Witchcraft Activism: A Toolkit for Magical Resistance

Written by David Salisbury

Narrated by Paul Boehmer

A hands-on guide from an experienced activist with tips on everything from joining activist groups to conjuring spells for self-protection.



There is a movement on the rise, one that brings the worlds of social justice and political activism together with the practice of witchcraft. Activists wish to add magical methods to their arsenal, while spell casters seek to use their powers to resist oppression. Written by an experienced witch-activist and with the current political climate in full view, the book shows listeners how to learn spells for self-protection and body shielding, as well as methods of developing enhanced psychic intuition and situational awareness. Salisbury explains how and why to conjure spirits of defense, land spirits, ancestral spirits of activism, as well as your own personal guardian spirits. Included are rituals, spells, and sigils, written clearly and simply, so that even someone with absolutely no previous experience in spell casting can immediately feel empowered and join the "witch resistance."

Would I reread it? Yes, in the future, when I am more involved in healing the outer world.

Recommend? Yes, to PWW who want to learn how the craft can benefit from the effective change.

In the middle, I skimmed through, losing interest. I did learn things about how to incorporate things I would never have thought of on my own. If I was a beginner, parts of the book strictly regarding magick I would love to have. If I was into social justice and much more, then most of the book would be perfect. It is hard to imagine a non- PPW practicer to find this book useful aside from his genuine advice and stories from experience. The symbols, vocabulary, reading recommendations, and spell examples definitely more up my alley of what I was searching for. Can broaden your knowledge and grimoire for present and future use. Overall not terrible at all, just not what I am currently ready for.
