Hexing the Patriarchy

"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, and 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."

"Employing fierce metaphysics, creativity, humor, and pure badass conjuring, Ariel Gore's magical, majestic Hexing the Patriarchy is a practical field guide to fixing what's wrong the world, one earth-loving, mama-empowering, patriarchy-squashing hex at a time. Just holding this book in my hands makes me feel giddy with hope."

"Ariel Gore has given us . . . the tools and the nerve to be magic. Her cauldron is for every stepped-on and marginalized being to add to and shine on. Gore knows that in the collective we are free from our masters--while one can be free in their mind, those who actualize their potential as a tribe might save what's left of our world. Hexing the Patriarchy is an anti-fascism tool that belongs in our feminist libraries and medicine chests to aid what ails you through this fight."

"I endorse Ariel Gore's book, which covers everything from wholesome light witchcraft for health to what you gotta do to punch your enemy in the throat. The spell I most needed, and used, was 'Be Your Own Muse.' If you've ever been a muse to an m-a-n, especially a certain bass player, you know what fresh hell it was. Thank you, Ariel Gore."

"We have needed this book for centuries! Ariel Gore, in all her witchy-smart goodness, will inspire you, bolster you, lift you up, remind you who you are, and show you how to find your power in a world that is constantly trying to keep you from having it. And, she does so in a way that is good-natured and endlessly fun to read. I expect to pick up this book and practice the spells throughout the rest of my life -- unless all of you buy this book and do the spells with me, and we collectively do away with patriarchy for good."

"This alphabetized witch primer had me at 'B: binding spells for grabby assholes'!"
