Laws, science, nature, policy, equity, inclusion, and freedom are being challenged more than ever. It can be easy to get wrapped up in the veil of “purchasing power,” wanting or needing to buy the “right” tool for your magical tradition. \u003ci\u003eNew Moon Magic\u003c\/i\u003e helps you understand why this isn’t so, how this belief only soils the freedoms we all should enjoy, and how to get results while respecting the traditions of fellow healers, artists, and writers, from all different cultures and experiences. Risa and Amy give you an introduction with tools, stories, and substantial reference points on and for each tool, by those who are in and not in our community of healers. There is something for you in here. Whether you enjoy ritual, nature, geometry, poems, chants, or just want to learn more, you can find what you are looking for or store away the information in a book of shadows or vlog for later. The authors’ truth comes honestly as they tell you about their own lives in ritual and supported by ritual. This helps you to see for yourself the true life of a practitioner—in times of mourning, joy, doubt, hope, and need.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book is a call to action for those who want to be change agents without increasing the chasm between the social and political. I say this as a coven member, a Patreon contributor, a guest on the \u003ci\u003eMissing Witches\u003c\/i\u003e podcast, and a fan of their first book. As a practitioner of my own beliefs, I can attest to this book’s wisdom and that it can be used by and shared with any magical tradition. The guidance is gentle—like a friend pulling you aside to share a great secret—but comes with backbone and research behind it. Research that is shared and bared from activists, authors, educators, practitioners, and healers from many other walks of life in addition to Witches. The tools themselves are as vast as the stories that are interwoven in the journey through the text. Bodies, tarot, art, needles, knives, geometry, journaling, poetry, brooms, crayons, and so on. Even though I do not practice in the same way as Risa and Amy, I can use these thirteen tools in a way that is familiar to me, respectful of my needs and ways, without diluting the message. I can’t wait for you to experience this book for yourself and to learn and grow in your practice and join the cause of resistance to capitalism.\"\u003cbr\u003e—Sherry Shone, author of \u003ci\u003eThe Hoodoo Guide to the Bible\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eHoodoo for Everyone\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003eDickens and Torok are authors of \u003ci\u003eMissing Witches\u003c\/i\u003e and hosts of the \u003ci\u003eMissing Witches\u003c\/i\u003e podcast. In books, conversations, and magic circles, they continually ask what stories and ideas have been erased by the whitewashing, commodification, and global persecution of Witches and other magical practitioners and seek ways to practice without perpetuating colonial violence.","brand":"North Atlantic Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46301680173285,"sku":"NP9781623177904","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9781623177904.jpg?v=1767733665","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/products\/new-moon-magic-isbn-9781623177904","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
