Deborah Blake

Deborah Blake lives in a more than one hundred forty year old farmhouse in upstate New York, a detail she references often in her own author biography alongside the cats she describes as supervising her work. She is the author of nineteen books on modern witchcraft published chiefly through Llewellyn Worldwide, a long established publisher of occult and pagan titles, including Circle, Coven And Grove, Everyday Witch A To Z, The Goddess Is In The Details and Witchcraft On A Shoestring, alongside three paranormal romance and urban fantasy series for Berkley and a separate cozy mystery series centered on a pet rescue.

Her tarot and oracle work extends her Everyday Witch brand into card decks, including the Everyday Witch Tarot, the Everyday Witch Oracle and the Everyday Witch's Familiars Oracle, which apply an approachable, humor inflected take on witchcraft practice to divination rather than the more ceremonial or occult styling common in older tarot decks.

Blake regularly presents at LlewellynCon, the publisher's own conference, on topics including working with deity and building a personal book of shadows. Her body of work, spanning both nonfiction witchcraft instruction and genre fiction from the same publisher and imprint family over roughly two decades, makes her one of the more prolific living authors writing specifically for a practicing pagan and witchcraft audience rather than a general New Age readership.

Deborah Blake maintains an ongoing public presence beyond her published books: she keeps a blog, Writing the Witchy Way, and a Patreon, an ongoing direct relationship with readers built between book releases rather than the fixed publication schedule of her nineteen Llewellyn titles and her genre fiction series for Berkley alone, giving readers a way to follow her practice and her writing across the gaps a traditional book schedule leaves open.

Her nonfiction catalog extends past the handful of titles most associated with her name into further instructional work, including The Eclectic Witch's Book of Shadows and Llewellyn's Little Book of Spellcraft, both published through the same Llewellyn Worldwide imprint that carries her core witchcraft line, rounding out a body of witchcraft instruction wider than any single flagship title suggests.

Her card decks, the Everyday Witch Tarot and Everyday Witch Oracle, carry artwork by illustrator Elisabeth Alba, crediting a second creative collaborator behind the visual identity of Blake's Everyday Witch brand, the same approachable, humor inflected style that distinguishes her cards from the more ceremonial or occult styled tarot and oracle decks common elsewhere in modern witchcraft publishing, a single illustrated identity that now spans both her card decks and her instructional book line.
