A Woman’s Book of Choices by Carol Downer and Rebecca Chalker
A Woman’s Book of Choices: Abortion, Menstrual Extraction, RU-486 by Rebecca Chalker and Carol Downer is one of the most informative books I have ever read (and I read a lot of books). I learned more about my own reproductive organs, about abortion, and about birth control from this one book than I have from…

Rich white people aren’t sympathetic: a review of The Hunting Party by Lucy Foley
Hey guys, I’m aware that this isn’t really my usual type of content (not counting my short-lived attempt at book blogging, which actually started as a project for a journalism class), but I’m coming off my second week in a row of overtime while also trying to finish my bachelor’s degree and promote my new…

Currently Reading: White Rage
I just finished White Rage: The Unspoken Truth of Our Racial Divide by Carol Anderson. This isn’t the first book I’ve read about the history of systemic, anti-Black racism in the United States, but it is the most hard-hitting I’ve read so far. Anderson refutes the conventional narrative of linear progress towards racial equality that most Americans, myself…

What does it mean to be pagan? (Paganism 101 Ch. 1)
That’s right, y’all! With Baby Witch Bootcamp officially wrapped, it’s time to jump into our next long term series! I put out a poll on Patreon, and my patrons voted for Paganism 101 as our next series. While not all witches are pagan and not all pagans are witches, there is a lot of overlap…

How to Find Good Witchcraft Books (Baby Witch Bootcamp Ch. 4)
This post is loosely based on the fourth episode of my Baby Witch Bootcamp series on YouTube. In that video, I recommended some of my personal favorite books on witchcraft and spirituality. But, after some thought, I decided it would be more helpful to give y’all some guidelines for how to find worthy resources for…

A Must-Read Book for Ex-Mormons: Recovering Agency by Luna Lindsey (Review)
I do not use the phrase “must-read” lightly. There are very few books that I think every single person — or at least every single member of a given group — can benefit from. After all, we’re all different people with different intellectual, emotional, and spiritual needs. But I genuinely believe that every person who…

How Find Safe Groups, Teachers, and Authors in the Pagan and Witch Community
In my last post, I talked about how to recognize if a group is a cult or is using cult techniques to control its members. As I pointed out in that post, cults can be based on any ideology — including pagan spirituality or secular witchcraft. So now that we know how to identify the…

The Law of Attraction, Prosperity Gospel, and Other Ways of Controlling How People Think
In the words of Rhonda Byrne, who brought the Law of Attraction to popular consciousness with her book The Secret:“Life doesn’t just happen to you; you receive everything in your life based on what you’ve given.” Or, to put it even more bluntly: “You attract to you what you think about most.” At…
