Book Release Party & Smash the Patriarchy Ritual
Join Phoenix LeFae, Ariel Gore and Dani Burlison for a night of witching and reading! Gather together to celebrate their newly released books: “What Is Remembered Lives: Developing Relationships with Deities, Ancestors & the Fae” (Phoenix), “Hexing the Patriarchy: 26 Potions, Spells, and Magical Elixirs to Embolden the Resistance” (Ariel), and “All of Me: Stories of Love, Anger and the Female Body” (Dani). We’ll channel anger into a ritual of resistance, along with wine, snacks, Goddesses, and books for sale too!
"Modern society places so much emphasis on the value of the physical that the power and beauty of the metaphysical is often forgotten. "What Is Remembered Lives" is a practical, accessible, and inspiring guide to rediscovering the spiritual forces intertwined with our human experience: deities, ancestors, spirits, and other kinds of liminal beings. Through the mirror of her own experiences, Phoenix provides a solid pattern that the reader can use as a guide to build divine and otherworldly relationships going forward on their path. This book is a welcomed tool for the Witch looking to explore the spirit world more intuitively." -Laura Tempest Zakroff
"It's time to conjure. Ariel Gore's “ Hexing the Patriarchy” is a call to arms--if by "arms" we mean hearts and guts and brains and twinkle parts against brutality. This book is about the spells, incantations, storytelling we need to bring ourselves back to life. This book is a magical field guide that will set the crap that needs to burn on fire, and compost the living shit out of the wrong world toward revolution, revelation, reformation and release. I'm all in.” —Lidia Yuknavitch
"Visceral, raw, and personal, “All of Me: Stories of Love, Anger and the Female Body” is the barbaric yawp of womanhood unrestrained. Ranging from the confessional to the call to action, this collection of deeply personal writings tears back the veil of womanhood to show the glorious and gritty guts of it all. Unfiltered, unadulterated, open; witness the wounds and the wisdom of what it means to be a woman today." --Lasara Firefox Allen
