Publisher's summary

A fiery, intersectional guide for activists and witches alike, Revolutionary Witchcraft is an empowered introduction to the history and practice of politically-motivated magic.

From the politically charged origins of the word "witch" to the present-day magical resistance, this bold handbook explores the role of witchcraft in our modern world. Author, activist, and practicing witch Sarah Lyons takes readers on a journey through a leftist history of magic - from the witch hunts of early modern England, through the Salem Witch Trials, and up to our present moment. Pairing mystical acts, including sigil magic and soul flight, with core organizing tactics, like power mapping and protests, Revolutionary Witchcraft offers a blueprint for building a politically grounded magical praxis.

From social justice to environmental activism, this radical reimagining of political activism addresses today's most pressing problems with empowering, inclusive rituals and magical actions. Each chapter introduces a key concept, like dreaming big, experiencing magical initiation, and joining the revolution, supported by a surprising historical case study on the power of mystical action. Full of actionable ideas for magical organizing, and an appendix packed with customizable spells, Revolutionary Witchcraft is the perfect companion for the magical uprising.

Not revolutionary

It’s okay. A fun take on contemporary surface level paganism. There is not much about actual activism or revolutionary anything other than wishful thinking=witchcraft.

Some good take-aways but pretty witch 101 overall.

I guess I thought there would be more to this. I don't know what I expected but I expected something more in depth and advanced than what this was. It wasn't a bad listen overall and there were a few good points that gave me a different perspective. But it's not anything that dazzled. I don't feel the need to keep this in my collection of witchy texts for future reference if that gives you an indication.
