Witch Blood Rising: Awaken Your Magic in a Modern World
Weiser Books

Bringing warmth, humor, and insight to a spiritual path that’s at once immeasurably ancient and continually reborn, Witch Blood Rising explores all the ways that witchcraft bubbles up from the blood of its devotees, from ancient myth to the glittery stories of Hollywood.

“Beautifully written, funny, engaging…This book is a call to action: tend to the embers of witchcraft burning within you.” -Amanda Yates Garcia

The Witch’s Kin
Gods&Radicals Press

In this book, Asa West offers a profoundly radical — yet deeply intuitive — framework for relating to all the others around us. Drawing from the deep wells of animist, scientific, and magical traditions, as well as her own deeply kind insights into human and other-than-human relations, The Witch’s Kin offers practical advice for being in the world with others.

Five Principles of Green Witchcraft
24 page zine, Gods&Radicals Press

In an era of climate change and late capitalism, when everything sacred is paved over or commodified, how do you attune yourself to the rhythms of nature? How do you listen for—and hear—the language of the land on which you live? How do you push your magical practice beyond rote rituals into true communion with the spirits around you?
