You read that correctly. The Preppy Witch Handbook is a basic witchcraft guide for anyone curious about the subject, but is too afraid of what the neighbors might think. It’s a project I’ve been working on for some years now, and only recently just launched a line of totes that Reginald is kindly allowing me to boost through the blog. The illustrations of The Preppy Witch Tarot are inspired by the ubiquitous Smith Rider-Waite deck, featuring American people or characters that are considered icons in the “preppy canon.” Each made-to-order tote has its own description, and all are available through my website, here. Some of you may know the joys of freelancing, so any purchase is a great way to keep the lights on while I work on publishing The Preppy Witch Handbook. The first draft is complete and I’m currently editing the proposal, so please let me know if any of you out there work in publishing. Otherwise, keep an eye on my Instagram and Substack for updates on this project.
