These LGBTQ+ Witch Books Will Cast a Spell on You

by ERIKA W. SMITH NOV 18, 2020

Hey gang! If you got some Amazon Gift Certificates for Christmas, here are some great releases about lesbians and witches. Two of my favorite subjects.

From Mel in Charmed to Prudence in the Chilling Adventures of Sabrina to Josie in Legacies, LGBTQ+ witch characters have been casting spells on us through our TV screens over the past few years. And a similar magical surge has been happening on our bookshelves, with the publishing company Tor Books proclaiming us officially in “the Season of the Witch” earlier this year. “I dare say that queer YA is finally big enough to have its own trends, and this past couple of years, there’s nothing we’ve seen rise further and faster than teenage witches in a whole rainbow of orientations and genders,” author and book blogger Dahlia Adler wrote for Tor.com in February.

If queer, witchy YA is exactly what you’re looking for, you can fill your bookshelves with titles like the epic fantasy series Brooklyn Brujas by Zoraida Córdovathe high school romance novel/paranormal adventure These Witches Don’t Burn by Isabel Sterling, and the graphic novel Mooncakes by Suzanne Walker and Wendy Xu. If nonfiction is more your thing, check out titles like Initiated: Memoir of a Witch by Amanda Yates Garcíaor Queer Magic: LGBT+ Spirituality and Culture from Around the World by Tomás Prower. Finally, those who want to practice magick themselves can pick up spellbooks by queer authors, like Ariel Gore‘s Hexing the Patriarchy or Cassandra Snow’s Queering Your Craft.

Here are some LGBTQ+ witch books to add to your bookshelves.

Regan and Meredith met online, on a bi-sexual Blog. Both women in their thirties are married with children and hold very elite positions in their chosen career field.

Over the years, the two had exchanged information, emails, and photos, but had never met in person. Then a situation presented itself when Regan had a sales meeting in Oakland. Meredith lived in San Diego and if the logistics could be worked out they might have the opportunity to spend some quality time together in person with a layover in California

Things sometime don’t always go as planned and Regan’s itinerary gets adjusted. The unforeseen adjustment appeared to make any in person visits impossible. As Regan is lamenting her fortunes, while she walks through the concourse and looking at a sexy flight attendant, Meredith appears out of nowhere to surprise her online lover.

VERY PERSONAL ASSISTANT

Sandra and Nicole are heading back from a sales conference when they are stranded in a huge snow storm.

PLEASE CLICK HERE IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO PURCHASE THIS STORY

Nicole is Sandra’s boss. The two of them were heading back from a very successful business trip when a huge snow storm traps them several hours from home. Quick thinking on Nicole’s part they find shelter in a home that is only occasionally used by Nicole’s brother.

Freezing cold, wet clothes and near exhaustion force the two to strip down and take comfort in front of the inviting fireplace. Nicole tends to the damp and wet clothes and the two settle in to ride out the storm together. After a few glasses of wine and the rigors of the day the two decide to head off to bed.

Together.

Since there is only one bed and a postage stamp sized couch. Unabashedly, Nicole climbs into bed with Sandra, in the buff. Shocking the sexy administrative assistant. However, due to the exhaustion, or the wine, it isn’t long and both women are snuggling up, and basking in the warmth from the contact of each other’s nude body.

The proximity of the sleeping arrangements, and the stimulation of the nude flesh on flesh, things escalate quickly and it isn’t long and the two previously ‘straight’ women are crossing the line and finding out what love with another woman is really like.

A Last Minute Christmas Gift from Candice Christian

CHRISTMAS CHRONICLES OF FORBIDDEN LOVE

Serena finds a journal from 1930 that her partner Janine has uploaded on their laptop, ultimately raising questions about Janine’s past.

PLEASE CLICK HERE IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO PURCHASE THE STORY

Janine stumbled across an old journal and numerous photo, belonging to her grandmother. She finds it fascinating and uploads it to her computer and eventually learns things about her past she never realized.

Serena, Janine’s partner accidently finds the journal while using her partner’s laptop and quizzes Janine about the contents. The pictures, Janine identifies quickly for her partner, but as for the journal she has yet to read it. Much to her puzzled partners consternation.

Afraid of what she will find, Janine has put off reading the journal, and it takes Serena’s coaxing to convince her it’s her duty to learn as much about her grandmother Sarah as she can, mainly because she raised her in her mother’s absence.

Serena has always been comfortable with her lifestyle. Janine, though identifying as gay, still has nagging fears and doubts about her lifestyle choices. These stem from her mother’s hatred of her sister’s, Janine’s Aunt Teresa, lesbianism from the early thirties. Her mother’s harsh attitude has scarred Janine and consequently has always refused to confront her demons, regarding her long dead mother’s opinions.

A PEOPLE PERSON

Selena Lange, is a woman known by her neighbors, daughter and her co-workers as a person that could bring out the best in other people.

PLEASE CLICK HERE TO PURCHASE

Selena Lange completely remade herself once she left her fundamentalist bible-thumping parents and transformed herself from a really, punkish, gothic, bad girl into a mature woman noted for her people skills and good looks.

No matter what Selena attempted she always did her best, and when dealing with people she excelled. The fact that she was a lesbian with a grown daughter, was no deterrent to her doing what she wanted, and always impressing people with her charm.

After raising her daughter Allison, she decided to reenter the workforce. She had been a licensed Aroma and Massage Therapist since she was a late teen. She used the skill to earn money to own her own home, put her daughter through college and left her beholden to no one. That is why she found the little massage business in Walton Kentucky so appealing, and she and the owner Evelyn were a perfect match.

The little shop catered primarily to women, some straight some lesbian, it was highly irregular for a man to make an appointment. The unofficial rule seemed to get challenged by one of Selena’s better clients when she asked to bring her spouse, Marion, in for a treatment for a sports injury.

Evelyn and Selena put the customer off as long as they could, until frustrated the customer drags her spouse into the shop and stuns Selena to the core. It seems that Marion, the clients spouse, is not a he rather Marion is a she! Things obviously take a turn to the wild side and it leaves Selena’s reputation unsullied and her bank account a little fatter.

Javicia Leslie Gets New Batmobile

In ‘Batwoman’ Season 2 Trailer

The new season starts Sunday, January 17.

BY MEY RUDE

DECEMBER 11 2020 1:54 PM EST

I am really excited about the return of Batwoman. If you haven’t watched yet catch it this coming January.

Another promo has been released for the upcoming second season of the CW’s Batwoman, and Javicia Leslie’s Ryan Wilder is looking like exactly the hero we want and need.

The promo mostly shows Wilder wearing the original batsuit, created for Ruby Rose’s Kate Kane, but we also get to see the new batsuit in action, as well as a new Batmobile with the red Batwoman logo on it.

At the beginning of the promo, we see those who were close to Kate Kane, the original woman to wear the cowl, talk about how she went missing, and how Gotham needs a Batwoman. This is where Wilder steps in.

“Give me a chance,” she says. When she finally puts on the batsuit, we hear a voiceover of Wilder. “Time to be powerful,” she says and shivers shoot down my spine. This is the Batwoman we’ve been waiting for.

This promo also gives us our first meeting of Wilder and Alice, the series’ “big bad,” with the villain saying “I met the new girl, she’s gonna be a… handful.” The sister dynamic between Kane and Alice was a huge part of the show, and the villain’s main motivation, so it will be interesting to see how Alice deals with having to fight a Batwoman she’s not related to.

Back in September, at the DC FanDome Batwoman panel, showrunner Caroline Dries said that this season will see Ryan Wilder step into the middle of the Batwoman universe we already know.

“Ryan, will ironically, ultimately, unite the Kane family,” Dries said. “There are all of these strands of connection that she brings to them.” It’s going to be exciting seeing that finally happen.

On the eighth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me…EIGHT MAIDS A-MILKING

Elena and seven of her girlfriends planned to spend a relaxing time for the Holidays in a cozy cabin in the mountains, then the Nor’easter hit, changing everything.

Elena has just inherited a luxurious mountain cabin from a recently deceased eccentric Aunt. Based on the stipulations of the will, she must spend the Christmas holidays in the cabin, beginning the middle of December.

Elena decides to invite some girlfriends to keep her company in the mountain get-away with her. But fate comes calling and a fierce Nor’easter comes through the region and knocks out all the power, and running water. The girls are stranded until the storm lets up and help can come and rescue them.

There is a sufficient supply of food, booze and water but it isn’t long and boredom sets in. Tired of card games, board games and reading; the eight women come up with a novel and rather erotic idea to entertain themselves for the duration. They may not want to leave when help arrives.
