As with a lot of "how-to's" on witchcraft or activism, I expected this to be something that I would take some insights from and probably reject others...and I was correct. It's actually probably at it's best as a beginners guide to activism, with some witchy stuff thrown in.

I did get the sense that the author (a cis, gay, white man) has some very specific and limited experiences with activism (most of his example are environmental and on a fairly grassroots level — e.g., trying to get trees from being knocked down). In a section on defense, he casually mentions that if you're reading this book, you're probably not likely to need bodily defense...which is a hell of a thing to read while witnessing college kids get manhandled off campuses for protesting a genocide, but okay, dude.

Still, there's some fun thoughts and ideas for merging your own magical practices with activism, which is pretty neat.
