The collection of spells, each with wonderful background and anecdotes accompanying, works to dismantle the social phenomenon that hold women, people of color and anyone not cis/hetero back. That these same forces kept anyone considered "other" ostracized by threats of "witch!" does not go unnoticed. Each one will help dismantle just a bit of patriarchy, capitalism, sexism and more. The spells follow the alphabet and cover a vast range of practice styles. They are also inclusive of many magical traditions that may be new to readers. Using elements of practice borrowed from other cultures is handled deftly with an eye to appropriation. This not only serves as a handy spell book for social justice, but an introduction to the magics practiced by many people the world over.
