Join us on Saturday, September 14th to celebrate the release of "Serpents of Circe: A Manual to Magical Resilience" - from Revelore Press.
"Serpents of Circe" follows in the footsteps of the first two volumes in The New Aradia series, collecting the wisdom and lived experiences of over three dozen magical practitioners, activists, and teachers worldwide to serve as inspiration and a roadmap to crafting inclusive, inspired communities. The shift from "resistance" to "resilience" in this edition is in preparation for the next step in building solidarity, enhancing awareness, fostering sustainability, and establishing long-term goals that affect us all locally and globally.
So why have we chosen “Serpents of Circe” as a title? In keeping with the mythic realm of Aradia and the Gorgons, we are turning to Circe as inspiration for our third volume. Daughter of the sun god Helios and the ocean nymph Perse, Circe is a goddess of sorcery and said to be the first Witch in Greek Mythology. She was highly skilled in the magics of transmutation, herbalism and potion-making, as well as necromancy. Spiritually and metaphysically, serpents are beings of creation, renewal, and transformation as well as protectors and guides to the underworld. The combined energy of these two ideas speak to an evolving legacy of magic rooted in wisdom, sustainability, empowerment, flexibility, and practicality.
Every purchase of this book will raise $2, split between a non-profit or mutual-aid organization committed to community-building and sustainability. The selected organizations are:
Feeding America (feedingamerica.org/), the largest charity working to end hunger in the United States.
Sins Invalid (sinsinvalid.org/), a disability justice performance project that centers people of color, queer, nonbinary and trans people with disabilities.
