what witchcraft, occult, paganism books are we reading these days?

Currently reading The Path of the Hedge Witch by Joanna van der Hoeven. Next on my reading list are Devoted to You; Honoring Deity in Wiccan Practice by Judy Harrow a reread of The Spiral Dance, and Queen of All Witcheries: A Biography of the Goddess by Jack Chanek which just came out.

An intermediate book about deepening relationship to deity? But it's focused on deity as archetypes? I need to hear your thoughts after you complete Devote to You. I've been considering a reread of Draw Down the Moon, but I am craving modern inspiration for practice. Queen of all Witcheries sounds fascinating and informative.

I need you to know, @logarithmicpanda, that I ended up picking up The Last Sun because I saw your activity on GoodReads lol

Good call. I'm invested and NEED Hanged Man.

Yes great series. The Hourglass Throne destroyed me emotionally.

Totally not nervous to be emotionally wrecc'd

Okay but what I love about this series is that it has some truly dark shit, but also so much love and care that it never feels gratuitous

i'm only a few pages into hanged man, but yeah. and the dark shit is very respectfully explored as themes. i did have to step back my recommendation of the series to a friend because i realized how heavily some themes are explored and that it would likely be incredibly triggering for them

Each author on this list either because either they, their work, or their practice is misleading, appropriative, harmful, biased, bigoted, misogynist, racist, etc. Each of these authors have published media that is harmful to our community, or were a part of organizations that are. Several practitioners still live and/or practice based off of a lot of these materials. Several of these authors are known for producing media that is intended for newer witches, which just propagates and sustains harmful narratives within our community. Many of these authors are Wiccan, but why that is an issue will be for another article. The names highlighted in red are either especially harmful or very prevalent.

A blacklist of authors is intended to highlight problematic individuals, and/or problematic publications. Unless otherwise stated, the authors in this list should be avoided until a level of discernment is acquired through experience and research. Personally, I’d recommend avoiding all Theosophy publications completely.

anyone else relate far too hard to a neurotic, anxious roomba? Or is that just me Anyway, above all else, be brave!  (sticker and such)

The Oleander Sword shattered my heart in the best way, but truly nothing can beat the waterfall scene in The Jasmine Throne 🌿🌺
