Witch Anthology

Edited by Michelle Tea

Exploring the liminal spaces between history, mythology, and lived experience, WITCH: Anthology presents a diverse collection of manifesto, poetry, playscripts, and prose that interrogate the enduring presence of magic in contemporary life. From an adult woman haunted by her childhood as she reflects on institutions and folklore to a genderqueer Brooklynite uncovering their past life as a murdered sorceress, these stories weave spells of memory, identity, and transformation. A skeptical participant at a Northern California witch camp finds unexpected kinship through communal cooking, while a professor wields magic as a tool of resistance against political oppression. Each narrative is steeped in mystery, revealing the ways the archetype of the Witch persists—challenged, celebrated, reclaimed, and reimagined.

With contributions from visionaries such as CAConrad, Edgar Fabián Frías, Amanda Yates Garcia, Ashley Ray, Brooke Palmieri, Yumi Sakugawa, Kai Cheng Thom, Ariel Gore, Myriam Gurba, Fariha Róisín, and many others, this anthology traverses the ancient and the modern, exposing a world where primordial occult energies still pulse beneath the surface. Whether through historical excavation or present-day radicalism, WITCH: Anthology conjures a landscape of myth, magic, trickery, and power that refuses to be buried.
