Magia Magia by Alexis A. Arredondo and Eric J. Labrado - Review
Who is this book for?
Initiated is an empowering book but it's gritty and heavy and powerful. It doesn't hold back. It works like the mind in how it moves through memories. Thus, I think this book is perfect for anyone who is going through their own "initiation" or anyone who has faced trials and come out the other end even if they had to drag themselves out. This is a book for those who want to read about others who have pulled themselves from the depths of the underworld. This is for powerful witches. For feminist witches (though really all witches should be feminist) for witches who have felt othered, ignored, desperate for love. It's a book that will give you goosebumps as you think back to it. It's deeply personal but also, through that personal lens, a book that is so easy to vibe with. As someone who found herself in similar situations as the speaker, I also think this is a book for witches who feel like they've been through THE SHIT and somehow are still alive, but want to read about others who are thriving after all of it.
