商品描述

An occult history that grounds the sacred yearning for magic in real life.

In these essays by scholar and self-initiated witch Brooke Palmieri, occult history, the eternal now, and our magickal queer futures align, connecting us to an enchantment both contemporary and classic. Drawing upon the knowledge and influence of practitioners from Rachel Pollack to Tituba, Palmieri grounds the sacred yearning for magic in real life, whether exploring the gossip of feuding Salem witches, paying the rent by playing "wizard" for news cameras, or detailing the psychic ups and downs of working in an occult bookshop. Written in a voice electrified with love for the craft and its lineage of eccentrics, Bargain Witch shows us witch life in all its quotidian humor and splendor, taking its place amongst the magickal classics that inspired it, a literary ouroboros.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

一段將對魔法的神聖渴望根植於現實生活的神秘歷史。

在學者及自我啟蒙的女巫布魯克·帕爾梅里（Brooke Palmieri）所撰寫的這些文章中，神秘歷史、永恆的當下以及我們的魔法酷兒未來相互交織，將我們與當代與經典的魅力相連。帕爾梅里借鑒了從瑞秋·波拉克（Rachel Pollack）到提圖巴（Tituba）等實踐者的知識與影響，將對魔法的神聖渴望根植於現實生活中，無論是探索爭吵的塞勒姆女巫的八卦，還是為新聞攝影機扮演「巫師」來支付租金，或是詳細描述在神秘書店工作的心靈起伏。這本書以對這門技藝及其古怪傳承的熱愛所激發的聲音撰寫，Bargain Witch 向我們展示了女巫生活中所有日常的幽默與壯麗，並在啟發它的魔法經典之中佔有一席之地，形成一個文學的烏羅波羅斯。
