These writers make clear that as witches, femmes, and queers, they will use their own strength, ingenious rituals, beauty routines, and spells to rise above and beyond the limits of racism\/classism and objectifications set by a male-dominated society. While bound by a thread of magic, these are inspiring feminist writings for readers of feminist literature, however identified.\" --\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEdgy and often deeply personal, the twenty-one essays collected here come from a wide variety of writers. Some identify as witches, others identify as writers, musicians, game developers, or artists. What they have in common is that they've created personal rituals to summon their own power in a world that would prefer them powerless. Here, they share the rituals they use to resist self-doubt, grief, and depression in the face of sexism, slut shaming, racism, patriarchy, and other systems of oppression.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eContents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction \u003cbr\u003e Notes from the Editors \u003cbr\u003e Content Warning\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnfuckable--Cara Ellison\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ci\u003eTrash-Magic: Signs \u0026amp; Rituals for the Unwanted\u003c\/i\u003e--Maranda Elizabeth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ci\u003eUncensoring My Ugliness\u003c\/i\u003e--Laura Mandanas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ci\u003eFemme as in Fuck You: Fucking with the Patriarchy One Lipstick Application at a Time\u003c\/i\u003e--Catherine Hernandez\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ci\u003eBefore I Was a Woman, I Was a Witch\u003c\/i\u003e--Avery Edison\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ci\u003eUndressing My Heart\u003c\/i\u003e--Gabriela Herstik\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ci\u003eGarden\u003c\/i\u003e--Marguerite Bennett\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ci\u003eReddit, Retin-A, and Resistance: An Alchemist's Guide to Skincare\u003c\/i\u003e--Sam Maggs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ci\u003eThe Future is Coming for You\u003c\/i\u003e--Deb Chachra\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ci\u003eMy Witch's Sabbath of Short Skirts, Long Kisses, and BDSM\u003c\/i\u003e--Mey Rude\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ci\u003eBuzzcut Season\u003c\/i\u003e--Larissa Pham\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ci\u003eThe Harpy\u003c\/i\u003e--Meredith Yayanos\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ci\u003eFingertips\u003c\/i\u003e--merritt\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ci\u003eRed Glitter\u003c\/i\u003e--Sophie Saint Thomas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ci\u003eTouching Pennies, Painting Nails\u003c\/i\u003e--Sim Bajwa\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ci\u003eRitual in Darkness\u003c\/i\u003e--Kim Boekbinder\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ci\u003eGayuma\u003c\/i\u003e--Sara David\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ci\u003ePushing Beauty Up Through the Cracks\u003c\/i\u003e--Katelan Foisy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ci\u003eRitualising My Humanity\u003c\/i\u003e--J.
