The Witch Studies Reader

"In this impressive compendium, materialists and spiritualists, cyborgs and goddesses alike will find much to chew on. Witches of all genders, unite!" - Sophie Lewis author of (Enemy Feminisms: TERFs, Policewomen, and Girlbosses Against Liberation) "The Witch Studies Reader is a must-have for scholars and practitioners of witchcraft, esotericism, and the metaphysical. The contributors go beyond the tropes of witches as rebels and recluses to examine the distinctive ways of knowing and being that manifest in their practices. Comprehensive in its scope and unapologetic in its feminist orientation, this volume is nothing less than an academic grimoire, conjuring vital new horizons for the transformative historical and ethnographic study of witchy things." - Elizabeth Pérez, author of (Religion in the Kitchen: Cooking, Talking, and the Making of Black Atlantic Traditions) "I'm thrilled to see witch studies getting its due, and I can't wait to read this long-overdue anthology of contributions by transnational witch-scholars sharing their feminism, diversity, wisdom, anti-colonialism and interdisciplinarity." - Karla J. Strand (Ms. Magazine)
