Had a great time @treadwells-books.bsky.social listening to the author and host of the brilliant podcast The Witch Wave @phantasmaphile.bsky.social
The sold out talk was about linking creativity with magic.

Day 13 of my bookish gift guide…
Magic Maker: The Enchanted Path to Creativity by @phantasmaphile.bsky.social explores creativity and magic as inseparable forces, all in service of making whatever it is you’re meant to make. A song, a novel, a path through this strange world.
Thank you so much!! 🩶📚🪽
learning there's an angel in the Kabbalah who helps you find the books you need at the library has made my night. from @phantasmaphile.bsky.social's deeply researched Magic Maker, which I am slowly savoring.

the whole article could have just been ten pages of “Brilliant Things Eleanor O’Brien Said,” and some gold was left on the cutting room floor, but this is such a banger of a closer and it’s so very much the theme of today
Thank you, Kat! 🩶

Thanks so much to those of you who have picked one up already - or who are about to! I’m so grateful to you.
Here’s to creativity, imagination, and the Mercurial magic of making things. ✨🩶✨
The Magician is the guiding archetype of MAGIC MAKER, because they are the bridge between realms. They turn Creative Force into intentional form, and use their magic to make the immaterial material.
MAGIC MAKER is out TOMORROW, and I can’t wait for you to read it!

Thrilled to reveal the glorious cover for my new book, MAGIC MAKER: THE ENCHANTED PATH TO CREATIVITY. My intention for this tome is to help you supercharge your own creativity using magical techniques, as so many visionaries have done throughout history (and as I do myself). Out Oct 14!
Right now, Republicans in Congress are trying to push through a bill that would put millions of Americans at risk of losing their health care.
They want to cut federal funding for Medicaid, take away tax credits that help more people afford coverage, and raise costs for working class families.
Noting Rowling’s vast financial success, Barker felt that Rowling’s newfound position of fame ought to exclude her from discussing trans rights. He added, “It really just seems redundant for a woman as successful, as validated in the world, as Ms Rowling, to be negative, to be disruptive if you will, to a very beaten up subculture. These are human beings. She has no right to opine, I think, upon the lives of human beings that she does not know.” “I feel very protective of people who are on the edge of our culture as gay people still are,” Barker continued. “And certainly transgender people are on the edge of our culture. And here you have one of the most successful people in the frigging world – Ms Rowling. Going after a very emotionally vulnerable portion of our culture. It just seems unnecessary and unfair.”
Clive Barker gets it.

I can't emphasize enough that the most important thing journalists can do right now is publish exactly this kind of article
THE RISE OF END TIMES FASCISM
My first major piece of the new Trump era, co-written with @astra.bsky.social.
The governing ideology of the far right has become a
monstrous, supremacist survivalism.
Our task is to build a movement strong enough to stop them. www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...
I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.
