Here you will find a list of recommended books, podcasts, and the occasional stray essay. Everything on the lists has deeply impacted me in ways that are far beyond my accounting. These lists reflect my own interdisciplinary background that moves across and between academia, witchcraft, astrology, tarot, dance, art, and more. I have loosely grouped the included texts in ways that I hope make them more perusable, but my experience is that these categories are somewhat arbitrary; many of these texts could be in more than one category, and all of them exceed any single designation.
This is in no way an exhaustive list—although I know it may appear quite thorough. I am a voracious reader, and having gone through a PhD program and spent 12 years teaching in universities, I have read and encountered innumerable books that have the potential to be world changing. These are the books that feel like they have been most impactful to me in this moment, and my hope is that this will be a living document that will continue to grow and expand.
Special thank to Vanessa Montgomery for encouraging me to compile this list of recommendations.
