Witches.
