Featuring a “Who’s Who” of voices from the contemporary witchcraft community, A Confluence of Witches is an invitation to practicing witches, and those newly drawn to the craft, to explore the authentic intersections of magic, spirituality, personal development, and social justice.
A Confluence of Witches aims to highlight how witchcraft has always been a diverse, constantly evolving, culturally specific practice with many lineages and rich traditions. It features essays, spells, and reflections from witches, traditional healers, herbalists, and artists on themes of magical activism, animism, and merging ancient practices with modern technologies, among other mystical subjects. The diverse representation of contributors will honor and celebrate the multicultural and multivalent ways that the witch operates within our society.
With an increased interest in and practice of witchcraft comes a greater need for authentic sources of wisdom that are culturally relevant and sensitive to the many lineages and traditions of witchcraft, healing work, and magic. A Confluence of Witches provides insights and perspectives from a diverse range of people who in one form or another identify as a “witch.” The anthology’s contributors are diverse: from the African diaspora, Indigenous traditions, Latinx practitioners, of Romani descent, and mixed-race witches—each with their own sacred blend of spirituality to share. These voices come together to illuminate the multitude of ways one can practice.
Contributions to this anthology have been made by the following writers: adrienne maree brown, Aja Daashuur, Ariella Daly, Sanyu Estelle, Star Feliz, Edgar Fabian Frias, Amanda Yates Garcia, Rachel Howe, Madre Jaguar, Jessie Susannah Karnatz, Alejandra Leon, Aurora Luna, Angela Mary Magick, Dori Midnight, Liz Migliorelli, Maria Minnis, Kiki Robinson, Kimberly Rodriguez, Eliza Swann, Olivia Pepper, and Jezmina Von Thiele.
