  “Marla Brooks has crafted a down-to-earth collection of Witch Wisdom. The inclusion of Great-Grandma Sophie’s witchy tips adds a charming touch, making the reader feel as though they are receiving teachings from a trusted elder.” —Jason Miller, author of Consorting with Spirits and other works   Explore the seasons of the witch by way of magickal spells and practices for each turn of the Wheel of the Year. Magick for All Seasons offers a fresh approach to a lifestyle that focuses on mind, body, and spirit in the nature-based way that our ancestors practiced throughout the ages.   Each season is marked by a series of holy days, or sabbats, to honor the qualities of each time of the year, life’s lessons as revealed through nature, and our relationship with the god and goddess. These holy days are divided into Greater Sabbats and Lesser Sabbats which reflect the themes of birth, death, and rebirth. The spokes of the Wheel are comprised of the four Greater and four Lesser Sabbats.  “The biggest takeaway from the Wheel of the Year is that your life will ebb and flow just as plants drop their seeds, grow, lose their leaves, die in winter, and grow back again. Your life experiences all of the seasons in the human way.” —from the foreword by Lorriane Anderson   Starting with Samhain, author Marla Brooks, an experienced and longtime magickal practitioner, explores the eight Wiccan and Pagan sabbats that comprise the traditional Wheel of the Year. She incorporates original spells, recipes, incantations, meditations, and more that enhance the magick of each season. Each sabbat is detailed with information on the symbolism, activities, tools, incense, and gemstones used, along with specific workings and exercises.

  We Become What We Normalize -...

  From one of the most respected thinkers and public intellectuals of our day comes a book that is both a cultural critique of the state of our country and a robust summons to resist complicity. As we move through the world, we constantly weigh our conscience against what David Dark calls "deferential fear"—going along just to get along, especially in relation to our cultural, political, and religious conversations. Dark reveals our compromised reality: the host of hidden structures and tacit social arrangements that draw us away from ourselves and threaten to turn us slowly into what we decry in others. 
   
   
   
  We Become What We Normalize counsels a creative, slow, and artful response to the economy of reaction, hurry, shaming, and fearmongering. Dark offers a deep analysis of the ways our conceptions of ourselves and our use of technology often lead us away from what we believe, reinforcing the false narrative that we must humiliate others in order to survive. "I suspect we become what we sit still for, what we play along with, and what we abide in our attempts to access more perceived power and more alleged influence," Dark writes. We Become What We Normalize calls for a new kind of struggle, ethic, witness, and spirit that helps us step away from the infinite loop of normalizing harm into effecting true change for ourselves and the worlds we inhabit.
