Ariel Gore

This experimental novel uses magick spells and inverted fairly tales to combat queer scapegoating, domestic violence, and high-interest student loans.

We Were Witches

Mariann

"Oh." I raised my hand quickly. "Of course. I mean. The regular amount. Of violence."

Give me goals to seek and the determination to achieve them.

Allow me to live surrounded by plants, animals, and children.

Allow me the strength and wisdom to be my own mistress.

And empower my ongoing sexual liberation. 

I wanted to be the kind of writer who illuminated hidden injustice so starkly that it would simply cease to be perpetrated. 'If only people knew that the government was retaking Native land! Everyone would be outraged!' It hadn't yet occurred to me that most people might feel fine about consciously exploiting other people.

If you suspect a neighbor of giving you the evil eye, place a small mirror on the windowsill facing their home and whisper, "Return to sender."
