Had to stop reading about a third of the way through; clearly well researched and certainly on an important topic, but I did not find it very engaging and I found it frustrating that the author (in my opinion, this could be personal) seemed to avoid the question of, “now what?” I was looking for “This is a problematic thing. Here’s what to do or how to think about it instead,” but there was very little of that. And for the record, I did skim the rest of the chapters and the conclusion to see if there was any of that, but I found very little. Good book I’m sure, just a bit too dense and did not answer the questions I was looking for. ( ) aucune critique | ajouter une critique
Tapping into the political power of magic and astrology for social, community, and personal transformation. In a cross-cultural approach to understanding astrology as a magical language, Alice Sparkly Kat unmasks the political power of astrology, showing how it can be channeled as a force for collective healing and liberation. Too often, magic and astrology are divorced from their potency and cultural contexts- co-opted by neoliberalism, used as a force of oppression, or distilled beyond recognition into applications that belie their individual and collective power. By looking at the symbolic and etymological histories of the sun, moon, Saturn, Venus, Mercury, Mars, and Jupiter, we can trace and understand the politics of magic--and challenge our own practices, interrogate our truths, and reshape our institutions to build better frameworks for communities of care. Fearless, radical, and fresh, Sparkly Kat's Postcolonial Astrology ushers in a new wave of astrology revival, refusing to apologize for its magickism and connecting its power to the spirituality and politics we need now. Intersectional, inclusive, and geared towards queer and POC communities, it uses our historical and collective constructs of the planets, sun, and moon to re-chart our subconscious history, redefine the body in the world, and assert our politics of the personal, in astrology and all things.
