On sex magic

“The life force energy we harness in sex is potent but neutral… It’s like fire or water, it’s not bad or good. You can burn down your house with fire or create warmth.”

“It has always been easier to hex than to heal.”

The type of magic Bri writes about in this book is highly influenced by her experience as a woman of color.

The use of many of these powerful techniques have been necessary for the women in her family to use under the trauma of oppression.

This book has made me understand the context in which the spells my mom always told me to stay away from were written.

“Her cunning and strong presence was too much for many people. I now recognize that being ‘too much’ is true strength and power.”

I think every woman who feels afraid to take up space would benefit from reading this book

“learning to trust yourself is the most important healing magic”

“What does embracing personal power feel like? It feels like ease.

Personal power feels like authenticity, like stripping away the urge to perform for others.

It feels like clarity and certainty. It feels like being okay with not being accepted by everyone.

You are not for everyone.”

“Your boundaries are a form of protective magic.”

~Honor the Dead~

“It’s important to remember that creating an ancestral or remembrance altar is an affirmation of a person’s life rather than a continual mourning for a loss”

~Becoming~

“Many women have been taught to ignore or discredit their intuition, or what some might call “psychic senses” for fear of being called crazy or facing ridicule from friends or family.

Eventually, we lose the connection to… ourselves.”

Who is this book written for? The author answers:

“Those…who have a passion for developing their powers and their intuition in their day-to-day life”

“Do not mistake her softness, vulnerability, sensitivity, compassion, love, resilience, or silence for weakness.”
