Ink & Ether\ \ Michelle, The Keeper\ \ • Apr 21
\ \ Nothing beats the post-market euphoria of a successful pop-up weekend.\ \ This weekend I popped up at Magic Market in LA for the first time. A cool witchy event held at Heritage Square Museum. Amongst the wonderfully preserved Victorian homes, a small town center is erected selling food, art, vintage finds, and magic. \ \ I had heard about the event previously, but hadn't been able to attend much less participate as a vendor. The nervous anticipation of the last month was all worth it in the end because I had an amazing weekend. \ \ From a business perspective, it was a profitable weekend. \ \ From a book lovers perspective, it was one of the best weekends I've ever had. Easily in my top 2 moments since opening my business last June. \ \ I met so many smart and fun book lovers. I had never attended an event where I spent just as much time learning about the books I sell as I did educating readers. A testament I suppose to really finding my coven of like-minded readers.\ \ I was so happy to see everyone enjoying what I had to offer.\ \ Here's what the best seller's were for the weekend:\ \ Hekate: The Witch by Nikita Gill\ \ A poetic reimagining of the goddess Hekate, this collection explores feminine power, transformation, and the sacred darkness within. Gill blends myth with modern womanhood, inviting readers to reclaim their inner witch and walk unapologetically in their truth.\ \ We Do This 'Til We Free Us by Mariame Kaba\ \ This powerful collection of essays centers abolition, collective care, and the ongoing work of building a more just world. Kaba challenges readers to rethink harm, accountability, and what true safety could look like beyond systems of punishment.\ \ Woman Who Glows in the Dark by Elena Avila\ \ Part memoir, part spiritual guide, this book follows Avila’s journey into curanderismo, a traditional Mexican healing practice. It’s a deeply personal exploration of intuition, ancestral wisdom, and reclaiming spiritual identity.\ \ Witchery: Embrace the Witch Within by Juliet Diaz\ \ A modern guide to living a magickal life, Witchery blends practical rituals with empowering reflections on intuition, self-trust, and personal power. Diaz encourages readers to see witchcraft as a way of being—rooted in authenticity and connection.\ \ Honorable Mentions:\ \ Wordslut by Amanda Montell\ \ A sharp, witty deep dive into how language shapes gender and power, Wordslut unpacks the biases baked into the words we use every day. Montell blends research and humor to challenge the status quo and reimagine more inclusive language.\ \ Legendborn by Tracey Deonn\ \ After the death of her mother, Bree Matthews uncovers a secret society tied to King Arthur’s legacy—and realizes she may be more connected to it than she ever imagined. This richly layered fantasy explores grief, identity, and the hidden magic woven into history.\ \ That last one might have been mostly due to my own enthusiasm since after a year of recommending the book I finally started reading it myself. Spoiler alert: It's amazing and I'm definitely hooked. I might even be rushing to finish this post so I can read another chapter before it's daycare pick up time.](https://inkandether.binderybooks.com/item/dPnAnWMD7WOISiu0fJ9h/)

Let's talk about Alabama, prison labor, and Luigi Mangione
For many of us, Abolition feels like a conversation we can afford to be late to. I am here to tell you that it is not. Liberation is not possible for anyone so long as we are comfortable treating humanity like it is a privilege. So, let's take a look at the American prison system, forced labor as a substitute for slavery, and how that relates to our collective response to Luigi Mangione. And don't worry, I'll leave you with some amazing book recs too!
