Initiated (häftad, eng)

An initiation signals a beginning: a door opens and you step through

Amanda Yates Garcia''s mother initiated her into the goddess-worshipping practice of witchcraft when she was thirteen years old, but Amanda''s true life as a witch only began when she underwent a series of spontaneous initiations of her own.

Descending into the underworlds of poverty, sex work and misogyny, Initiated describes Amanda''s journey to return to her body, harness her natural power, and finally reclaim her witchcraft to create the magical world she envisioned.

Peppered with mythology, tales of the goddesses and magical women throughout history, Initiated stands squarely at the intersection of witchcraft and feminismAmanda shows that practising magic is about more than spells and potions; magic is nothing less than claiming power for oneself and taking back our planet in the name of Love.

Initiated is both memoir and manifesto, calling the magical people of the world to take up their wands, be brave, and create the enchanted world they long to live in.

''Godesses, ecstasies, fairy tales: Initiated is full of my favourite things, told with savage graceThis book will change your life.'' FRANCESCA LIA BLOCK
