Harness the power of lunar magic with 13 essential practices for the modern witch - one for each New Moon of the year

Fresh, fierce, and unapologetically feminist, this is both guidebook and rallying cry: an intersectional and inclusive magical praxis that resists, disrupts, and opens the door to nourishment, abundance, and transformation - for readers of Psychic Witch and The Spell Book for New Witches


In New Moon Magic, Missing Witches authors Risa Dickens and Amy Torok offer Witchy practices to change your life and reshape the world, without falling prey to the commercialization that belies the true heart - and power - of magic.

Witchcraft is praxis: how we do what we believe, and how we make those beliefs manifest. New Moon Magic is an offering to all witches, honoring the Craft's roots in centuries of empowerment, survival, and resistance - despite capitalism's attempts to co-opt and dilute its practice.

Here, Dickens and Torok reclaim tools of witchcraft as the ways and means of enchantment, imbued with magic that resists commodification and capitalism. The authors introduce 13 New Moon practices, each paired with a Witch who embodies the Craft:
  • Potions with Cerridwen and St. Hildegard von Bingen
  • Divination with Lozen and Harriet Tubman
  • The Garden with Mayumi Oda
  • Ritual & Ceremony with Genesis P-Orridge
  • The Circle with Audre Lorde
Through historical research, interviews, and the authors' own raw personal stories, New Moon Magic offers wisdom and guidance from real Witches past and present. It shows you how to take up tools and practices, discover (or rediscover) your own magic, and nurture a Witchcraft that creates instead of consumes.

A revelatory eyewitness account of Russia's invasion of Ukraine and the heroism of the Ukrainian people in their resistance by Yaroslav Trofimov, the Ukrainian-born chief foreign-affairs correspondent of The Wall Street Journal

Since Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022, Yaroslav Trofimov has spent months on end at the heart of the conflict, very often under fire on its front lines. In this authoritative account, he traces the war's decisive moments—from the battle for Kyiv to the grueling combat with the Wagner group over Bakhmut, and, most recently, Yevgeny Prigozhin's dramatic mutiny against Vladimir Putin in June 2023. He shows how Ukraine, with American help, turned the tide against Russia, one of the world's great military powers, in a modern-day battle of David and Goliath. Putin had intended to conquer and annex Ukraine with a vicious blitzkrieg, redrawing the map of Europe in a few short weeks with seismic geopolitical consequences. But the Ukrainian people fought back, turning what looked like certain defeat into a victory that confirmed their nation's independence, even as the fight over the nation's exact borders continues to seesaw to this day. This is the story of the epic bravery of the Ukrainian people, told by one of the world's most acclaimed war correspondents.

For Trofimov, this war is deeply personal. He grew up in Kyiv and his family has lived there for generations. With deep empathy and local understanding of the nuances of language and culture, Trofimov tells the story of how everyday Ukrainian citizens—doctors, computer programmers, businesspeople, and schoolteachers—risked their lives and lost loved ones. He blends their courageous and tragic stories with expert military analysis, providing unique insight into the thinking of the Ukrainian leadership and mapping out the decisive stages of Europe's biggest conflict since World War II-a confrontation that has reshaped the world.

This brutal, catastrophic struggle is unfolding on another continent, but the United States and its NATO allies have become deeply implicated. As the war drags on, it threatens to engulf the world. We cannot look away. At once heartbreaking and inspiring, Our Enemies Will Vanish is a riveting and vivid firsthand account of the Ukrainian refusal to surrender. It is the story of ordinary people fighting not just for their homes and their families but for justice and democracy itself.
