Ecological witchcraft series
Our paper will examine the works of American witch Starhawk and British witch Rae Beth. Both write on the vital importance of the natural world to magical practice, in both spiritual and practical terms. We argue that they engage in ‘ecological thinking’, a mode of thought which offers guidance, both theoretical and practical, to both witches and non-witches in this current time of climate crisis. We argue that their deviation from traditional high magic, and their perspective as female practitioners is central to their approach to craft and offers a road-map for Anthropocene practitioners of magic.
We will examine their work through the lens of Capitalist critique and New Materialist philosophy. Firstly, we will invoke French historians Philippe Pignarre and Isabelle Stengers, who co-authored Capitalist Sorcery: Breaking the Spell, and who have shown us the role of the witch in interrogating ideologies and disrupting accepted political structures.
Pignarre and Stengers examine the work of Starhawk, the American witch, earth-activist and practitioner of earth-based spirituality, who spoke at a May Day rally in Seattle in the early 2010s to oppose the exploitation of natural resources in the name of capitalism. Capitalist Sorcery takes Starhawk’s speech and ritual, and expands the idea to envision a means by which the witch represents a resistant force, an alternative to capitalism. Karl Marx wrote that under capitalism, the world is ‘bewitched and distorted’.[1]The central insight of Pignarre and Stenger’s work is to show how the concept and person of the witch, as one who herself is capable of enchantment, wields a similar power to the capitalism that feeds ecological crisis and is thus an actor uniquely placed to resist and transform it.
We too will propose that female witchcraft - and its particular magic – is an effective means of ‘resisting the coming barbarism’ of climate change under capitalism (Stengers 2015). But we will also make connections between these magics and ecological thinking in general. And, rather than invoke the witch as an exception to the rule of impotence among Gaia’s children, we will seek to understand her techniques as reflective of emergent new ways of living and interacting in a world where non-humans, matter and ‘things’ are becoming recognised as sources of enchantment and vibrancy in their own right.
As Jane Bennett, another feminist eco-philosopher writes, the task for ecological thinking today is ‘to explore ways to engage effectively and sustainably this enchanting and dangerous matter-energy’.[2] We will argue that Starhawk and Rae Beth’s feminist ecological magick allows us to ‘devise new procedures, technologies, and regimes of perception that enables us to consult nonhumans more closely’.[3] Feminine witchcraft offers new ways of conceiving of, and resisting climate catastrophe, and we will argue that this ‘ecological magic’ has a vital part to play in – and lesson to teach – broader climate activism.

Reviews for "The Mesmerizing Artistry of Jeff Evans: A True Magician at Heart"
1. Jane - 2 stars - I recently attended a magic show by Jeff Evans and I have to say I was extremely disappointed. Not only were his tricks predictable and outdated, but his overall performance lacked any sort of charisma or entertainment value. It felt like he was just going through the motions without any passion or enthusiasm. I wouldn't recommend wasting your time or money on this magician.
2. John - 1 star - Jeff Evans' magic show was a complete letdown. The tricks were basic and unimpressive, something you could easily figure out with a quick Google search. It was like watching a beginner magician stumble through their routine. The audience interaction was awkward and forced, making the experience even more uncomfortable. Save your money and catch a better magician elsewhere.
3. Sarah - 2 stars - I had high hopes for Jeff Evans' magic show, but sadly, it fell flat. His tricks were nothing original or mind-blowing. It was all stuff I had seen before from other magicians. The delivery was lackluster, with no suspense or excitement built up. Overall, there was nothing memorable or captivating about his performance. I wouldn't recommend wasting your time on this mediocre magician.
4. Mike - 1 star - Jeff Evans' magic show was a total disappointment. The tricks were unimaginative and poorly executed. It was noticeable that he lacked the skills and finesse of a professional magician. There were several instances where I could see exactly how the trick was being done, which ruined any sense of wonder or amazement. I would highly suggest avoiding this magician if you're looking for quality entertainment.
5. Emily - 2 stars - Jeff Evans' magic show was underwhelming, to say the least. The tricks he performed were basic and didn't leave any lasting impression. The show lacked creativity and innovation, and it seemed like he was just going through the motions. His stage presence was lacking, and there was no engagement with the audience. I expected more from a magician with his reputation, but unfortunately, it was a forgettable experience.
