BTW 84: New Moon Magic with Risa Dickens and Amy Torok

Between the Worlds Podcast

In which we discuss magical practices for the New Moon (and all moons), reasons to re-enchant your world, witchcraft as an anti-capitalist practice, ways to work with the rhythms of nature that don't require you to add one more thing to your to-do list, and advice for baby witches from some wise witches of the North. Special guests today are Amy Torok and Risa Dickens of the Missing Witches podcast (you're going to love them!); they've just come out with their second book "New Moon Magic: 13 Tools for Resistance and Re-enchantment". We love their work and we know you will too, join us!

FIND OUT MORE ABOUT OUR GUESTS: AMY TOROK AND RISA DICKENS

Amy Torok and Risa Dickens are witches, artists, activists, and perpetual students living out in the woods on unceded Anishinaabe territory, in Quebec, Canada. They host the podcast, Missing Witches where they research true histories – and interview real practitioners – of Witchcraft and other occulted practices. They learn from artists, poets, academics, and activists who are conjuring better possible worlds. They're dedicated to creating an intersectional, feminist history of ideas; sharing marginalized ideas about what’s POSSIBLE; and helping to build communities of care with other magical beings. They've also written two books, Missing Witches: Reclaiming True Histories of Feminist Magic and New Moon Magic: 13 Anti-Capitalist Tools for Resistance and Re-enchantment, and run a magical community, which is trans-inclusive, anti-racist, feminist, pro-science, anti-ableist, and full of love.
