"Queering Your Craft: Witchcraft from the Margins" by Cassandra Snow
"Witchcraft has always belonged to the outsiders and outcasts in society, yet so much of the practice enforces and adheres to the same hierarchy we face in the world at large—a hierarchy that isolates and hurts those living beyond society’s binaries and boundaries. While there are books that address magick for resistance and queer myth, until now there has not been one that specifically addresses the practice of queer magick from an LGBTQ+ standpoint. Queering Your Craft combines queer aesthetic and culture (like DIY culture and an emphasis on chosen family over formal covens) with pagan and metaphysical spiritual practice in a way that is commonplace but has not been written about until now.

“Queering the Tarot” by Cassandra Snow

Magick Matters ,
"Queering the Tarot" by Cassandra Snow
Queering the Tarot Tarot is best used as a tool for self-discovery, healing, growth, empowerment, and liberation. Tarot archetypes provide the reader with a window into present circumstances and future potential. But what if that window only opened up on a world that was white, European, and heterosexual? The interpretations of the tarot that have been passed down through tradition presuppose a commonality and normalcy among humanity.

"Lost Worlds: What Have We Lost And Where Did It Go?" by Michael Bywater
"Things once thought immortal suddenly aren’t there at all. They go. They vanish. People. Civilizations. Languages. Philosophies. Works of art disappear, species are extinguished, books are lost. Dunwich is drowned, Pompeii buried, Athena's statue gone from the Parthenon, Suetonius's Lives of the Great Whores gone the way of the Roman Empire. Whole libraries of knowledge, galleries of secrets. Gone. Little things, too. Train compartments. Snuff, galoshes, smog. Your mother's perfume. Our culture, our knowledge and all our lives are shadows cast by what went before. We are defined not by what we have but by what we have lost along the way. And so, Lost Worlds is a glossary of the missing, a cabinet...>>

“Predict Your Future: Understand the Cycles of the Cosmic Clock” by Elizabeth Clare Prophet

"Predict Your Future: Understand the Cycles of the Cosmic Clock" by Elizabeth Clare Prophet
"As we look at the universe around us, we see a rhythm to all of life. We discover that all things move in cycles. The law of cycles governs both the spiritual and material universes, for our world is a reflection of the world beyond, of higher realms, of spiritual dimensions. In this groundbreaking work, Elizabeth Clare Prophet shows how you can apply the law of cycles to your own life through a science known as the Cosmic Clock. This science will help you chart the cycles of your karma, the cause-and-effect sequences in your life, just as it will allow you to map the inner dimensions of your dharma, your duty to fulfill your...>>
