A post shared by Do The Magical Thing (@dothemagicalthing)

Lee from Do The Magical Thing has Book problem, do you? join us Saturday as we discuss magic, witchcraft, and occult books at April's Critical Thinking Witches Brew!

Get a free ticket here!

[criticalthinkingwitches]

Our upcoming April Witches' Brew (a virtual event) will be aimed at sharing how the written word can be a powerful way for witches and related friends to raise their voices - be it through editorials, fiction, non-fiction narratives, and more.

Are you newer to CTWC? What is a Witches' Brew, you may ask? Our Witches' Brews are small coming together of witches events throughout the year, focused on a particular topic to open up conversations and invite learning. These are short events compared to our full Con - about three hours on one day.

We'll open with our traditional potions, with a poetic and narrative tilt, from our Gnome & Cauldron host - Jul Bloomfield. Jul may have something extra special to share with our Brew-mates, about potions past and future! So be sure to tune in.

[about 15 minutes]

Next up on our Brew agenda, an independent book seller will lead a panel on demystifying the publishing process with authors who have experience with traditional publishing, self publishing, and freelance writing work.

Join Alex Wrekk (book seller and zinester), Lane Smith (traditional publication), Lee Cotman (freelance and independent publication), and Trae Dorn (independent publication).

[about 45 minutes]

We'll break to chat together about what we've heard and what we think (you won't be left on your own for this!). It is traditional, and a wonderful way to meet other witches and friends of witches.

[about 20 minutes]

Followed by an adventure through some contemporary fiction with Ana Mor, our voracious reader in residence. She'll be touching on some examples of witches in fictions outside of the great Sir Pratchett and the great Billy Shakes, and where you might find room for your own voice in fiction.

[about 20 minutes]

Our last session will be a discussion on finding trustworthy sources for your own witch journey, as a bit of a fireside chat between Alex Wrekk and Lee Ignire of Do the Magical Thing. Alex and Lee talk about how they evaluate books for their shelves. They will share book recommendations on a variety of topics, including good books for new witches, intermediate witches, plant magic, divination, and witchcraft and occult history all through a CritWitch, queer, and trans inclusive lens.

[about 30 minutes]

Closing out, we'll come together again to chat and connect about the Brew, and the organizers will share some great Con news!

[about 20 minutes]

So, join us friends, far and wide, for From Print to Publishing: Raising your Crit Witch Voice!
