Becoming Dangerous
Witchy Femmes, Queer Conjurers, and Magical Rebels

The difference between the witch and the layperson is that witches already know they are powerful. The layperson may only suspect. Edgy and often deeply personal, the twenty-one essays collected here come from a wide variety of writers. Some identify as witches, others identify as writers, musicians, game developers, or artists. What they have in common is that they've created personal rituals to summon their own power in a world that would prefer them powerless. Here, they share the rituals they use to resist self-doubt, grief, and depression in the face of sexism, slut shaming, racism, patriarchy, and other systems of oppression.
