Getting Witchy with Michelle Tea

  • Summary

  • In perfect time for Halloween, in this episode you will meet the author of Modern Magic: Stories, Rituals, and Spells for Contemporary Witches, Michelle Tea. MICHELLE TEA is the author of over a dozen books, including the cult-classic Valencia, the essay collection Against Memoir, and the speculative memoir Black Wave. She is the recipient of awards from the Guggenheim, Lambda Literary, and Rona Jaffe Foundations, PEN/America, and other institutions. Knocking Myself Up is her latest memoir. Witty, down-to-earth, and wise, Tea bewitches us with personal tales about crafting her magical practice and coming into her own. She pairs enchanting stories from her days as a goth teen in Massachusetts with insights from her experiences as an adult to share her observations about the world as well as her vision for what it could be. We talk about how MODERN MAGIC gives us the tools to tap into a stronger, distinctive magic that lies within us, one that incorporates queer, feminist, anti-racist, and intersectional values. Publishers Weekly says: “Creative…Tea constructs an appealing notion of magic as an empowering spiritual alternative to patriarchal religious systems, and includes valuable sections on using magic to engage in social change. Wannabe witches will be delighted.” Instagram: @michelleteaz / X: @TeaMichelle Website: https://www.michelle-tea.com Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
