Praise for this book
“This book is a welcome reminder that we need neither products nor permissions to make meaning, to build community, to exercise our power to shape our spiritual and physical lives. From celebrating our connection with nature to reaffirming our fundamental right to occupy space in the world, New Moon Magic is a timely message of empowerment and resistance.”
“With their first book, Amy and Risa invited us all on a journey of story and magic that followed the rhythm of the Sun. Now we are invited to make another journey; to see ourselves, others, and our tools through the ever-changing and potent phases of the Moon. Come join us, join Risa and Amy, and let us all make magic together!”
“This book is more than a book. It is an ecosystem teeming with modern Witches, ancestral agitators, anarchic seeds, and embodied practices. This book channels the moon's medicine of mutability and movement. There is a medicine available for every type of weather and every type of body.”

⭐ Reader reviews
Reader rating
While powerful, this text is not for those seeking traditional, apolitical spellcraft or simple aesthetic witchery. It demands an active engagement with complex socio-political critique alongside magical theory. Readers looking for quick fixes or detached mysticism may find its radical feminist framework too demanding or ideological. However, for those ready to confront the mundane through a lens of resistance, it offers a compelling, intellectually rigorous approach. The focus on dismantling capitalist influences within spiritual work is refreshing but requires a specific mindset. It suits activists and theorists more than casual hobbyists who prefer magic divorced from societal analysis.
