Decolonizing Magic is an online space for practitioners of all paths of craft looking to unlearn racism, classism, antisemitism, eurocentrism, sexism and cis-hetero normativity, and all other forms of oppressive systems that permeate the spiritual and witchcraft communities. It is a place for sharing our decolonizing approaches, resources, host discussion and provide mutual support in this road.

This community is meant to function as an online talking circle. Talking circles are focused groups of discussion where each member is allowed to speak freely of the topic, from the heart, in a circle meant to represent the holism of Mother Earth and the equity of every participant member gathered here.

Being a participant member means we're taking an action-oriented approach to the decolonization of our magical practice, whatever it's origin be. Posts and resources shared here are meant to put emphasis on relational approaches to spirituality and the sharing of our personal experiences as we walk the path of decolonization.

The content of this community can be as wide and diverse as sharing snapshots of our daily practices, book recommendations or reviews, videos, podcast episodes or channels, open discussion posts, quotes from interesting sources, and more. It is meant to be a space to nourish critical thought, ethical spirituality and more importantly support each other as we learn and grow together!

There is no end to this path. We're all eternal students, contributing what we can and actively listening to other contributors. Always feel free to ask questions, engage with each other intently and from radical kindness, and further the discussion respectfully.

Decolonization is for everyone, but BIPOC lead this movement. We will discuss these topics acknowledging the diversity of cultures and heritages of everyone involved, with special care for closed traditions and cultures, and prioritizing first-hand accounts or sources written by insiders.

We do not support AI-generated writing or images. Generative AI cannot accompany us down a path where relationality is centered. We aim to engage strictly with human-made sources.

And ofc i am linking to my tumblr my favorite place on the internet

this year, i published my 5th book, and the 4th instalment in my Shimmering Lake Summer Camp series, which marks that series halfway finished. in my first ~year of being a published author, i've sold 82 books already, and i'm very happy about that!! but what would make me even happier is meeting my goal of 100 total sales by the end of 2026.

all 5 of my books are available anywhere ebooks are sold for ~$2, and almost anywhere print books are sold for ~$12-18 (prices estimated due to different storefronts' fees, taxes, currency conversion, etc).

tons more info is available on my website and on other posts on this blog, but a quick rundown on my currently published books is:

Town Ghosts is a short novella about a group of oddball middle schoolers in a pair of strange small towns in rural Ontario, working together to uncover a ghostly mystery, while facing issues in their home lives.

The Shimmering Lake Summer Camp series is about two groups of teens attending a camp for struggling high schoolers that takes places on an island in a secretly magical lake, deep in a forest that doesn't appear on any maps. There's a novella following a lesbian polycule from the first book who escape their abusive families, and a short story collection that dives deeper into all of their lives, past, present, and future.

The idea and scenes came so vividly and so detailed that I’ve been dissociating for 2 days just with the images in my head. I indulged a little with descriptions, there are a lot of words, and the pacing is slow but I love it.

I am aware that this fic will be a little specific and not for broad audiences, with Reader having a distinct personality/character, but I will write it regardless. Because I want to explore Baelor’s psychology as a young prince and heir and everything that comes with it. I want to explore his flaws and how a young man in his position carries himself and what’s underneath.

Pomni & Gummigoo:

Ragatha, Kinger, Gangle, & Zooble (Pomni’s friends):

I might have guessed if they might have appeared in CH 2 of “What If Jax Was Change.” Also page 16 will be published tomorrow! And hopefully it’ll take all weekend long. I promise I’ll continue with CH 2.

I add a ALT on a second photo for you if you wonder why Kinger had a bucket on his head.

EVoY: High priority, actively being worked on. I've been working through removing a few redundant scenes, and I've also been re-thinking Nathan and Max's relationship progression—I've decided I wanted a slightly different, slow-burn- and mystery-focused, tighter direction that, I think, more accurately fits their characters and builds to a better conclusion in Act IV. Once the big edits are over, I'm ready to bring this fic to its end! ✨ There's no need to re-read unless you're so inclined, though the characters and writing should overall be more satisfying. (I curse myself for not having a concrete plot written out when I first started one of the most complicated stories I've ever written, like whyyy🤌)

MCaOBI: Also a high priority. It'll be shorter than my other fics, but I can promise a lot, lot, lot of emotional depth, some twists and turns, and (hopefully) satisfying interpersonal development in this one <3 (I will never pick favorites, but sometimesss this one comes close😬)

SaS: May be put on the back burner until I finish the two above 😩 I'm very excited about what I have planned for it next, and I do hate to hit pause on a cliffhanger!— it pains me as much as it pains you to have to put this on unofficial hold ❣️ I only do this to ensure that the writing and plot are as satisfying as possible.

MOoRD: I have a lot of ideas (trust me), but atm it's my lowest priority, for the sake of my other longfics 😔

I've put it on the side for a while, but the wallpaper is still running. I need to resize it for different phone types, and then it'll be on my Kofi for free!!
