In episode 113 of the Magick & Alchemy podcast, hosts Kate Belew and Kristin Lisenby talk resistance and re-enchantment with Amy Torok and Risa Dickens. Amy and Risa are the witches, activists, and storytellers behind The Missing Witches project. In their second visit to the podcast, Amy and Risa remind us that telling the truth is a spell. They discuss the magnificence of difference, rock ‘n’ roll as a spell, and self-care as ancestor worship. They reflect on what they’ve learned by living as modern witches in the woods, and introduce us to their newest book, New Moon Magic: 13 Anti-Captialist Tools for Resistance & Re-enchantment.

Learn more about Amy and Risa and order the Missing Witches’ new book, New Moon Magic: 13 Anticapitalist Tools for Resistance & Re-enchantment, on their website missingwitches.com. You can also listen to the Missing Witches podcast, join their online community, contribute to the Missing Witches Zine, and follow their story on Instagram @missingwitches.
