4/5⭐ A collection of brief entries that pack a magical, resistance-inspiring punch. #bookspin

Witchcraft has been political ever since a witch decided to hold strong beliefs about what is right and what is wrong, regardless of what the institutions in power say.

It is only natural to see the new generation of Witchcraft evolving and reemerging as more feminist, queerer, browner, and more gender-fluid—because it is these folk who are being made to believe by those in political and spiritual power that they are misfit toys. It is the marginalized, and those who sympathize with them, who will bear the mantle of the Spirit of Witchcraft until they are no longer marginalized or oppressed.

[The existence of witches as defiers of the cultural attitudes of the overarching religion] also describes the development of Witchcraft traditions that are Earth-Centered practices in a world where we begin ignoring and destroying the Earth as a purely meaningless creation of a distant Creator.

This book focuses on Magic‘s political side, how it can be used in political resistance. I liked most of this book, but there was one spot that was a bit gross. Overall, I recommend this if you‘re into both magic and resistance, as it covers the topic well.
