"Appalachian folk magic and conjure are little known today, but forty or fifty years ago, just about every person you might ask in Appalachia either knew something about it themselves or knew someone who did it.

How can you learn the ways of conjuring for yourself? This book answers those questions and more"--

Here, the author has created a fortune-telling deck fashioned after the folklore, superstitions, and dream symbols that he grew up with in Western North Carolina"

"Kuan Yin is the most ubiquitous Chinese deity-and the most loved.

"The author was one of the founders of modern-day witchcraft. This is her 'Book of Shadows,' what they used to call a grimoire, or 'Book of Spells.'

The root chakra is our connection to the earth and to humanity at large.

It helps us reconnect with the earth and primal energies with powerful, easy-to-use methods of guided meditation, affirmation, visualization, breathing, and physical movements"--
"Witchcraft has always belonged to the outsiders and outcasts in society, yet so much of the practice enforces and adheres to the same hierarchy we are faced with in the world at large-a hierarchy that isolates and hurts those living beyond society's binaries and boundaries. Until now there has not been a book that specifically addresses the practice of queer magick from an LGBTQ+ standpoint. This book combines queer aesthetic and culture with Pagan and metaphysical spiritual practice in a way that is commonplace in practice but previously not written about-and covers the personal, the collective, the political, and how deeply intertwined all three are in a magickal practice for those who are LGBTQ+"--

"Part history, part 'armchair' travelogue, Witch hunt is a captivating guide to the historic witch hunts and how their legacy continues to impact us today. Traveling through cities and sites across Italy, France, Germany, Ireland, the United Kingdom, and the United States, Kristen J. Sollâee, a second generation witch herself, explores the witch as a figure of female power and persecution. By infusing an adventurous first-person narrative with extensive research and imaginative historical fiction. Witch hunt captures the magic of travel to make an often-overlooked period of history come alive. Between the 15th-17th centuries, a confluence of political, economic, and religious factors inspired witch hysteria to ignite like wildfire across Europe, and later, parts of America. At the heart of the witch hunts were often dangerous misconceptions about femininity and female sexuality and women were disproportionately punished as a result. Today, this lineage of oppression remains an important reference point through which we can contemplate women's rights, and human rights, in the Western world and beyond. Witch hunt isn't only an exploration of the horrors of history, but also uncovers how the archetype of the witch has been rehabilitated. For witches are not just haunting figures of the past: the witch is also a liberatory icon and identity of the present"--Provided by publisher.
