From the first spell 17-year-old Amythyst cast in the basement of her grandmother's house, to the first tarot deck that called her name, she knew that her direction in life and her spiritual path would be unique and unconventional.

Her life has gone through numerous transformations, from care-free South Dakota horse woman, to home-schooling mother of seven, to first-time published author at 50. She went on to write ten more books, one becoming a best seller. She released her eleventh book in 2023.

Amythyst was born in Los Angeles CA, raised in South Dakota, transplanted in mid-life to Nebraska to rear six of her children, and in her 60s she migrated to Arizona and set up house 40 miles from Phoenix. As her life has proven, the transformations never end but keep evolving, there's new experiences around every corner, and life is a fresh and unpredictable adventure at every stage.

Amythyst Raine is a Best-Selling author of metaphysical books on tarot and intuitive reading, witchcraft, Wicca, paganism, women's mysteries, new-age spirituality, the pagan Goddess, gray magic, and green witchcraft.

Amythyst is also the author of a new book that is a whole new genre for her. It's all about relationships: "Chronicles of a Madd Housewife: It's Not You, It's Me", available @ Amazon.

She's been published by Rockridge Press; Moon Books (John Hunt Publishing); Dodona Books (John Hunt Publishing), Amazon & Pink Orchid Publishing; and Labyrinth House Publishing.

Amythyst is a happy heathen living among the ley lines of Arizona.

The Gray Witch's Grimoire

What makes this book unique? The world of the gray witch has been largely avoided, misrepresented, or glossed over with various books geared gingerly towards ‘protection magic’. These books, though informative and well written as they may be, have totally missed the spirit of the gray witch – who she really is, how she relates to the world of shadow and light, and exactly what she’s willing to do to stand her ground. In our society dark is automatically viewed as evil; and light is automatically viewed as ‘good’. We’re expected to live completely within one realm and to totally avoid the other. This creates imbalance and is a great injustice to the true spirit of the ancient wise woman. This book puts matters to right and gives the public a view of just what the gray witch is – and what she isn’t. The gray witch does not live in a world of chaos or unbridled black magic. She has a code of honor, a sense of propriety, and a relevance in today’s society.

Natural Magick the Gray Witch Way

Natural Magick the Gray Witch Way explores the magick and mystery of old world traditions from a unique perspective, that of the Gray Witch. While the modern world and everything in it are often viewed as either black or white, there are those magickal practitioners who recognize a more realistic normality ~ that shady gray area where the lines are blurred, and the adventuresome practitioners will discover that witchcraft can consist of power and justice, as well as love and peace. And in this realization comes an epiphany, one is not so different from the other. Natural Magick the Gray Witch Way is an excellent companion book to The Gray Witch’s Grimoire!

The Spiritual Feminist

"So many people throughout my life have told me who I am, what I must do, what I can't do, what I have to complete, and what I will never be able to accomplish, and then I met the Goddess." (From The Spiritual Feminist) ...The Spiritual Feminist empowers today's modern woman through the Goddess, connecting her to ancient matriarchal divinity and spiritual practices which invoke this energy.
