A woman is anyone who says she is a woman. This book explores what that means for women doing magic. When it was published it was a book before its time. Now it's right at the forefront of thinking about gender. The book invokes seven Ladies who explore metaphysics through the lens of tradition, history, culture, philosophy, science and theology. Lady Magic goes one step further and creates a new magic, Sisters of Seshat, a sororal order in the Western Magical Tradition. This second edition includes a new introduction, along with new versions of the Sisters of Seshat initiation rituals that allow for initiations of more than one person at a time with three officers, making the rituals even more accessible for those interested in exploring woman-centered magic.
