Hello, beautiful creatures! My name* is Misha Magdalene. I'm a multi-classed, multi-geek, multi-queer witch and sorcerer with a degree in gender studies and a slightly odd sense of humor. I'm an initiate of multiple lines of traditional witchcraft, including the Anderson Feri tradition and Gardnerian Wicca. I've also been known to dabble recklessly in both modern ceremonial magic and grimoiric goetia.

I'm also looking forward to reading Pam Grossman's "Waking the Witch: Reflections on Women, Magic, and Power" and Gwion Raven's "The Magick of Food: Rituals, Offerings & Why We Eat Together." I'm ALSO hoping to finish Ysabeau S. Wilce's delightfully wry YA novel "Flora Segunda," the first chapter of which my partner read with me.(less)

Quotes by Misha Magdalene  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“We spend so much time speculating about the future, daydreaming about the past, and wondering about what's going on somewhere else that we fail to experience our own present moment, rooted in our own bodies.”
Misha Magdalene, Outside the Charmed Circle: Exploring Gender & Sexuality in Magical Practice

“I define magic as the act of exercising one's will to change reality in a way that isn't easily explained by a clear chain of cause-and-effect.”
Misha Magdalene, Outside the Charmed Circle: Exploring Gender & Sexuality in Magical Practice

“Ninety-nine percent of everything that goes on in most Christian churches has nothing whatsoever to do with the actual religion. Intelligent people all notice this sooner or later, and they conclude that the entire one hundred percent is bullshit, which is why atheism is connected with being intelligent in people's minds.”
Neal Stephenson, Snow Crash

“I write entirely to find out what I'm thinking, what I'm looking at, what I see and what it means. What I want and what I fear.”
Joan Didion

“Show some fucking adaptability!”
Neal Stephenson, Cryptonomicon.

“I just saved your fucking life, Mom. . . . You could at least offer me an Oreo.”
Neal Stephenson, Snow Crash

“Our opponent is an alien starship packed with atomic bombs," I said. "We have a protractor.”
Neal Stephenson, Anathem
