Synopsis

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.

Are you into witchy things, even a little, even if your definition differs from others? Are you into intersectional feminism? What about resisting? Read. This. Book.

Goodreads review by Paige on August 16, 2019

This book is powerful, funny, and at times very sad. Though it’s not a practical guide on witchcraft, or even on danger, it shows you how those who are often the most marginalized in our society use ritual to harness their own personal power. It’s about 21 people from all over embracing who they are......more

2.5🌟 rounded up. Witchy ✅ Queer ✅ Disabled ✅ POC ✅ I should have loved this book—it’s exactly the kind of thing I usually enjoy. But, unfortunately, it just didn’t resonate with me, and if someone asked me what I remember about it, very little comes to mind. To be fair, some of the essays are better than......more
