Traditional Wiccan initiates are usually brought into the craft through a ceremony with a High Priestess. But even though Amanda Yates Garcia's mother, a practicing witch herself, initiated her into the earth-centered practice of witchcraft when she was thirteen-years-old, Amanda's real life as a witch only began when she underwent a series of spontaneous initiations of her own.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Descending into the underworlds of poverty, sex work, and misogyny, \u003ci\u003eInitiated \u003c\/i\u003edescribes Amanda's journey to return to her body, harness her power, and create the magical world she longed for through witchcraft. Hailed by crows, seduced by magicians, and haunted by ancestors broken beneath the wheels of patriarchy, Amanda's quest for self-discovery and empowerment is a deep exploration of a modern witch's trials—healing ancient wounds, chafing against cultural expectations, creating intimacy—all while on a mission to re-enchant the world. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Peppered with mythology, tales of the goddesses and magical women throughout history, \u003ci\u003eInitiated \u003c\/i\u003estands squarely at the intersection of witchcraft and feminism. With generosity and heart, this book speaks to the question: is it possible to live a life of beauty and integrity in a world that feels like it's dying?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Declaring oneself a witch and practicing magic has everything to do with claiming authority and power for oneself, of taking back our planet in the name of Love. \u003ci\u003eInitiated\u003c\/i\u003e is both memoir and manifesto calling the magical people of the world to take up their wands: stand up, be brave, describe the world they want, then create it like a witch.","brand":"Hachette Book Group","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49349099782448,"sku":"BDd7o2","price":31.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio CD","offer_id":49349099847984,"sku":"ZEd7o2","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/d7o2-Square-cover.jpg?v=1772492065","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-d7o2","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
