Inhaltsangabe

In this enchanted sibling to the cult classic Modern Tarot, literary and tarot icon Michelle Tea returns to her magical roots, offering stories, little-known history, traditions, rituals, and spells for any modern witch seeking a deeper spiritual practice.

A self-described DIY witch and professional tarot reader, literary and feminist icon Michelle Tea provides a fascinating magical history and spiritual traditions from around the world, giving us the tools, spells, and rituals to navigate our stressed-out, consumer-driven lives. Witty, down-to-earth, and wise, she bewitches us with tales of how she crafted her own magical practice and came into her own. She also shares enchanting stories from her earliest witchy days as a goth teen in Massachusetts as well as insights from her adult practice. Modern Magic is a guide to queer spirituality that gives us the tools to tap into a stronger, distinctive magic that lies within us, one that incorporates feminist, anti-racist, and intersectional values. These include:

• Love Magic for the 21st century
• Hexes for when you really need them (and an exploration of magical ethics)
• Sleep Magic, from dream interpretation traditions to prophetic dreams
• Thoughts on why magic practice is spiritual practice

Michelle shares her truth and observations about the world around us as well as her vision for what it could be. For novice and seasoned witches alike, Modern Magic is the essential guide for defining and deepening a practice that aligns with our individual political and spiritual values.
