Outside the Charmed Circle: Gender + Sexuality in Magic

A Guide to Embodiment, Gender, Sexuality, and Magic

The intention of Outside the Charmed Circle is to help readers live as the truest expression of their gendered, sexual, spiritual self.  It is designed to support you as you awaken to who you are, deepen your magical practice, and walk through the Pagan world.  Author Misha Magdalene provides hands-on meditations, prompts, and magical workings to help you explore your identity as it intersects with your spiritual practice.  With thoughtful insights on embodiment, consent, and Eros, as well as explorations of self-esteem, ability, disability, and your feelings about your body, this book helps those in the LGBTQIA+ community and their allies engage with a wide range of identities in a magical setting.
