Overview: Are you seeking a spiritual path that blends your love of the Earth, your yearning for magick, and your commitment to justice? Are you curious to know how collective power can change not only ourselves but also our world? Do you want to heal the damage that patriarchy does and then step into your power? Feminist Witchcraft is waiting for you.

Verdict: Across history, witchcraft has been about power and our world needs empowered people more than ever. Pagan Portals: Feminist Witchcraft by author Susan Harper is here to guide your journey towards a more embodied, politically informed, authentic life.

Tapping into our personal and communal power is transformational both in caring for ourselves and each other and in using our collective will to create a more just and equitable world for all.

Down the decades, Witchcraft has been feared, mocked and romanticized, but what the author does here within her glorious new prose on the subject, is bring to the fore a deeper understanding of a once underlying, but now a force majeure about the feminist resistance and enduring cultural power that now resides within its formidable movement.

Having been herself practicing Witchcraft and moving in Witchy and Pagan communities for the past three decades, author Harper focuses on feminist witchcraft as relational and political, which allows for all its readers to see the value in distribution of authority and decision-making power across a group rather than concentrating it in a traditional top-down hierarchy.

For Witchcraft is more than just potions, spells, and incantations. Witchcraft at its heart is about power - the power to influence your reality, to exercise control over systems, and to shape the world. While witchcraft looks different depending on cultural context, in every known society where witchcraft is found, it is about the ability to exercise power outside of the societally ordained power structure.

Thus the old, set in its ways male narrative is taken asunder here by Harper in a way that explores the power, persecution and political dimensions of female empowered witchcraft across the years and cultures.

In closing, if you have picked up this book to either check out in the book store or have purchased and are at home now ready to start reading, it’s likely you have read more than one introduction to Wicca or other forms of Witchcraft, and you’re likely asking yourself what makes Feminist Witchcraft different from all those you’ve read before.

If so, this is the book for you. Without a shadow of a doubt.
