Utopian Witch: Solarpunk Magick to Fight Climate Change and Save the World

This solarpunk book of shadows will guide you in surviving and resisting climate crisis and dystopian political systems so you can take radical action towards a positive future. Longtime activist and practicing witch Justine Norton-Kertson introduces a fresh approach to witchcraft at a time when it's desperately needed. Drawing on the natural connections between modern paganism and the literary, artistic, and activist movement known as solarpunk, Norton-Kertson provides meditations and correspondences for developing a spiritual practice rooted in nature, the Sun, and a powerful belief in our ability to build a better world. Readers will also find a host of spells to use in the fight against climate change, fascism, and inequality. These politically conscious magickal practices forge a new spiritual praxis to guide us as we work together to envision and create the future we want to see.

About the Author
Once upon a time, Justine Norton-Kertson corrupted young minds by teaching high school history, civics, and economics from a leftist perspective. Without tenure, finding jobs was tough, so they shifted and spent almost a decade as a union organizer. Nowadays, Justine continues working to corrupt the youth, primarily as a publisher, author, screenwriter, and podcaster. Justine was named one of the 2023 Grist 50 Fixers for their work publishing climate fiction and organizing around climate change, including founding and organizing the annual Utopia Awards & Climate Fiction Conference. She started Android Press and Solarpunk Magazine in 2022 and is editor-in-chief for both. Her short stories and poems have been published by Utopia Science Fiction Magazine, Reckoning, Solarpunk Magazine, and World Weaver Press, among others. Justine is also the creator and host of the Star Trek fandom podcast Unimatrix Zero and the fantasy fiction podcast Imagitopia and is an associate producer for the podcast The 7th Rule. They live in rural Oregon with her partner, puppies, cats, goats, and bunnies, where they enjoy gardening, kayaking, writing, and making short films.
