Bending The Binary: Polarity Magic in a Non-Binary World - Deborah Lipp

Renowned author Deborah Lipp, joins me to discuss her newest book, Bending The Binary: Polarity Magic in a Non-Binary World.
Break polarity free from outmoded ideas of gender and heteronormativity while still celebrating its energy. This pioneering book explores polarity from many angles, examining its evolution throughout history, why it's important in the occult, and how it relates to identity and sexual orientation. Deborah Lipp shows you what it means to both include polarity magic and be inclusive.
Bending the Binary adds depth and nuance to polar concepts in magic, such as day and night, male and female, self and other. Deborah offers a third perspective on these opposites, inviting you to explore the space between them through rituals, journal prompts, and detailed research. She also teaches how to incorporate binary-bending practices into your personal magical system. This book encourages everyone to expand their perceptions and strengthen their magic.

Cait Johnson - Witch Wisdom for Magical Aging

Witch Wisdom for Magical Aging is a wise and playful guide to aging with a sense of magic and spirit, presided over by four loving, feisty old witches, one for each season: Root Witch in her cave by the roots, Winged Witch in her treehouse, Merwitch by the seaside bonfire, and Kitchen Witch in her river cottage. Every season is filled with wild wisdom, rich with simple formulas and recipes, inspiring rituals, playful activities, fun quizzes, meaningful meditations, and much, much more, empowering women to embrace their elder years with curiosity and verve.
Our culture is finally realizing that older women are a force for positive change. Now, Witch Wisdom for Magical Aging offers a cornucopia of ways to embrace and celebrate this challenging but ultimately liberating time.
Cait Johnson is the author of seven books honoring the seasons and the connections that underlie all life. Now that she’s over 60, aging is on her mind. Her latest book seeks to infuse the aging process with a sense of magic and is part of a movement to transform our culture’s ideas about older women.
Cait’s work combines earth-based sensibility, a shamanic worldview, and appreciation of ancient wisdom with poetry and a love for food, celebrating the sacredness in every day.
She holds an MFA in theatre design, is certified by the Institute of Transpersonal Psychology (now Sofia University), studied with shamanic practitioner Tom Cowan, and is a member emeritus of the Black Earth Institute, a progressive think tank dedicated to the integration of arts, environment, spirit, and social justice.
Before the pandemic, she wrote, directed, and performed in collaborative shamanic theatre pieces that explored transformation of consciousness through ritual, song, movement, and the spoken word.

Honoring the Wild with Irisanya Moon

Honoring the Wild: Reclaiming Witchcraft and Environmental Activism
Irisanya Moon (Practically Pagan) collects meditations on the Reclaiming Witchcraft tradition in this brief, inspiring anthology. Founded in the late 1970s, the Reclaiming tradition is based in “deep, spiritual commitment to the earth, to healing and to linking of magic with political action,” Moon writes. Short accounts from Reclamation witches weave a “tapestry of many different threads,” including tried-and-true advice for being environmentally conscious (buying secondhand clothes, using public transportation), discussions of “magical activism” (which takes the form of writing, storytelling, and organizing protests), and accounts of individuals’ experiences (using directed energy to help protect the California redwood forests during protests). Suggested rituals include an “Extinction Rebellion Ritual” (which involves speaking one’s demands into being in a group setting), while an annotated timeline highlights major moments in Reclamation history, from anti-nuclear demonstrations in 1976 New Hampshire to 2017’s Dakota Access Pipeline protests. Though the takes on activism will be familiar, the personal narratives evoke a raw earnestness and urgency that will encourage readers to do their part to protect the earth. Reclamation witches and those curious about the tradition will find value here. (Feb.)
