The first accessible reader on magic’s generative relationship with contemporary art practice. From the hexing of presidents to a renewed interest in herbalism and atavistic forms of self-care, magic has furnished the contemporary imagination with mysterious and often disorienting bodies of arcane thought and practice. This volume brings together writings by artists, magicians, historians, and theorists that illuminate the vibrant correspondences animating contemporary art’s varied encounters with magical culture, inspiring a reconsideration of the relationship between the symbolic and the pragmatic. Dispensing with simple narratives of reenchantment, Magic illustrates the intricate ways in which we have to some extent always been captivated by the allure of the numinous. It demonstrates how magical culture’s tendencies toward secrecy, occlusion, and encryption might provide contemporary artists with strategies of remedial communality, a renewed faith in the invocational power of personal testimony, and a poetics of practice that could boldly question our political circumstances, from the crisis of climate collapse to the strictures of socially sanctioned techniques of medical and psychiatric care. Tracing its various emergences through the shadows of modernity, the circuitries of ritual media, and declarations of psychic self-defence, Magic deciphers the evolution of a “magical-critical” thinking that productively complicates, contradicts and expands the boundaries of our increasingly weird present.

A sacrifice must be made... I’ve never felt more alone. With a single spell I can defeat the dark witch Alaria. Maybe even save the world. But I only get one chance; if I fail she’ll kill me and my friends will become her sacrifices. To make things worse, Alaria is cunning and manipulative. The longer I stay under her influence, pretending to be one of her disciples, the easier I find the role. And blood magic is as frightening as it is powerful. Thomas and the others are here – so close, yet so far. I can’t risk letting them know it’s me. One wrong move and we’re all dead. The clock is ticking, but I haven’t figured out how to make my move. Then, disaster strikes and we find ourselves in the middle of a bloodbath. I have to stop Alaria now, before she slips away and all of this ends up being for nothing. The only question… do I destroy the source of her terrible power or will I need it to save everyone I love? Magic Sacrificed is the ninth and final book in the Urban Fantasy series, More than Magic, featuring dark witches, vampires, elementals, and more. If you like your paranormal with a dash of thriller and characters you'll fall in love with, you'll want to grab the edge-of-your-seat conclusion today!
