"Throughout her life, Elissa Washuta has been surrounded by cheap facsimiles of Native spiritual tools and occult trends, "starter witch kits" of sage, rose quartz, and tarot cards packaged together in paper and plastic. Following a decade of abuse, addiction, PTSD, and heavy-duty drug treatment for a misdiagnosis of bipolar disorder, she felt drawn to the real spirits and powers her dispossessed and discarded ancestors knew, while she undertook necessary work to find love and meaning. In this collection of intertwined essays, she writes about land, heartbreak, and colonization, about life without the escape hatch of intoxication, and about how she became a powerful witch. She interlaces stories from her forebears with cultural artifacts from her own life-Twin Peaks, the Oregon Trail II video game, a Claymation Satan, a YouTube video of Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham-to explore questions of cultural inheritance and the particular danger, as a Native woman, of relaxing into romantic love under colonial rule"-- Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |

I apparently can’t anymore with women who feel the need to be with a man no matter how awful they appear, and I just don’t get it. I’m judging her friends for not shaking some sense into her, and I really don’t think she gets to where she believes she does by the end of the book. (Side note that I heard her on the Witch Wave podcast say she has a new partner, and now I’ve noped out completely)
I’m not sure if it’s because I know time is needed to get over this stuff, and she didn’t give herself enough or what. But I can tell that she doesn’t like being alone which seems to be the best thing for her. And I’m angry at her for making me be an armchair psychologist because hers doesn’t seem to be doing well. Also I will be happy if I never hear the name Carl again; I started getting triggered by it almost immediately and hated it over eleven hours later. ( )
