Description

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 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 gives us the tools to tap into a stronger, distinctive magic that lies within us, one that incorporates queer, feminist, anti-racist, 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.

Practical, doable, and fun. This book had a bit of everything. I enjoyed the down-to-earth approach to witchcraft and how inclusive Tea was as she was writing. A great starter volume!

Michelle Tea did with this book what no other author has managed to do: make me feel like I can really do magic and have it matter for myself in my life, without some kind of twee cottage-core existence. After this I will for sure read her tarot book as well. I absolutely loved learning about the historical witches she writes about as well.
