I read Disabled Witchcraft by Kandi Zeller for the #FediOccultBookClub. As a starter in The Craft who happens to be blind, there was no question that this read was going to happen this year.

If there are other Crafty books that center disability as the practitioner perspective, I’m always up for recs.

Zeller gets straight to the point with this book. You don’t get hand-held about what disability is, what ableism is, or what witchcraft is. She’s writing to an audience that’s already familiar with the basics through lived experience. As for non-disabled and/or non-Crafty folk, I read an underlying assumption of competence along the line of, “If you don’t know what this thing means, I think you can figure it out.” I like this a lot, because it’s a pleasant opposite of many real-world experiences of disability in which the assumption toward a disabled person is that they are not competent.

“Connection to the earth is not a privilege for the non-disabled few. It’s the birthright of all humans—indeed all living things—upon this wonderful, stardusty planet.” – Kandi Zeller
