Are you seeking a spiritual path that blends your love of the Earth, your yearning for magick, and your commitment to justice? Are you curious to know how collective power can change not only ourselves but also our world? Do you want to heal the damage that patriarchy does and then step into your power? Feminist Witchcraft is waiting for you. Across history, witchcraft has been about power - and our world needs empowered people more than ever. This book is here to guide your journey towards a more embodied, politically informed, authentic life. Tapping into our personal and communal power is transformational - both in caring for ourselves and each other and in using our collective will to create a more just and equitable world for all.

Arguing that witchcraft is inherently political, and that politics is about power, this gem of a book explores the many implications of a truly inclusive, feminist approach to witchcraft. Powerfully written, the author engages with the history and theory of feminist theology and Feminist Craft in a way that is accessible to all. I found myself, as a queer woman and thealogian, feeling affirmed and inspired on every page. ~ Kelle BanDea, M.Div, D.Min, author of 'Modron; Meeting the Celtic Mother Goddess
As an initiate in a witchcraft tradition rooted in feminism (and mentioned in this book), I was eager to read "Feminist Witchcraft" by Susan Harper. This book begins with the history of goddess spirituality movements and the complexity of defining 'one way' to practice. The following chapters expand beyond cis-focused early writings and beliefs to include and embrace nonbinary, transgender, and other identities in modern spaces. I appreciated the emphasis on feminist witchcraft as relational and political, helping readers see the value in non-hierarchical thinking. For those tired of the patriarchy's influence, “Feminist Witchcraft” can help dismantle that thinking while providing guidance for rituals, spellwork, and activism to inspire change within and without. ~ Irisanya Moon, Reclaiming Witch and author of Artemis: Goddess of the Wild Hunt and Sovereign Heart, Circe: Goddess of Sorcery, Hestia: Goddess of Hearth, Home, and Community, and many others
This is the book we have all been waiting for! Feminism and Witchcraft have been linked together since the early seventies’ feminist movements in the US and UK. Today the long-awaited spotlight has finally thrown its truthful glare on the genocide of women during the so-called witchcraft trials in the middle ages - women now are proud to call themselves witches, - thanks largely to the feminist movement. But, how can you unite the largely political ideology of feminism, and the spiritual path witchcraft into a sacred practice? In her book, Susan examines both elements of the title in detail; exploring ways to incorporate traditional elements of witchcraft, such as spell craft and ritual, with political action and in doing so, starts healing the wounds of patriarchy. A well-crafted and researched book, which clearly illuminates Susan Harper as a powerful advocate for the modern witch. ~ Thea Prothero, author of A Guide to Pilgrimage
