Description
Tapping into the power of magic and astrology for social, community, and personal transformation, Alice Sparkly Kat explores the cross-cultural approach to understanding astrology as a magical language. By examining the symbolic and etymological histories of the planets, Kat unmasks the politics of magic and challenges our own practices, encouraging us to interrogate our truths and reshape our institutions. Kat's work offers a fresh perspective on astrology, refusing to apologize for its magickism and connecting its power to the spirituality and politics we need now. This book is geared towards queer and POC communities, using historical and collective constructs of the planets, sun, and moon to re-chart our subconscious history and redefine the body in the world. With its intersectional and inclusive approach, Postcolonial Astrology ushers in a new wave of astrology revival, providing a radical and radical new framework for communities of care.
