A guide to invocations, rituals, and histories at the intersection of magic and feminism, as informed by history's witches--and the sociopolitical culture that gave rise to them. When you start looking for witches, you find them everywhere. As seekers and practitioners reclaim and restore magic to its rightful place among powerful forces for social, personal, and political transformation, more people than ever are claiming the identity of "Witch." But our knowledge of witchcraft and magic has been marred by erasure, sensationalism, and sterilization, the true stories of history's witches left untold. Through meditations, stories, and practices, authors Risa Dickens and Amy Torok offer an intersectional, contemporary lens for uncovering and reconnecting with feminist witch history. Sharing traditions from all over the world--from Harlem to Haiti, Oaxaca to Mesopotamia--Missing Witches introduces readers to figures like Monica Sjoo, HP Blavatsky, Maria Sabina, and Enheduanna, shedding light on their work and the cultural and sociopolitical contexts that shaped it. Structured around the 8 sabbats of the Wheel of the Year, each chapter includes illustrations by Amy Torok, as well as invocations, rituals, and offerings that incorporate the authors' own wisdom, histories, and journeys of trauma, loss, and empowerment. Missing Witches offers an inside look at the vital stories of women who have practiced--and lived--magic.

Almost everyone has had a moment when they've felt a connection to an animal. Animal communicator Marta Williams says this is the basis of animal communication and it's a skill anyone can develop. Williams's background as a scientist informs her logical step-by-step approach to learning the "language" of animals — a process combining mental imagery, visualization, deep listening, and tuning in to one's intuition. Practical advice and proven techniques are interwoven with inspiring real-life accounts. Williams also discusses ways to use these skills to find lost animals, help animals heal from injury or illness, and explore similar deep connections with nature and the earth.

According to ancient records, the patriarchs and founders of the early civilisations in Egypt, India, China, Peru, Mesopotamia, Britain and the Americas were colonised by the Serpents of Wisdom who arrived in these lands after abandoning their beloved homelands and crossing great seas. While bearing names denoting snake or dragon, these Serpents of Wisdom oversaw the construction of magnificent civilisations within which they and their descendants served as the priest kings and as the enlightened heads of mystery school traditions. This book recounts the history of these 'Serpents' and why they are returning now.
