From the author of the Spell to Bind Donald Trump and All Those Who Abet Him―the spell that became a social media phenomenon viewed by millions of people―this book provides spells, rituals, and fascinating historical examples designed to help you put your magical will to work to make the world a better place.
Calling upon revolutionary feminists and radical magic practitioners across time, including the yippies who attempted to levitate the Pentagon, Gerald Gardner and the coven of witches who danced naked to create “Operation Cone of Power” to keep Hitler from invading England, and the enslaved people who used their traditional magic to fight for their freedom, Hughes has built a concise, powerful magical toolkit for modern practitioners.
These magical workings for social justice can be used by activists of any spiritual or religious background. With ideas for altars, meditations, community organizing, self-care, and more, Magic for the Resistance offers practical methods and techniques for those who want to manifest justice, equality, compassion, and peace.
“Michael M. Hughes is one of my favorite magicians. He delivers enchanted insurrectionary shocks that brilliantly mess with the sour, misshapen mass hallucination otherwise known as ‘consensus reality.’ ”
