Spells of Magic -Online collection of spells. Some are good, most are dangerous; use with common sense and caution.

The spiritual community is rife with conspiracies, dangerous misinformation, racism, appropriation, queerphobia, ableism, and so much more. This section is to help arm yourself against such forces, recognize dog-whistles, and recruitment tactics of extremists. This is by no means an exhaustive list.

The purpose of including authors here is not to blacklist them, but to spread awareness. Many authors on this list have had an enormous impact on the spiritual community, but their works are rooted in misinformation, cultural appropriation, and racism. If you see a book citing these authors as sources, take note and read critically. Nuance and critical thinking is essential.
